Double Tap Gun Shoppe responds to Kuntzman article
2016-06-16
Yesterday the man in this video from the NY Daily News called and asked if he could come and interview us about the basic principles of how an AR-15 works. We acknowledged his offer so that we could prove that an AR-15 is indeed a great and safe weapon as stated in the video.

After the video was filmed there was another Q&A type conversation on how things work in other countries, what are some of the things others believe would be a step into the right direction of gun control.

To our knowledge we did not know that Mr. Kuntzman would completely turn things around and make our establishment look like one of anti-gun advocates. We have received dozens of phone from all over the country in regards to the article. Many of these callers expressed disgust with the article and told us to stay away from the media.

I can assure everyone that we do not support mental health screenings like they do in Europe and we don't think that government officials should take away guns from people as it was portrayed in the article.

Currently we are doing everything we can to take this article down because after reading it we are just as disgusted about it as all of you are. Our team here at Double Tap would like to sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding and report that we are doing everything in our power to get this article removed.

I implore all of our supporters to share our apology with everyone in-order to help defend ourselves from the media who is doing anything in their power to blemish the face of all gun owners and attempting to add more rule to the fire of the attempt of the liberal gun-grabbing agenda.

To those that are writing negative reviews about us, please understand we had no intentions of having this article cause such an issue, nor intentions of us looking like anti gun advocates but, to educate which in turn did the complete opposite due to Mr. Kuntzman.

If anyone has anymore questions or concerns please feel free to come in or call us we will gladly discuss this issue with you. And for the record, if you get a bruised shoulder or PTSD from shooting an AR-15 you may be a Katie Couric, liberal with ought testicular fortitude.

#15  I read part of the original article was convinced the writer was a very sheltered, hysterical woman.

In his 'In defense of my article' he pretty much calls himself just that.

Between the 'could not adequately defend personal ownership' and the 'brass casing flying across my face' deals I wondered if the whole thing was being made up, except the range and interviewee were specifically noted.

I'm quite certain if using a professional range's firearm, the boss would make sure the ejection port would be on the correct-handed side.

I believe the clarification, and that kuntzman is an attention needing drama queen who would say he bruised his pinky if a Manhattan was served in the wrong glass.

#14  Skid, could that be advertised in the London metro or is that too "body" shaming for the other rifles?

#13  The proper term is snowflakes. And I do believe the gun shop owner and his sincerity. After all his store is called double tap!

#11  AR15 and those other black rifles are just plain butt-ugly and an affront to aesthetic sensibilities.

Some people have no taste.

#10  Make it in Pink (1) AlanC. And slap a 'hello kitty' face on the side of the stock to make it look more 'good feeling'...

(1) or in multi-colored stripes for the gay culture...

#9  I don't agree that one more will do it. And I suspect the next one is going to be a Beslan or Mumbai type attack. Besides, the anti-human vermin we refer to as politicians are not that far from triggering a very nasty push back.

#8  Sounds like a good idea Alan. I doubt the MSM would have any objection. After all, it's been over 40 years since anyone used an M1 in a 'terror' related incident.

#7  Beso,

I propose that a new style of rifle be introduced. Make it look like an old M! .30 cal carbine. Pretty wood stock, 15 round mag chambered in .223.

AR15 and those other black rifles are just plain butt-ugly and an affront to aesthetic sensibilities.


;^)

#6  For wat it's worth, I suspect we're only one more shooting incident away from some type of military style weapons prohibition. I suspect it will come in some form of Class-III addendum, with a very high licensing fee and lengthy processing wait.

I wish I'd said that.

Memo to all Second Amendment defenders: don't ever, EVER cooperate with a Progressive operative like Kuntzman in an effort to educate the public, for it will ALWAYS end with them twisting your words to mean the opposite of what you intended.

Don't trust the MSM. Ever. They are not on our side, and they have no regard whatsoever for the truth.

#1  Mr. Kuntzman?

I read part of the original article was convinced the writer was a very sheltered, hysterical woman. The country has been fundamentally transformed.
