Blaze editor pledges $1,000 charity donation if CNN's Don Lemon visits a gun range, shoots automatic weapons with him

Earlier this week, CNN's Don Lemon was caught up in a little bit of a controversy when he fumbled the definition of semi-automatic and automatic firearms.

The story went viral and inspired TheBlaze Radio's Mike Opelka to challenge Lemon to join him at a private gun range to learn the differences between the two kinds of weapons.

Opelka even offered to donate $1000 of his own money to Lemon's favorite charity.

#Stuntbrainacs Be polite when asking @donlemon to accept my $1K #GunRangeChallenge. If we are not gracious, we are not worthy. #Testudo

Will the CNN host step up and accept the offer? Lemon's producer has been contacted. The offer is out there.

Stay tuned.
