Judging from the rest of this article, I wonder if this gun shop even exists.

What a pussy. And he wasn’t testing an AR either because it was select fire according to article.

How about he goes and shoots this... for an education on what is horrifying, menacing, and very loud ?

Considering the rest of the article, “select fire” to this guy is probably just the safety.

Safety on - no fire

Safety off - bazooka time

So a reporter lies. He lies to advance his agenda. He lies to please his editor. He lies to brown nose his employer. He lies to protect his paycheck.

For whatever reason, a reporter lies, because no matter how you spin this, this story is full of lies. AR 15's do not kick. The recoil is, by any measure, mild at worst. With hearing protection, the most you hear is a a soft "clunk".

The gun shop owner has attitudes I've never encountered in several decades of interactions in gun shops, but I wasn't there. I know what I believe, but since I wasn't there, I won't say he's lying about what this owner said. but given how easy it was for this guy to lie about other things in this story, just say I have my doubts.

Lying in the press has happened before, and I'm never surprised by it, and you shouldn't be surprised either.

12 gauge magnum is friggin’ ruthless!

30-30 isn’t so bad. That is the first strong rifle I fired as a kid, it didn’t knock me out of the tree so that one was okay.

30-06 is a man’s rifle for sure, and a 300 win mag is basically like standing next to a tank firing its main gun.

Who is Gooshy Kuntman and why is he writing this drivel?

This is not an AR-15.

The AR has to be the most comfortable shooting gun since the M1 carbine. You have to be a tough girl if you like shooting Mosins.

“How about a 12 gauge.”

My 18-year old daughter (130 lbs?) DOES feel it after shooting 200 plus rounds of 12 gauge trap and skeet in a day. No bruises though.

“Kuntzman is living in lala land and should stay there.”

That may be true, but you have to admit he is well named.

Watching BOR talking banning “high power” and “heavy weapons”.
Obviously thinks those are being used.
So Bill’s a blatant gun ignoramous, too.

An AR-15 has such a gentle recoil that a nine year old girl can fire one without bruising. I have to wonder how much of this article is a lie and just made up.

I wonder WTF these dildos call a 303 ENFIELD, Or a Springfield for that matter.

Hey ASSHOLES!? What is a M1 Garand? Or even a M14?

The most dangerous weapon in the world is a human with bad intentions. Lets ban them, how bout that you dilos.
How about this. What can a human do with a pen or a pencil? Through the human eye is a direct soft route to the brain. Ban those also!
