Snowflake Journo Fires AR-15 for 1st Time, Leaves with ‘Bruised Body and Spirit’

The main stream media is full of liars. Some of the lies are more blatant than others. This one is pretty blatant. While much of the firearms community is busy calling this guy a wimp I’m going to go a different direction and call him out for what he really is – a bald-faced lying piece of crap. You got bruised shooting an AR? Give me a frickin break. There is not enough recoil in the 223/556 in an AR platform to bruise anyone. Period. You are more likely to bruise your ass sitting on the toilet for too long.

My 14 year old son – who is 125 lbs soaking wet with rocks in his pocket – manages to shoot his 30-06 with little to no bruising whatsoever. The 06′ isn’t that bad compared to a lot of stuff we could shoot. But it has enough juice to blast an 8″ square steel gong off its ropes at 200 meters. Yet it doesn’t leave him beat to a pulp. And this guy expects us to believe that the AR is so powerful it can only be handled by the police or military? Liar, liar, pants on fire.

My 14 Year Old Son Tee’s Off On The 200 Meter Gong With His 30-06 Spr

Gersh Kuntzman is a columnist for New York Daily News who just shot an AR-15 for the very first time. It was an experiment to see what it’s like to shoot a high-powered rifle like the one used in the Orlando terrorist attack and find out “their appeal to gun lovers.”

Unlike his limited experience with shooting pistols, Kuntzman was immediately taken aback on his first shot:

It felt to me like a bazooka — and sounded like a cannon.

“I was just terrified,” he added. He was “triggered,” you might say.

The owner of the gun shop in Philadelphia where he was shooting said, “It’s fun to shoot something like that.”

But not to Kuntzman:

Not in my hands… The recoil bruised my shoulder, which can happen if you don’t know what you’re doing. The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. The explosions — loud like a bomb — gave me a temporary form of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable.

It didn’t take long after Kuntzman published his experience for him to receive the ribbing of his life. He began receiving messages like, “Hey there Cupcake!…You should surrender your testicles to the Department of Girlymen. I’m not sure where it’s located, but your girlfriend Barack does!”

And, “Maybe you can get some balls through Obamacare!”

Even RedState’s Erick Erickson couldn’t resist taunting Kuntzman with this headline: “My 10 Year Old Daughter Is Tougher Than Gersh Kuntzman, Author of the Stupidest Thing on the Internet Today.”

Kuntzman also got called out for daring to equate his reaction with the PTSD our soldiers experience. He issued an update to his story, apologizing for “conflat[ing] my very temporary anxiety with the very real condition experienced by many of our brave men and women in uniform.”

But before his physical and mental bruises had time to heal, Kuntzman rushed to defend himself in another piece, which is only going to backfire. (Sorry if that word brings up painful memories, Gersh.)

“Yes, this weapon scared the crap out of me,” he writes. “And it should scare the crap out of all of you, too.”

Kuntzman maintains that this “weapon of mass destruction” should only be used by soldiers and cops, saying, “I don’t think there’s anything unmanly about pointing out this fact:”

“Besides, if masculinity is defined by the power to commit violence on a wide scale, I proudly choose femininity. At one time, “being a man” meant standing up for what you believe in — and against injustice. By that definition, we need more real men in power taking on bullies like the NRA, which seeks to bolster the Second Amendment by shutting down opponents’ right to the First. We can’t even debate guns in this country, thanks to the gun lobby.

He goes on to assure his readers that despite his failed experiment, he is a supporter of the Second Amendment — “albeit under very strict regulations — the ‘well-regulated militia’ part of the sacred text.” But couldn’t resist one last whine:

Yes, I’m a wimp. I simpered because my experience with the AR-15 bruised me, body and spirit. But there’s nothing unmanly about reminding my readers that mass murder is much easier to commit with a semi-automatic killing machine than it is with a hammer.

If that makes me a girl, well, maybe we should have a girl running the country.”

I got news for you Gersh. There already is a girl running your country. And the whole world knows it. Now take your lying, snivelling, pathetic poor excuse for a journalist ass and go and find a real job.
