What's it like to fire a Daisy BB gun? It's an experience I'll never forget. Everybody knows BB guns are scary looking and ought to be banned, but I thought I would try to shoot one without any preconceived notions. What I encountered changed me forever.
I took a deep breath and determined to enter a Wal-Mart. A "greeter" met me with, "Howdy, welcome to Wal-Mart." I'm from the north. We don't say "Howdy". I sneer back at the microaggression and strain to hold back tears of rage. Barely controlling myself, I asked where I could find a BB gun. He directed me to "sporting goods," still smiling and gloating over his slyly delivered offense.

I had to retreat to my safe space after reading that. I've sent several unanswered emails to my friends, family and therapist to let them know I am unable to leave after the terrible trauma I lived through this poor person. No one has replied. I hope I'll be able to leave before the battery dies on my lap top. I forgot to bring my cell phone, so I can make no calls, so my computer will be my only hope of contacting the outside world.

I agree with one comment. "A BB gun is a gateway gun....it leads to more guns." I am living proof of this. I started with a Daisy and now I have MORE. I still have a Daisy too.

Thank goodness someone has read my post. I'm fearful of leaving my safe space, with no answered emails. Fading fast from dehydration and my laptop battery is just about deExcaliber wrote:I'm still cleaning my morning coffee from all over my keyboard......puma guy wrote:I had to retreat to my safe space after reading that.

Re: What is it like to fire a Daisy BB gun? It's an experience I'll never forget.
Hard-hitting investigative journalist, Gersh Kuntzman, in a follow-up to his first-person piece on the devastating experience of shooting an AR-15, located a group of men who had recently purchased a Daisy BB gun. These men, fans of Kuntzman's recent fair and impartial work, agreed to let the journalist and his cameraman accompany them to a shooting range.
Bravely facing the traumatic and unrelenting PTSD demons that now clutch at his very soul after shooting the unimaginably destructive AR-15, Kuntzman witnessed rounds down range from a BB gun. He posted this video report of the surprising and unexpected power of the BB gun, what prior generations in rural areas astonishingly considered a device suitable for children.
Kuntzman's recent articles about guns and America's gun culture have gone viral, but witnessing the firing of this BB gun was the final limit, a terminus. Unfortunately, he is relinquishing his journalism career, moving to Moosejaw, Saskatchewan, Canada, and will now concentrate only on his lifelong hobby of macrame employing only plastic soda straws...
