Let’s start by stating the obvious: The View‘s Joy Behar is utterly clueless about guns, but she keeps pushing for more and more gun control. Frankly, it’s probably her ignorance about guns and the history of gun control that lead her to push for it. Ignorance and gun control often go hand-in-hand for those who aren’t politicians.
(Politicians often know exactly what they’re pushing for: to disarm you so that you can’t oppose their attempts to control you and profit from that control of you.)
Now, to give you an idea of how much of an ignoramus Behar is about guns, let me remind you of what she said on television about hunting with AR-15s less than six months ago (at the time of this writing). She said,
“But also, if you shoot with an AR-15 — let’s say you shoot a deer — you can’t eat it because you’ve basically demolished the animal.”
Yes, she actually said that, and if you want to know more about that stupidity, you can read more about it here. I wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t actually heard her say it.
But, let’s give Behar the benefit of the doubt, shall we (something that, no doubt, she wouldn’t give to us)? Maybe she wasn’t thinking of an AR-15 when she said it would destroy the animal. Maybe, just maybe, she was thinking of the 950 JDJ Fat Mac, which is reportedly the largest sporting rifle in the entire world.
And after seeing one, I can see why she would think that shooting something with this gun might destroy it. Frankly, shooting it might destroy me (300 lbs of felt recoil? Really?!?).
It’s massive, and you can see a video about it below.
If I’m being completely honest, I’d love to get my hands on one of these to shoot. Once. Just to be able to say that I did it.
But I’m not sure that my shoulder could handle taking a second shot.
What do you think about this rifle? Comment below.
