Any other veterans wondering what the hell this girlyman is talking about?

His last name tells the story.

What is it with the NY Daily News?

Are they munching mushrooms?

I have a Garand, don’t think it has much of a kick, but I have heard the Springfield kicks like a mule!

The recoil bruised my shoulder.

What a pussy.

My wife shoots an AR, emptying magazine after magazine without a whimper.

Or a Mosin Nagant. My guess is he doesn’t have the upper body strength to lift one of those.

It’s only horrifying if you’re on the business end

Another Idiot writer gets it wrong.

If he thinks firing an AR15 is ‘like firing a bazooka’, he would have been asea in WWII with an M1.

But, then, he probably would have seen to it that he remained stateside as a cook.

No insult to cooks intended.

He said the AR15 bruised his shoulder. Nonsense. In basic training I trained with both the M14 and M16, and I felt the 5.56 was a toy compared to the 7.62 round of the M14. The 5.56 was like my .22.

The gun shop owner is a bigger dipstick than the writer for filling the writer’s head with dreck about more stringent background checks and declining sales just because somebody “didn’t look right” to him.

And I’d be glad to have any rifle with recoil “like a bazooka” since the other name for that weapon is “recoilless rifle”. And yes, I have to admit my age by saying I actually have fired a bazooka. This writer needs a padded room and a diet of soft foods because I don’t think he’s actually capable of handling life in a world of sharp-edged reality.

Very well named.

Can't scrub the virus off that one.

“The recoil bruised my shoulder.”

What a pussy. My daughter was shooting my AR15 when she was 9 and didn’t complain because there is virtually no recoil.

Even in semi-automatic mode, it is very simple to squeeze off two dozen rounds before you even know what has happened.
If this moron can pull the trigger twenty four times without knowing what has happened, how does he manage the difficult task of alternately inhaling and exhaling?

The recoil bruised my shoulder. 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 case of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable.

This paragraph, where each sentence was more ridiculous than the previous ones, had me rolling on the floor laughing hysterically!

What an idiot!

AR-15 is a glorified .22.

WTF...
