What is it like to fire an AR-15? It’s horrifying, menacing and very very loud

I've always wondered what destruction smelled like

I tried to eat Fruit Loops once.  The spoon hurt my eye, which can happen if you jam a spoon into your eye.  The multicolored bits of cereal disoriented me as they floated in the milk.  The smell of artificial fruit flavorings made me sick.  The crunchiness -- loud like the destruction of worlds -- gave me a temporary form of HSoP (hysterical soiling of pants).  For at least seven months after (and long before) eating Fruit Loops for just a few times, I was anxious, irritable, and laughably prissy.

See rule #4  I have a moral obligation to turn you in for crimes of insensitivity.  It is unacceptable to to make sarcastic remarks that flame a individuals perspective.  I find extremely unlikely that you experienced such pain from something I enjoy and understand very well, this makes you a weapon of mass distraction, so now we are looking at two war crimes, buddy.  And I definitely dont want to any more complaints about freedom, economics, respect, pulling your own weight, or face to face communication.  Please, If you dont have something nice to say about me, be quiet.  Im resting for the big festival tomorrow and i dont want my eyes baggy.

I am growing more and more convinced that at some point in the near future, the pacifist, unarmed vegans are going to royally piss off the armed carnivores.  That won't end well.

I've never shot a gun in my life. But just going of factual data, I came to the conclusion that this is pure scaremongering.

I could've told you that.

The only thing I can own is a nerf gun lol.

The most horrifying part about shooting an AR-15 was realizing I was wasting 50 cents every time I pulled the trigger to shoot a stationary target.  "Why am I doing this instead of shooting clay pigeons with my Remington 870?"  Then I looked around at the range and saw everyone with their high tech, modded out rifles.  I'm not sure if it is genetic or transmittable, but I got out of there after finishing a few magazines so I wouldn't catch baby noodle disease like the rest of those guys had.

Imagine if he got ahold of one of these...  He'd be a mass of quivering jello hiding in a fuhrerbunker waiting for the end:

Read this a few days ago. If I didn't know better I would have sworn it was a excellent piece of satire.

Personally I think he just made stuff up.  I don't think it's possible to bruise your shoulder with .223, no matter how poorly shouldered.  And how on earth are shells flying in front of his face, when the picture clearly shows him shooting a RH rifle from the RH shoulder?  Now the owner of the gun store he went shooting at has come out and said that Kuntzman mis-represented many of his statements.

This is pretty funny..

The whole "bruised shoulder" thing really is the cymbal crash of dishonesty in the whole article.  I don't think it's even possible to GET a bruised shoulder from a 223/556 AR rifle.  Even a very, VERY light bolt action 223/556 like say, my Steyr Scout rifle - no WAY.  I've let my 13 year old niece shoot that, and she's never once had a bruise, and she's under 100lbs ffs.

Someone should do a Youtube video testing various AR in a muscle shirt or whatever, holding it different slight differences away from the shoulder just to try and force it to impact and "bruise".  I doubt it would.  IF it did, it sure wouldn't be a big one.  Shooting a single shot 12 gauge and holding it loosely - ya ok, but come on.

7 year old probably 50lb-ish girl shooting an AR carbine with a typical telescoping stock - she isn't pulling it in tight like a new shooter would do like the reporter who would be 3x her weight at least, and it's barely, barely pushing her, I doubt enough to bruise her through her jacket.
