Here's another one of her shooting and doing a bunch of other stuff.
Note at about the 2:20 mark shooting the same kind of rifle that bruised poor little Gersh Kuntzman.

The soundtrack violates good taste.

You'll get no argument from me.
I listen to
BOTH kinds of music... Country and Western.

But what if a weapons manufacturer could fashion a handgun that would fire a nuclear blast...
Well, why not debate the right to keep and bear death rays? The normal arguments against freedom get old and stale.
But until we can have death rays, I just realized I really want an AR15. I'll let my wife know I'll need to be comforted after I shoot it.
Kidding aside, his trivialization of PTSD was shameful.
Edited to add: When my wife was in the National Guard she had a lot of fun qualifying with the M60. I may have difficulty convincing her I need therapeutic home cooking after an afternoon at the range with a 223.

What's it like to fire a Daisy BB gun? It's an experience I'll never forget. Everybody knows BB guns are scary looking and ought to be banned, but I thought I would try to shoot one without any preconceived notions. What I encountered changed me forever.
I took a deep breath and determined to enter a Wal-Mart. A "greeter" met me with, "Howdy, welcome to Wal-Mart." I'm from the north. We don't say "Howdy". I sneer back at the microaggression and strain to hold back tears of rage. Barely controlling myself, I asked where I could find a BB gun. He directed me to "sporting goods," still smiling and gloating over his slyly delivered offense.

After the wildly successful feature where ace reporter Gersh Kuntzman gave us the straight scoop on what it is like to shoot the terrifying AR-15 “Black Mamba Star Killer Base” rifle, we here at the New York Daily News are happy to present our new feature ASK KUNTZMAN!
Join us as Gersh Kuntzman gives valuable life advice. Send us your questions, from lifestyle choices to product reviews, and together we may peer deep into his earth mother like wisdom. From his lilac scented crying pillow to you, rejoice as Gersh Kuntzman let’s you know what’s really going on in the world.
Mr Kuntzman my 10 year old daughter shoots her AR-15 often and she has never shown signs of PTSD so I am assuming she is doing it wrong. Could you look at her picture below and please let us know what she is doing wrong? Is her wrist not limp enough? signed frustrated father
Dear Frustrated, the answer is simple. Your daughter does not have what it takes to be a reporter for a big New York City paper.

Wow. That reporter has issues beyond missing the link between his individual freedom of the pen and the individual right of people to keep and bear their own arms. In one of his trite pieces he says only the military and the police should have AR15's, but doesn't want anyone raised in the proper and safe use of such things.
Here, instead of evangelizing his (sick and twisted) point of view, he tells a little girl she can't grow up to be anything she wants to be. She doesn't have what it takes to do his job.
Shouldn't he be telling little girls, particularly the ones with more spine than he, they could grow up to be President?
C'mon. She was shooting a rifle of the same caliber as my pellet gun, albeit hers had a bit more steam than my Daisy. It's not like she was operating a poorly secured black ops contraband server conveying national secrets or anything.
Edited to add: that will teach me to read headlines and not follow links! As penance for poor research, I'll let my post stand. Y'all have a good chuckle on me, please. It's on the house.

It's a safe bet we've all done it. I know I have. Most of the time I catch it before I hit "submit"... sometimes I don't.

"Journalist" is an incorrect expression of the man - "liberal activist pursuing the agenda" is more accurate.
Only other liberals actually believe what these pseudo journalists say and write.
Wonder what they would say if it was pointed out that the founders never imagined the mass manipulation of opinion via electronic means when they created "freedom of the press", and only intended the use of 18th century printing methods?

Maybe this person was from another country. I took a friend from China shooting and he jumped out of his seat after shooting one shot with my AK. He then refused to shoot again saying that it was "too scary". LOL.
