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.

This pussy would find a gay dinner theater too masculine and intimidating.
One of the pluses of the AR15 is that lack of recoil makes for more accurate followup shots. The only thing with less recoil is a 22 or maybe an air rifle. I’ve not shot any of the modern air rifles so I don’t know that to be fact.
The first 10 amendments to the Constitution are not called the Bill of Needs.

Rotting human flesh?
Burned villages?

A wimp, he should fire my M-44 with a shortened barrel...

Girly-man needs to sign up for a Charles Atlas correspondence course.
You can shoot the Ar15 from the Hip, I dare you to try that with my 30.06, and yes it Will break your Shoulder if not held properly
Bruises don’t show up for a little while.
Unless he is familiar with bruising ...
What a woosy! I just taught a 16 year old girl to shoot one. You’d think she invented it listening to how she praises it. Her parents were just stupefied that she now wants one of her own, even to forsake having her own car.
What a pussy! Thank God I’m a woman and not so afraid.
That’d be me. A friend who was a collector took me to a shooting range years ago and tried to teach me. I shot a revolver and some kind of Beretta handgun. I was shaking like a leaf! The odd thing was that I was a pretty good shot (beginner’s luck) but never wanted to do it again. I think I’d prefer a rifle - and would be happiest at archery, instead.

“The smell of sulfur made me sick.”
I guess he’s never been to a 4th of July celebration. Not surprising.
