A seriously sissified shooting story
American Thinker ^ | June 15, 2016 | Russ Vaughn

Posted on 06/15/2016 6:17:50 AM PDT by detective

I'm an old guy who grew up playing rough-and-tumble from an early age, fighting when necessary to maintain my place in the upper-middle of the testosterone-fueled hierarchy in my small southern town, a kid who couldn't wait to get his first gun and go hunting and was later equally eager to learn the professional use of many lethal military weapons in combat against a deadly enemy. So it's really difficult for me to believe that any man could publicly and apparently proudly proclaim himself to be such a totally emasculated milquetoast, and an ill-informed one at that, as New York Daily News reporter Gersh Kuntzmann has done with this error-filled hit piece on the AR-15 rifle – which was, of course, timed to take advantage of the atrocity in Orlando.

If Kuntzmann has masochistic tendencies, then today he must be basking resplendently in the utter contempt and ridicule being directed his way from millions of American gun owners who read his article, opening with this sentence: "It feels like a bazooka – and sounds like a cannon," about a lightweight sporting rifle that is so easy to handle that it is popular enough with teenage female shooters to be manufactured in hot pink Barbie versions. But an admittedly "terrified" Kuntzmann goes on to proudly parade his ignorance by inferring that such a weapon can fire a forty-round "clip" in less than five seconds.

This is a good article about the MSM and how they report on guns.

The MSM get every wrong. They want to confiscate all guns from law abiding Americans. So they demonize guns. They use terms incorrectly. They lie.

A reporter for the NY Daily News recently wrote an article about firing a gun. The article describes it.

When i was in Australia i was advised to NOT wear my Leatherman in public places, because some folks would be terrorized and would start calling the police.

I have a new revised opinion of Australia.

I read that article. There are so many things wrong with it I seriously doubt he actually fired an AR.

Someone should tell that clown that, unless he was shooting a black powder AR, there was no smell of sulfur. Idiot!

The NY Daily News reporter has an interesting name, I bet he got teased a lot and it seems to have affected him.

You are correct.

The ‘reporter’ made it all up. He might have gotten a quick look at a range and wrote from his imagination based on that.

I read that article; my gosh his name name could hardly be more appropriate! Unless it was read as “Pu$$yman”.

I think he saw the movie.

Maybe he touched a ‘black gun’ and filled his pants.

I still don’t think there is one person stupid enough to buy a word of his article but I could be wrong. Anyone that stupid would have trouble breathing, much less reading.

Yep. Take away the “zmann” and he’s perfectly described.

We all had a good hearty belly laugh at New York Daily News reporter Gersh Kuntzmann yesterday.

Just like Obama, his god, “many clips on the Glock” thing.

"I read that article. There are so many things wrong with it I seriously doubt he actually fired an AR."

No doubt you are absolutely right. This story is complete fiction - he just made it up. Anyone who has actually fired an AR rifle (or any 5.56/.223 rifle) could see this immediately.

My 18 year old daughter can handle a Savage .308.
And probably kick his ass.

The article Kuntman was linked here last night. The general consensus is that he is a pussy.

“doubt he actually fired an AR”

Correct, I read yesterday that Perp used: SIG Sauer MCX (available in .300 Blackout, 5.56 NATO or 7.62x39mm)

Not sure which caliber he had.
