So low that I think the governor should call for a state of emergency and the attorney general should start an investigation.
The recoil bruised my shoulder. 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 case of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable.

I checked Mr. Kintzman’s Tweeter feed and this was the first thing that popped:
This video is your answer:
A 13-year-old girl is manlier than you, Mr. Kuntzman. You don’t even qualify to dress up Barbie dolls.
His hyperbole level is pretty high, though.
That whole article is a pile of crap.
He found a range run by an ex-European cop who thinks that to buy a gun you, your friends, and your family all need background checks and mental health screening?
Why the hell didn’t that ex-cop just stay in Europe? I’m surprised he can breath and not choke on our sweet air of freedom.
The reporter was disoriented from firing off some rounds of .223 with hearing protection on. That wasn’t the gun.There is no such thing as temporary PTSD, and to suggest that he got that on a shooting rage is an insult to every Soldier and Marine who got his or her PTSD from being shot at by Taliban or Al-qadea. That was a panic attack. That jackass couldn’t have been more biased if he tried.
And of course he linked to that other poop smear of an op-ed from the reporter in Philly who was all butthurt that she could pass a NICS check in 7 minutes. Most gun owners get pissed when the NICS line gets backed up and a check takes that long. What more does she want? The Orlando shooter cased a bunch of places before choosing his target, what would a 7 day waiting period have done?
These people are all tripping over them selves to be awful.
This may be their last chance to push a gun control bill with Republican buy-in (remember, McConnell has signaled that he’s “open” to new gun control measures), so push they will.
He’s right about one thing, they are loud.
The smell of sulfur (aka brimstone)? What does destruction smell like? A car accident, maybe?
I had temporary PTSD once. But my mommy kissed it and it went away.
Even people I know who loath guns whom I’ve dragged to the range have been able to handle an AR. Some have converted to our side, others kinda just go “eh, not into it…” and leave it at that.
No PTSD cases or bruised shoulders…
That little girl is my hero.
His last name is revealing.
(yes, I went there.)
All kidding aside, he claims that firing semi-auto, “it is very simple to squeeze off two dozen rounds before you know what happened.” He’s a fucking liar.
The video is priceless. What a dweeb. The guy should have given him a Barrett to try out.
The whole thing may be a con. He says it bwoozed his widdle shoulder. A million people who know better say it ain’t so and post pictures of 7-year-old girls shooting ARs. Then the antis say, “See? This gun is so easy to shoot, a child could murder a thousand people with it in a minute! We have to ban them, for the children!”
KEK…I’d like him to shoot my 7+1 semi-auto short barrel 12 gauge. He’d have to put the parts of his shoulder in a container, carry it to a medical professional to be re-assembled and re-installed
