Kuntzman doubles down
Yes, I’m a wimp. I simpered because my experience with the AR-15 bruised me, body and spirit. But there’s nothing unmanly about reminding my readers that mass murder is much easier to commit with a semi-automatic killing machine than it is with a hammer.
No, there’s something unhuman about having a fear of tools.

‘Kuntz, man’, lol

I wish someone would politely point out to him that’s he’s (pretending to be?) terrified, bruised, and quivering about the *least* powerful of common centerfire rifles. .223 doesn’t define the high end of the rifle power spectrum; it defines the *low* end, except for rimfires and some oddball or antique calibers. It’s a centerfire .22, not a .577 T-rex or a .50 BMG. And defining incompetence and timidity as somehow “feminine” is sexist as heck; something like a third of gun owners are women.
As to his imaginary scenario about a “super AR-15″…dude, go Google the National Firearms Act and the Gun Control Act, and look up the term “destructive device.” Such a weapon is *already* restricted under current law. He’s apparently as poor at basic research as he is at shooting small-caliber rifles.
If you can’t tell the difference between an atomic artillery cannon and a .22 caliber civilian rifle, you might be a New York journalist…

Well, at least he was aptly named….

Kuntz is “art” as in paintings.
And a simper is a kind of smile, not a kind of whimper.
Don’t nobody know how to talk right no more?

Too bad he is unfamiliar with the first rule of getting out of a hole.
Stop digging.

“Bruised” him probably because he either had a lousy teacher or he didn’t listen to the teacher carefully enough to learn how to do it correctly…

Only way I can see him getting bruised by an ar is if he literally jammed it into his shoulder as hard as he could. Repeatedly.

We don’t need advice from women on what is or is not manly. We’ll decide that for ourselves.

What would he have done with an ’03 on Guadalcanal, besides being useless with it?
June 16th, 2016 at 9:34 am
Wowzers. He’d have really soiled his underwear if he’d shot a Kar98 or an 03A3. I’ve found that the buffer system on the AR15 and the HK91 work quite effectively.

Wow. I’d call the guy a douche, but a douche has a pretty good chance of entering a vagina. This guy? Not so much…

No, it is unmanly.
I have fired an AR with the stock on my forehead. It couldn’t bruise an apple.

It goes beyond “wimp”. I am the most pathetically out of shape individual I know and after putting about a hundred rounds down range with an AR-15, my shoulder was just find. I am a wimp, and resent being lumped in with this creature. I don’t think the English language has a word pathetic enough to describe what Kuntzman is.

There’s nothing unmanly about reminding my readers that mass murder is much easier to stop with a semi-automatic killing machine than it is with a hammer.
I also remind my readers that the second amendment is not about hunting or other sport, but about weapons of combat and self defense, manliness notwithstanding.

Good thing no one had a .45-70 Gov’t or 450 Marlin on the range. Those assault lever guns have more weight of lead in the tube clip than an AR-15.

I’m a 90lbs woman and I have shot 338mags, My AR is a pleasure to shoot. What a pansy.

“A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity.”
Sigmund Freud
Don’t know if this is real or not but seems true enough.

Ben: Nuclear weapons are not covered under the NFA; I believe there’s other laws just for nuclear badness.
(“But what if a weapons manufacturer could fashion a handgun that would fire a nuclear blast — an atomic version of an AR-15, if you will. It would look like a gun, but it could kill thousands instead of dozens. Like a rifle, it’s one of many arms that we are allowed to keep and bear. But would we really stand idly by as people buy a nuclear gun in the name of the Second Amendment?”
Someone ought to tell him that muzzle-loading cannon of any size at all are still perfectly legal.
Load one with shot and fire it at a crowd; you could kill hundreds of people at once.
And yet! This is legal and it never seems to happen.
Baffling, isn’t it?)

That said, I’m willing to believe he was “bruised”.
If you have a soft-ish shoulder, and don’t know how to !@$^ hold the damned thing, you could get very light bruising from the hard edges of a plastic stock; it’s not like the AR platform is recoilless.
Most of us wouldn’t think such a thing worth even mentioning, but I don’t think he’s making it up – I just think he’s playing it up for effect, and he’s super-sensitive because he already had decided that guns are scary and dangerous and bad and was thus sure that firing one ought to Basically Be Terrifying And Dangerous And Scarring.)
