This is the stuff that inspires ISIS and every other flavor of terrorist to come here and slaughter us like Dodo birds, who went extinct, because they stood around while sailors clubbed them to death.
Oh, thank you. I needed a laugh this morning.
I'm a recoil-sensitive girl, and it didn't bruise my shoulder or give me PTSD. My 7mm-08 bolt-action packs a decent punch, though, and you'd better have ears in for that one. What a totally wuss.
Some where around here I have a picture of my diminutive wife firing a M1A. She shoots pretty darn well. I like to shoot the gun until my eye gets slapped by my thumb. Then the flinch sets in and I can barely hit a barn from the inside.
I guess there are people out there that have absolutely no experience with firearms. If you have one among your friends take them to a range and have them shoot something like .22 Rugar semi auto pistol or a .22 rim fire rifle. Get them used to the noise, smell and satisfaction of hitting what they are aiming at.
One more thing, then I need to get back to work. Last summer I realized we had put two watermelon in the basement, to keep them cool, and I'd forgotten them. So, of course, we took them out to shoot them.
Once the deed was done, the kids took their earplugs out, and one of them says, "I love the smell of gunpowder." Me too, son. That, and the smell of pine trees in the summer.

My 17 yo (at the time) granddaughter fired a buddy's AR-15 a while back. It didn't bother her one iota even though she is a slight young lady. She found out she prefers handguns (especially the 1911) over a rifle. She couldn't get comfortable with the rifle. Still, she won't depend on a protection order with her eye. Snowflake is a good description of the article author.
Remember the "Pajama Boy" pusscake from the ObamaCare ads?
It seems he has an older brother whose testosterone level is in the severe negatives. What a pansy:
"It felt to me like a bazooka — and sounded like a cannon......"
".......But mostly, I was just terrified....."
Proving he's never fired a bazooka or a cannon.

And proving he never actually fired a AR15 either. There is no way an AR firing a 223 is going to bruise anything. They don't even recoil enough to jar your sight picture through a scope.
