To gun lovers, you can't even have an opinion on assault rifles-unless it's theirs. Here's the proof
NY Daily News ^ | June 15, 2016 | Gersh Kuntzman

The gun debate is also a gender war.

In all my years in journalism — coming up on 30 (thanks) — I have never received so much angry mail as I did after yesterday's story, "What is it like to fire an AR-15? It's horrifying, menacing and very very loud."

I don't mind spirited debate, but many correspondents told me that even expressing an opinion about today's high-powered weaponry is off-limits to those of us who don't own such guns.

To reiterate, the goal of the story was simply to share with readers my experience of firing an AR-15, which very few of them have done. I found the sheer power of the weapon horrifying. I found the noise deafening and anxiety provoking. I was frightened by its potential for rapid, catastrophic, Orlando-like carnage with similiar weaponry. Using an AR-15 made me irritable and jittery for hours afterwards. To me, it felt like a bazooka.

[Snip]

"Hey there Cupcake!" wrote Gary Haney. "I have never subscribed to the idea of 'gender confusion,' but after reading your article on the AR-15, I'm a believer because there is no way you and I are the same gender. You should surrender your testicles to the Department of Girlymen. I'm not sure where it's located, but your girlfriend Barack does!"

Others sent me videos of 7-, 10- and 12-year old girls firing the same weapon I fired — except these kids were smiling.

“Maybe we should have a girl running the country.”

Maybe we should. But Sarah Palin isn’t running.

Gersh — (n.) a human male who lacks any of the characteristics of that sex, including any measure of courage, strength, or fortitude; a eunuch. Ex: When the young boys were castrated, many of them became gershes.

(v.) To make a human male into a spineless, quivering mass of cowardice. Ex: Firing an AR-15 gershed the left-wing journalist and caused him to soil his thong panties.

With stalwarts like this guy, Mike Lupica and Linda Stasi writing for them, I can’t imagine how the Daily Snooze could still be losing money.

This guy.....

....what was he thinking when writing this follow-up? That all who mocked him before would show their remorse and beg his forgiveness?

He’s just opened himself up for more mockery. What a freak...

...and the leftists (like this guy) wonder why we have such contempt for them. Such incredible incapacity for common sense it defies all reason....

...shakes head in disbelief ....sheesh...

Dozens of rounds in just a few seconds? Where did he get that AR15? He’s flat out lying when he attributes those capabilities to an AR15.

He is a bought and paid for mouthpiece of a bought and paid for newspaper directed by the oligarchs of the NWO. The way they view this article:
1. It will further solidify those opposed to gun rights to increase their opposition to the 2ndA, thus helping to disarm free people; and
2. It will offend gun owners, thus creating more friction and tension between two elements of our society (pro and con); and
3. It will cause independent non-gun owning people to begin to question gun rights.
So to the NWO masters, this gradually works - expect to see it all of the time for the rest of your life - and your children’s lives if you and I keep the torch of freedom burning. The drivel will only get worse.

A 30.06 with a scope pressed right up to his girly eyes and pull the trigger.

The she-man will cry like a baby when it recoils, smashes his glasses and puts an imprint of the end of the scope around his eye socket.

Now that might hurt but even then, real men wouldn't be whining like this girl does.
