“First in modern times” that both Dem nominees were gun owners? Easily disproven. JFK was a life member of the NRA, and LBJ hunted all his life (including hunting deer on his Central Texas ranch while he was in office).

Let’s assume, arguendo, that Walz maybe got a trophy in his youth for shooting (I know, I know, the man is such a pathological liar that it’s highly unlikely, but go with it for a minute). All of us here know that shooting is a perishable skill, especially as we get older. His recent episode shows that whatever skills he claims he once had have have in fact perished, or at least have gone very, very stale. That’s why he’ll never accept the various challenges out there that he prove his shooting skills: he knows he’d fail worse than Kamala on Fox.

And the old canard that veteran = proficient with firearms is just as bad. Obviously, there are some operators / soldiers / veterans who are superbly skilled, but Walz is a walking example of why it’s not necessarily a given.

I’ll even let him pick the range/targets and firearms to be used.

Really?

I gurantee you are not better than me, and I don’t need a defenseless bird and a ‘show up and participate’ trophy to prove it. Plus, i know how to load my guns and don’t need to go out and cosply in a fake hunting trip for the cameras with all new gear and clothes.

You are a fake Walz.

Is there a segment of gun owners that cosplay? sure. Do a lot of them know how to handle their firearms better than many that claim hunting or veteran status? Yeah very much yes. I always find “expert” opinions especially galling when they suppress actual learning and experience.

Hahaha!

At first, I read that as Shooting News Weekly commentary referring to Kamala and “Tranz the kids” Tim.

Excellent

He says he’s a better shot
than you and me
truth is he’s not
better get behind a tree
