What is it like to fire an AR-15? It’s horrifying, menacing and very very loud (LOL/Barf!)

But Frank Stelmach of Double Tap Shooting Range and Gun Shop invited me, videographer Michael Sheridan and reporter Adam Shrier to come down. Stelmach is not like many gun lovers. He admires his weaponry, yes, and has difficulty explaining why law-abiding citizens need a gun that can empty a 40-round magazine in a few seconds. But he also hates the idea that “bad people” get a hold of a gun like this and use it to kill without difficulty.
“There should be expanded background checks — extending into your family, friends and associates,” he said. “And there should be a mental health screening. In Europe, if you want to buy a gun, you have to see a doctor (for a psychiatric examination) to see if something’s not right.”
......
The recoil bruised my shoulder, which can happen if you don't know what you're doing. The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. The explosions — loud like a bomb — gave me a temporary form of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable.

You would think this clown reporter was firing a .50 BMG!
Anyone in the vicinity of this shop, needs to stop shopping there pronto; they are no friend of the 2A.

His wife/girlfriend should tell him that they should both start seeing other men.

He should stay away from WW1 American bolt actions and the M1 Garand.

Most of the stories I’ve read about libs shooting a gun for the first time end with a grin and “I can’t wait to do it again”. This one just needs his safe place and blankie.

I heard about this guy. He would probably have required counselling following a visit to my great uncle’s place in a year like 1979, when my great uncle kept his guns in the parlour area of the old farmstead.

Reporters lie. It’s what they do. I don’t believe for a second that the gun shop owner what quoted correctly... or at all.

Educated at the Sorbonne and the Yale School of Drama Perhaps this should be ... "Pavlovian trained at the Sorbonne and the Yale School of Drama." Barks at those dog whistles, you know!

This pansy probably takes Midol for headaches and gets breast tenderness the same time each month.
I bet he knows the difference between the colors plum and orchid.
