Liberal gun control advocates fire a weapon for the first time

[Jack Burton]

I remember a story about a liberal feminist chick who went shooting for the first time. She said afterwards she had been searching for power most of her life, and now she knew she had finally found it. She could stand on her own and defend herself without the need for anyone to come to her rescue.

Now that is a changed mind.

"It was so much work, after one shot, I felt I needed a nap." LOL!! "It was so badass, cocking the shotgun." LOL!! At least one of them was being honest abut how they felt, the others seemed to enjoy it, but not fully understand why they enjoyed it. Then dismissing that enjoyment.

The gun is not The Power, The Power is within. For some though the gun brings The Inner Power out.

I bet they would have been a lot happier had they not thrown full on centerfire firearms at them.

Start them out on a 10/22 and see how they handle it before throwing a 12 gauge at them and scaring them away, geez.

Interesting video. I was glad to see one lady seemed to have her mind changed, at least a little, right off the bat. Plus, it appears maybe another one could be persuaded. Sometimes we're so invested in our beliefs, even when presented with knowledge/experience that rocks those beliefs, we're slow to changing our minds. Who knows, with a little more positive reinforcement, another one or two could be turned.

I enjoyed the video. I am not so sure that the 870 was a good choice for introducing shooting to novices. The one gal was done right after firing the shotgun. A 1022 might have been more enjoyable and less intimidating.

As soon as the dark haired young lady fired and turned around with that huge grin on her face you could tell she was feelin it!

Good point. My wife is good with firearms and stuff but after one shot with my 870, she was done with it. I did talk her into "getting up on the horse" a couple more times but after that, she was still done.

.22 pistol rifle then step up from there. I have found that if you get the on target with the .22 and let the ladies they will get so competitive it is funny to watch.
After that a smooth running 9mm and even a .45 is a smile bringer especially if you put them on some steel.

I thought it was a poor choice of firearms for first time shooters. I believe they should have been started with .22 rifle & handgun.

My first shot when I came to this was with an 870 with 00 buck. The range I shot at has some deep bays and the pressure-wave from the blast was... substantial as was the kick. I had bruises on my shoulder the following day. First timer's mistakes? Likely, but it left an impression on me non-the-less. Having seen the performance of the weapon told me it was the right choice for the application, but I had to get a better stock than the standard crap-tastic one on the 870 express. New Knoxx stock on it and she shoots much nicer.

I can see why the one lady was put off by the 870.

I will give all of them credit for at least trying something new. Several shifted their views to some degree, one who was pretty drastic. Some people will not change their views no matter the evidence, a trait all too common to humanity.

I thought the same thing.

Nice video.

I'm taking a couple of liberal friends shooting for the first time this week. I'm pretty excited about it. They're coming over tonight for a safety briefing. Husband and wife team.

Learning to shoot is very empowering.

 

[DRob]

I really payed less attention to what they said than the looks on their faces. For the most part, they were all smiling.

I hope they had plenty of DEPENDS on site.............

No doubt! Although I'm pretty sure the chick in the white dress pee'd happy pee!!

 

[Hookeye]

Hate the title of this thread.
A firearm is not a weapon unless the user makes it so.

And as far as liberals go...............changes of heart over the gun stuff will be forgotten before the next fundraiser.

Californians, need I say more It's a shame that they couldn't actually accept that they had enjoyed it

 

[Vigilant]

OK, so, I can agree maybe with the "don't start with a 12 ga. crowd", but the other was a huge, heavy 9MM, with virtually NO RECOIL, even for the smallest framed girl the military can get to handgun training. Even the big bad .45 doesn't scare small female shooters!

The hot Goth chick did accept and enjoy it! Ask her now, feeling less of a man, boyfriend!
