Gersh Kuntzman, a writer for the New York Daily News, recently went on a quest to experience the firing power of the AR-15 rifle. In his own words:
It felt to me like a bazooka — and sounded like a cannon.
One day after 49 people were killed in the Orlando shooting, I traveled to Philadelphia to better understand the firepower of military-style weapons and, hopefully, explain their appeal to gun lovers.
But mostly, I was just terrified.
Not only did shooting the AR-15 terrify him (and by the way, the AR-15 is actually a civilian rifle, not a military rifle, but let's not get caught up in specifics or semantics), it gave him a bruise. Poor Gersh.
"That's because you're a moron," Glenn said.
Holding a rifle properly would have avoided the tell-tale bruise of a novice.
Gersh also claimed to experience a "temporary form" of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

"Insulting," Co-host Pat Gray said.
"You are an insult to girls," Glenn added.
More importantly, his claim is an insult to real soldiers with real PTSD.
"Well, I don't know what sex this guy has chosen, but he's chosen to be a complete and total wuss," Glenn said.
