I'm a woman, and I just CAN NOT with your 'logic' on this.
Allow me to tell you why.
I've shot a shot gun, handgun, rifle, revolver, pistol, and I think a machine gun? (At a shooting range obviously. Was on a date oddly enough lol)
OUT OF ALL OF THOSE GUNS, DO YOU KNOW WHICH ONE I COULDNT HANDLE?
The revolver
I was ignorant to the incredibly powerful recoil on this gun. The smaller a gun, the more powerful the recoil is gunna be. Because as you shoot, sense the barrel and weight of the gun is less, your fucking upper body and arms take what a longer heavier gun would take.
The entire time I shot all these guns, of course, I had assistance with the dude. I went on a date with he showed me and you know, assisted me and stuff.But for the most part, after I had the hang of each gun, I was holding it standing and shooting it on my own.
But immediately when they gave me this gun, the guy on I was on a date with came and held my upper body and one of the guys that worked there held the other side of my arm that was holding the gun, I thought it was kind of ridiculous.I was really excited to shoot the little gun because it's cute.
That's the gun that I wanted to buy, it's you.Because it's smaller, and i'm girly like that.Leave me alone, all right.
But both of them we're assisting me.I didn't ask.It was kind of annoying, and anyway when I was ready to shoot that gun through me and knocked me on my fucking ass.
That first shot I was like, I don't want to do this anymore with this gun and they kept telling me not to give up so I went ahead and tried it again and I could not handle that gun. I only tried it 2 more times after that. Because they were encouraging that I could do it, and I was so angry and upset that gun That little itty bitty, gun, it's so powerful. You could blow your damn hand off and break your own nose.
Not to mention, I have extremely weak upper body strength, especially in my arms, especially in my arms, they are the hardest part of my body to work out. I can use like 5 pound. Weights, for maybe like 10 cent. Sets before my arms give out, I hate it.
Women have stronger lower body strength. Men have stronger upper body strength. Okay. So the point that they're making about her not being able to handle her firearm. Yeah, that's an issue. Okay.I've experienced it myself, so don't try to make light of it
