Guns are icky: NY Daily News writer gets temporary PTSD from the horrors of shooting an AR.

I wish people would stop making fun of that newser ... the poor dumb twit was working on a follow-up story and look what happened!

With that name it is clear he is descended of generations of Pajama Boys. I had hoped they were unable to reproduce. This is bad news.

The original article is unbelievable. This guy is a putz, a shmuck, at the risk of insulting little girls I would call him a scared little girl. On the weekend I had the pleasure of going to a range and shooting an old Enfield bolt action and an AR. He writes, I comment:

The recoil bruised my shoulder, which can happen if you don't know what you're doing.

You have to really not know what you are doing to get a bruise. The AR recoil is nothing like the Enfield.

The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face.

What a freaking putz! Do passing cars or birds disorient you too? Black cats? Thunderstorms?

The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick.

Strong stomach, Gersh. What were you shooting at that the destruction made you sick. We destroyed a paper target.

The explosions — loud like a bomb — gave me a temporary form of PTSD.

Are you kidding me??? Were people shooting back at you?

For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable.

I don't know what to say to this. This guy should stay indoors at all times, he might melt in a rainstorm.
