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

I looked at an AR-15 once and was overcome with an involuntary tremor and spastic loss of sphincter and bladder control.  It left me with severe ongoing failure of logical reasoning and inability to express an opinion that isn't saturated with embarrassingly inept, transparent propaganda.

"It felt to me like a bazooka — and sounded like a cannon."

Another clueless reporter.

I saw that on American Thinker.   Hilarious.   

What a wimp.  My daughter has been shooting ARs since she was six or seven.  She loves it.  My son got a later start as I didn't own any ARs until he was a few years older than that.  Both also have been shooting handguns and target rifle .22s since around age six.   

This author sounds like a caricature in a comedy film.

"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."

His shoulder was bruised by a rifle that doesn't kick?

Cut to an old lady on a vacation cruise ship skeet shooting with a shotgun.

I was 15 when I first fired an M-14 loaded with NATO ammunition (.762?).

BOOM-BOOM!

I'm glad the gun-guy escort hid his.  The reporter might have had limbs fall off.

Sad.

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.

Thats because it is a CMD (Cereal of Mass Destruction). It must be banned otherwise we will all suffer unfathomable consequences of having it readily available for purchase by anyone
