‘What a WIMP!’ WATCH: This CNN reporter firing an AR-15 is a straight-up HOT MESS

At this point, it seems pretty safe to say that in general, CNN doesn’t seem all that comfortable around guns. When reporter Gary Tuchman tried his hand at shooting an AR-15 under the guidance of supposed gun “expert” Mark Hertling, something amazing happened:

Ha! But seriously. Come on.
I’m no gun expert but there is so much that looks off here.

Is it too heavy for him?

Somebody should have put that on a tripod for him. Yikes! He is going to hurt himself. 😳

Take that thing away from him before he hurts himself.

One of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen. His form is cray.

I thought it interesting that his instructor never corrected his stance, and just allowed him to shoot like that.
— Brandon Morse (@TheBrandonMorse) February 28, 2018
Maybe the instructor just needed a laugh.
You have to actually try to get in a stance that bad – leaning back rather than back foot planted and leaning in.

Exactly! The AR is very light weight that no one should have a problem holding it. https://t.co/gRjJoyEUxZ

SERIOUSLY. WHO HOLDS AN AR LIKE THAT?! If you do, then I beg you to take classes and do not touch the AR until you can properly hold it. https://t.co/qYSSN1WYhw

I’m still relatively new to guns, but goodness. I made sure to research my AR before I bought it & I also PRACTICED HOLDING it before I did anything. Yes, I worked on my stance with it before I used it.
— Mary #FlyTheW (@mchastain81) February 28, 2018
Before you shoot any gun you better master the hold and stance. You HAVE to become comfortable with the gun before you shoot it. @galtsgirl made sure I was 100% comfortable before I did anything.

Get some training.
— Gregory Smith (@gregorsmit) February 28, 2018
This guy needs to learn HOW to shoot prior to shooting!!
— Keith Wood (@kwood360) February 28, 2018
We thought that went without saying. We thought.
PSA:
the photo is funny, but firearms are very dangerous when handled by untrained people with zero experience. If reporters want to do field reporting with guns, they really need to be trained on the basics first. I am happy to do this for reporters pro bono
