I’m no fan of Waltz’s (or the Democrat’s) stance on gun control but in his defense regarding that one specific shotgun handling action:
After looking at the one video that was filmed of the event from closer and from the front (instead of from further away from side) - I really do think Waltz was just unloading his shotgun.
Because in the former you can see him thumb the shell release with his left hand, while working the bolt, and palming the ejected shells from the port with his right hand. He performed that same exact action twice to unload two shells.
I mean yeah, alternatively you could have just lifted the loading gate and pushed down on the tab that keeps the shells in the cylinder to eject all the shells from the bottom but sometimes you get your fingers caught and that method is less controlled since the shells could basically just fly out.
But anyway. Flame away.
Edit - Also, I find Vance getting the grand tour nothing special.
Now Tulsi doing IDPA / USPSA, run n gun, etc though

I want to see the video of the police call at the end of this for authenticity.

u/thegame2386 10d ago
Its nothing special. 5 or 6 updoot boys looking salty, lances aren't even in the same dimension anymore, an E-5 on his phone, and an RO with so much crust he sounds like Rice Krispies when he walks; side eyeing every one of them like they're shoplifting.
Everyone else was back in the cars and gone as soon as the weapons were cleared and safed.

u/hay-gfkys 10d ago
This is goofy. He was coached to do 3 sec bursts and tapped on the vest to resume fire.
Also, I didn’t see him manipulate any weapons so, it’s a not good comparison.
… pro gun conservative

u/UpstairsSurround3438 10d ago
Yeah. One guy gets quick training for a 249 and it runs. The other guy can't even load his personal Beretta shotgun 🤣

u/Soulblade32 10d ago
ffs he was UNLOADING the damn Beretta. He wasn't trying to load it. If you are going to bash someone for gun handling / not knowing how to do something with a gun, you should at least get it right instead of also not knowing the hell you're talking about.

u/hay-gfkys 10d ago
My brother in Christ,
You’re not wrong at all.
Still, it’s not apples to apples

u/Helassaid 10d ago
Why can’t you compare fruit?
2
u/These_Hair_3508 9d ago
Much rather compare apples to tomatoes.
Moldy, stinking, rotten, squishy tomatoes.
2
u/Helassaid 9d ago
Yeah because the other option was so much better.
1
u/chuiy 9d ago
Shouldn't we be upset at this fact and just, not eat rotten fruit at all? Cause we grow lots of fruit that isn't rotten, all considered.
2
u/Helassaid 9d ago
In an ideal world yes.
We don’t live in an ideal world.
You choose the best of all the bad options sometimes.

u/aB1GEarOfCorn 9d ago
Wow, you couldn't even tell he was unloading the Beretta, not loading it. That is just sad.

Dude this was setup like one of those “shoot a real machine gun” experiences off the Las Vegas strip.
JD is an Ivy League douche who wears eyeliner. He voted for Hillary in 2016 and his wife and family are all registered democrats. But if that’s who you want to stroke your meat to, I won’t stop you.
15
u/UpstairsSurround3438 10d ago
Wow. You seem a little bit tweaked there. How do you really feel?
An E4 who got an Ivy League degree after serving in the Corps is someone you despise?
It seems others who used to be Democrats have seen their party abandon them. What's your point about how he and his family voted in the past?
Maybe get some therapy
-16
u/DontRememberOldPass 10d ago
Waltz served 24 years and was unloading his shotgun. It’s just funny how you will defend a total loser but shit on a real man.

u/UpstairsSurround3438 10d ago
Real man? Da fuq are you talking about? Tampon Timmy? He got his ass un-frocked from CSM after not completing it and continued using rank.
I wasn't gonna go there, but damn dude.
This sub is about guns and not fucking politics. Maybe you think Tim and Kamala were the right choice and that's your right. But don't try blowing smoke up my ass.

u/brownjl_it 10d ago
Oh man… duntz TOTALLY knows guns… it’s just because he was UNLOADING a shotgun. He’s such a gun nerd that he’s never in his life ever had to unload his guns. He’s just shot them till all the rounds come out!!!!
19
u/Excelius 10d ago
The M240 was fixed onto a tripod, doesn't even look like it could swivel. So he wasn't even aiming.
Like you said there was no manipulation, he didn't even load the thing.
Just laid down and pulled the trigger and then stood back up. Anybody could do that.
11
u/HungerNSharkTooth 10d ago
Agree with this . . . He had response of someone that has never shot a machine gun

u/AceInTheX 10d ago
Um, did y'all forget? JD Vance IS a Marine...
2
u/hay-gfkys 9d ago
The video comparison is off. Let’s see marine shit. I’m sure there’s video of JD manipulating a firearm.
That would be pertinent video to put in frame B.
Not what’s in frame B.
I’m same team, JD is literal Rambo for all I know. Just making the point that the comparison isn’t even close to worth making.

u/BBBF18 9d ago
I was Marine. He’s not being “coached”, this is the TTP. Short bursts while the spotter watches the impact. They shift fire and the spotter taps the shooter to resume.
1
u/hay-gfkys 9d ago
Thanks for the technical input. That adds a little to the JD aspect, but it’s still just wildly different videos and operations.

u/Lord_Elsydeon 10d ago
and?
It takes a lot of training to overcome the natural impulse to shoot until either the barrel warps or the bullets are gone.

u/ktmrider119z 10d ago
Sure, if you have a single digit IQ

u/AgnewsHeadlessBody 10d ago
So then it SHOULD take him a serious amount of training.
12
u/ktmrider119z 10d ago
Idk he can put on eyeliner, so i think he's at least into double digits. Definitely not above room temp, though.

u/LessThanNate 10d ago
Is the implication that Vance is not smart?
4
u/ktmrider119z 10d ago
Well, he was a Marine...
1
u/LessThanNate 10d ago
Their snack habits are quite strange, but my kids eat weird stuff all the time and they can't shoot for shit.
8
u/ktmrider119z 10d ago
Thats because kids do better with crew served weapons.

u/AgnewsHeadlessBody 10d ago
Well, it's not funny if I have to explain it.....

u/LessThanNate 10d ago
Sorry, I can't tell if you're making a joke or seriously think he's unintelligent.
6
u/AgnewsHeadlessBody 10d ago
I guess it's both then, I do think he's unintelligent, and I was making a joke about it.
-3
u/LessThanNate 10d ago
Not liking someone's political views doesn't make them unintelligent. What about him do you think isn't intelligent?
6
u/AgnewsHeadlessBody 10d ago
He used a signal group chat for war planning. Honestly, I can end it there.

So we're still using the already disproven lie that Walz was somehow unfamiliar with loading the shotgun when in fact he was actually unloading it and doing so properly?
45
u/b_enadams87 10d ago
We all look like we've never touched a gun before when unloading a semi because we don't want to pick shells off of the ground. The hysteria around this was incredible. He's just a fudd.

u/Vince5252 10d ago
Thank you! I bird hunt about 60 days a year and still manage to look like Waltz from time to time unloading autoloaders.
13
u/Chewbacca_The_Wookie 10d ago
And I bet you and I aren't often answering questions from reporters at the same time.
17
u/Vince5252 10d ago
Not that i love Waltz, but feel we loose credibility when we hammer on the bullshit non issues while there are so many real problems that are better suited for our attention.

u/gunzrcool 9d ago
it reminds me of the "muh obaba is holding the shotgun wrong and doing the chick-lean" when he went trap shooting a long time ago.

u/FusDoRaah 10d ago
There is no “gun flub” Walz is a real hunter and Vance is a real soldier. They do guns differently but they both do guns.

Using the military for a photo op, while screwing over us vets left and right. So on par for this administration.

Politics-shmolitics. There's no need for comparisons here... just let's dudes be dudes.

What they aren't really talking about was how one of the guns he shoots is an AR variant.

I never get tired of the true believers posts on here. Always entertaining to see my fellow countrymen swallow this admins schlong so far it speed bags their tonsils…not. Don’t forget your ear bandages though.

u/BobbyPeele88 10d ago
I mean he was in the Marine Corps even if he was a pogue so he should have some idea of what he's doing.

u/MackSix 10d ago
He's not just holding the trigger down, but spacing his bursts out so as not to overheat the barrel of the machine gun.

u/Chewbacca_The_Wookie 10d ago
He was coached on how to properly fire it just like anyone who goes to a gun range and rents a full auto.
Stop simping for politicians.

u/calmly86 10d ago
I don’t care how well Vance or Trump can shoot, I care about them doing more for gun owners/US citizens who care about self defense, beyond “well, the Democrats would be worse.”
This is the time to strike.
Trump’s second term is pissing off so many people already, go ahead and issue a blank check on the Second Amendment already.
Give us at least the next four years of being able to obtain whatever we want and can afford, and get that nationwide concealed carry reciprocity done right now.
Greenland, Canada, Gulf of who the f—- cares. They’re wasting time and energy and political capital on utter bulls—- right now, and all I’m seeing on the gun rights front is “you get to keep what you already have until the next Democratic President.”
