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.

“However, having that many without needing to reload might help if accosted by a gang.”
And two taped together for a quick turnaround is also a good idea.
This is a Drama expert, not a Chemistry or Munitions expert.
It’s silly to get all wrought up over this.
“The recoil bruised my shoulder”
Bwahahaha! There is no recoil and yeh firearms are loud. Is this moron for real?
We don’t even have to shoot Bambi, we just terrify him to death with the sight of the gun
I liked it but he’d crap.
What exactly is temporary PTSD? Kind of insulting to those of us who are actually afflicted. I’d love to see the look on his face after firing my 1903A3. What a pussy!
Drama queen, drama queen, drama queen.
When my daughter was in the police academy some years ago, she said the shotgun training was tough. 60+ shots a day. She was hurting for a while. Never complained...groaned though. For home protection she’s got a 38 spc, 9mm and a Remington semi auto 12 gauge.
Knowing anti gun lefties, I’d say this guy was an equal mix of metro sexual pussy and major league liar. Hyperbole on top of lies is SOP for the left on anything.
Mostly liar, didn’t even really research what would be plausible.
And so fishermen aren’t the only folks who lie.
This walking vagina would DIE if he ever drove an old gasser 10T M123. Nothing ever hurt me more...
He should stay away from WW1 American bolt actions and the M1 Garand.
We fired Garands 'til we ran out of ammo.
If this weenie suffered PTSD and wet his pants from firing a .223 Poodle Shooter with a spring loaded stock to
absorb the recoil imagine his horror if he had fired a 30-06 Garand with a hard wood stock and steel butt plate.
I’m inclined to agree with you.
Well that hardier race seems to be threatening to be the ‘Slammies.
It turns out to be a gay thang. It is a world so impacted in fantasy that it often does not care if it spouts untruths.
Even worse with an ‘03 Springfield.
What’s it like to shoot off your mouth, chum? It’s those same things.
He really meant to say "hellfire and brimstone".
The hellish connotations is what he’s getting at.
And truth be told — there is a tendency in America to condemn “things” rather than the use to which they are put.
If effecting a rescue, that sulfur (if present) would be the very smell of heaven.
Hard to move on from that one, sigh
