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.

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.

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.

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

All americans must realize, the gun control issue is not about saving lives, it is about enslaving a nation.

Even in semi-automatic mode, it is very simple to squeeze off two dozen rounds before you even know what has happened. In fully automatic mode, it doesn’t take any imagination to see dozens of bodies falling in front of your barrel.

The author is a complete phony. I doubt he fired or has even held an "AR-15 type weapons." He certainly doesn't realize that an AR-15 doesn't have a "fully automatic mode". I wonder what he things the difference between just Automatic and Fully Automatic might be?

I strongly approve of calling the journalist a sissy, but I don’t like calling him a girl or even girly/girlish.

My daughters would be disgusted at the slam against their sex. My wife is much tougher than the guy who claims to have been bruised by an AR-15. My mother is under 5’ tall and getting old, but she could still fire an AR-15 without any problem. The guy is just pathetic, and very few girls over age three are anywhere near that pathetic.

I read the article, too. He’s defined by the first four letters of his name.

You knew it was stupid with the “feels like a bazooka” comment. I’ve fired those things in basic training and they aren’t remotely like firing a rifle, and feel nothing like a rifle when you’re aiming or shooting.

You all nailed it with the recoil; we used M16’s in RVN, but I was attached to the Koreans as an artillery FO (8”/175mm). The ROK patrols I’d go out with used “acquired” AK’s. I much preferred them, with the kick and all.

Today I keep an “AR10” (Winchester .308/7.62x51). It’s a beauty and kicks very nicely.

Lord, protect us from the media.

I laughed a LOT when I read that a couple of days ago. Panty-waist is what we used to call folks like that.

I find New York Daily News reporter Gersh Kuntzmann’s article greatly OFFENSIVE. Like you my younger years were rough and tumble. I spent my adult life in the Army. In that life I was lucky to raise 3 wonderful children. We spent our lives around using rifles like the Springfield .03. The Army had me using many types of “rifle” like the M1, M14 & M16. I was fortunate enough to be allowed to teach my kids how to use all of them.

My son got watch A “Mad - Minute Demo and firing of the 1911 .45 M79 Bloop, 75mm Cannon, 155mm cannon, 175mm cannon. There were no Tears unlike New York Daily News reporter Gersh Kuntzmann would have and probably soiled his pants.
