Gersh Kuntzman probably thought he was onto something. In the wake of the tragedy in Orlando, he decided to write a story about what it's like to shoot an AR-15. Sounds like an interesting story, right?
Well, unfortunately, Kuntzman reported his experiences by saying it felt like a "bazooka" and that the experience gave him a case of "temporary post-traumatic stress disorder."
Understandably, he got some backlash. Now, he's trying to argue that saying mean things to him in an email is censorship or something:
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.
No one is stopping Kuntzman from speaking. However, when you speak, people have a tendency to use their own First Amendment rights to lash out. The First Amendment is a two-way street.
However, as with the Second Amendment, the First comes with some responsibilities.
This is particularly true for journalists. They have an obligation to not misrepresent the people they quote. Oh, it happens all the time, but it's not supposed to.

If firing a AR-15 bruises you shoulder and gives you PTSD you probably she see two doctors. One for the physical issue and another for the mental issues you clearly have.
Resting my nose on the charging handle is exactly how I fire the M16. Works great.
With this guy....a cap-pistol would have bruised some part of his body.
this guy on the radio asked why would you want to hunt deer with an AR 15 ,there would be nothing left . It’s clear he knows nothing about the AR 15 and the 5.56 mm ammo and sounded like an idiot
Haha - what a fag
After her first shot, she sat there stunned for a couple of seconds, and then turned around and looked up at us with her eyes and nose streaming...
Her first words:"I shot that just like they taught us in Officer Basic... Yep, the Grendel has a bit more recoil!"
LOL!!
I’m lovin’ this! What a friggin’ phony this guy is! Congrats to all who called him on his nonsense—”It felt like a BAZOOKA to me!” Oh my, he really is quite the drama queen, isn’t he? I loved the comments!
This weenie thinks that those of us making fun of him want him to stop writing?
I want him to continue! His drivel is some of the funniest stuff I’ve read in a long time!
I hope he always carries an umbrella with him. With his bruises from shooting the AR-15, a sudden shower could put him in the hospital!

It's an absolute dream to shoot, no real recoil! More of a gentle push.

He mentions it again: “To me, it felt like a bazooka.”
I’m guessing he has never experienced a bazooka.
You guys must remember that Kuntman is the butch, badass, tough guy of the Daily News Staff.
Be careful, he might find you and beat you up.
I love my Federal Ordnance pre-1989 M-14A!
Actually, all three of them. One I hokeyed up into an M-14E2 with the pistol grip stock. The other has a wood upper handguard & a stock like an International Match Model 70.
`Gentle push’? This one practically asks, “Is that pillow comfortable? Can I get you some popcorn?”
Seriously, after all those years with that M-16 buffer spring going “ka-ching” in my ear, the M-14 is a rediscovered pleasure. The Army thinks so, too, bringing M-14’s out of retirement & reprinting relevant TM’s.
I had a 9mm Marlin Camp Carbine that would bruise my shoulder horribly, firing the relatively weak 9mm round. You can hold the butt of an AR-15 against your nose and fire it, repeatedly. The guy is a complete panty waist, or more probably, a liar.
This hysterical little pajama boy gives fags a bad name. They’re Beginning to arm up. This dirty little creep is browning his shorts.
Gash Kuntzman?
I held mine to my solar plexus and pulled the trigger. Nothing.
A friend told me that when he was in basic training, some kid was all afraid of the rifle, so he was instructed to hold the buttstock between his legs and pull. Again, no recoil.
“Kuntzman”.... appropriate name. Less the “man” part, of course.
