Lol, Never Go FULL Semi-Auto

Full semi-automatic’: CNN ‘reporter’ fires AR-15, gets brutally mocked on Twitter
Conservative Firing Line
By Joe Newby - February 28, 2018
In a video posted to YouTube on Monday, CNN reporter Gary Tuchman tried his hand at firing an AR-15, the weapon seen by most anti-gunners as the most evil “assault” weapon ever devised by man, under the tutelage of retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, a national security, intelligence and terrorism analyst for CNN.

Breitbart posted a short graphic of Tuchman trying to fire the weapon on Twitter:

The video is embedded in this story and has to be seen to be believed !

This has been getting a lot of airtime but the LTG was Armor and commanded the 1st Armor Div. How expert would an Infantry LTG be talking about tanks? He quickly tweeted that he misspoke but of course the Fake News Network didn't show that.

Every soldier qualifies with an M4/M16 variant....not every soldier qualifies with a tank.

Full semi automatic......he might as well have said 'going full retard'....

The LTG looked like a dumb ass, allowed himself to stand next to an unsafe moron barley controlling the weapon....and he was the safety?

They should have had a soldier demonstrate the correct way to fire a rifle

True enough, but I worked several years in television. If they want to make you look like a fool, they will. If they want to polish a turd, they can.

Many times I've heard Army guys, including SF, pronounce “cache” (hidden) as “cash-AY” rather than the proper pronunciation “cash”. “Cash-AY” (prestige) is spelled “cachet”.

Let's say that a massive WMD cache was found in Iraq in 2003 and the LTG on the scene was interviewed by CNN and said, “We have found a large cash-AY of WMD here today.” How do you think that they would have played that up? He would be made a fool of just like this LTG was.

Don't go on CNN. Or any network for that matter!

I think you might be missing something.....this was a CNN reporter...they were not trying to make him look the fool (he and the LTG did that for themselves)...they were trying to show how scary that black rifle is...the LTG also works for CNN in some capacity.

They thought they looked serious....that is the funny part.

"Cash-ay" is also the way to say it if you want to pay homage (see what I did there?) to the original French word.

Or, if you are planning a meeting point with someone, do you refer to it as a "ren-dezz voos" point, or a "ron-day vu" (rendez-vous) point?

What do you expect from a P***y CNN reporter who most likely drives around in a Prius with a COEXIST sticker on the bumper. Parents, don't let your sissy son play with weapons

You’re both out of touch here, it’s not cash, nor is it cash-ay, it’s a Canadian pronunciation.... cash-eh.

I figure any retired Gen working for CNN is a quisling who doesn't support and defend the Constitution.

He sounded like a doofus.

Haha, some of the comments are great. Wonder why he is pretending he's in a wind tunnel?....maybe that is oppressive conservatism blowing him back, preventing him from shouldering that weapon...I guess a D-bag firing a weapon would look like that?

Such language from a lady...

...then go wash the soap out of your mouth with some tequila

You got it.

This was an attempted hit piece by the reporter, the retired General and the CNN organization on the AR.

As we know, CNN is the same organization that would report 17 year old drug dealing gangbangers shooting up rival drug dealing gangbangers...

...as “children, just about to turn their life around...slaughtered by gun violence and weapons of war...”
