As Twitchy reported earlier Thursday, ABC 13 picked a curious photo to go with its story of a bazooka found during a raid in downtown Houston. The tweet’s since been deleted, either because of the photo or because authorities later said a bazooka was not found among the stash of weapons.
That was definitely the media’s gun moment of the day, but Jesse Kelly wants to know which is your favorite media gun moment of all time. He’s provided four options, although we’d also nominate former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh showing off the “rocket launcher” the city picked up at one of its gun buyback events.
Ok, I’m sorry to do this, but it’s time to make a choice. You can choose one and only one favorite media gun moment. Or you’re welcome to respond with one you think tops these four.

So what do we have: the “bazooka,” a HuffPost reporter asking if anyone could confirm that “rubber bullets” (that were actually earplugs) were fired in Ferguson, Missouri, USA Today’s graphic of the AR-15 with the “chainsaw bayonet” attachment, or the New York Daily News reporter who claims he suffered from PTSD after firing an AR-15 at a shooting range.

Gersh Kuntzman and his PTSD

Kuntzman, no question.

Bro, give the rubber bullet guy another look.

The chainsaw bayonet modification will always be the best.

Just the story has to be Mr. PTSD but so many memes came from the chainsaw bayonet pic.twitter.com/9FirqBz0Fo

Chainsaw bayonet will never be defeated

The PTSD one ??☠?☠☠☠

Chainsaw bayonet is still the modification and upgrade I’m looking for.
— Adam Weathers (@hueyweathers) April 30, 2020
Some people have made it happen.
I'm a fan of the chainsaw bayonet myself. That one was pretty fun.

Rubber bullets! It's still a joke at St Louis gun ranges
— That 1 guy (@RKruggr) April 30, 2020
PTSD because I know the guy.

"Full semi-automatic" has to rank among the best.

Gersh’s “PTSD”
— Travy (@trabreee) April 30, 2020
Definitely AR-15 PTSD

Like come on, what a wuss!
— RogueMillennielle??? (@RMillennielle) April 30, 2020
Rubber bullets. Though I’m surprised the chainsaw bayonet was real. I had assumed the meme started off from something more rational.
— 9bod1strtroll. (@bakedandblitzed) April 30, 2020
Kuntzman, and it's not even close.
Although, I admit strong amazement that anyone in Houston (!) could make that bazooka mistake.
Still, Kuntzman.
— Mike Moss (@_MikeMoss) April 30, 2020
The correct answer is Gersh Kuntzman and it's not even close.
— JimDelRey #ChiComDelendaEst (@JimDelRey) April 30, 2020
Chainsaw bayonet, no question.

No way I should feed your Jarhead fan base this one, but I must vote General Fully Semi-Automatic, with his live fire demonstration of competence. https://t.co/o5bhdcxPRP

I thought about that one long and hard. I could only pick four. He barely missed the cut.

This kind of claim always blows my mind. Do they lack all reason? pic.twitter.com/rD3uI9oZdg

I got so much play out that ear plug tweet. And that was like 6 accounts ago, right before my last deployment to Afghanistan. Pure nostalgia.

The chainsaw bayonet was actually a brilliant idea.
— ATX (@300_Joules) April 30, 2020
That wasn’t PTSD he was feeling it was testosterone he was feeling for the first time.

Tough call between rubber bullets and chainsaw bayonet.
Have to go with chainsaw bayonet so I can type chainsaw bayonet again because, not gonna lie, I want one.— #️⃣1️⃣9️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ (@hashtag1900) April 30, 2020
PTSD by far. Especially after the teenage girl in competitive shooting tournaments schooling him in response video.

PTSD

The others are all just idiotic, but PTSD guy is an effeminate girlyman.

Nothing will ever beat chainsaw bayonet. That's a meme that will hold up forever.

I'm going chainsaw bayonet. That was a fun week.
— Beard and Circus (@Shooter_ptpx01) April 30, 2020
Sad that I can't find it now, but there was a whole thread regarding how somebody found out that people use paper targets "SHAPED LIKE HUMANS!" And the responses were all people horrified and shaking with PTSD from the breaking news.
— Sabby (@SabbyDires) April 30, 2020
This guy, though he’s since deleted the tweet.
Ferguson rubber bullets. The anxiety in the question sells it
— DaveinTexas (@DaveinTexas) April 30, 2020
Rubber bullets takes the cake. No competition.
— Celine D. Ryan (@celinedryan) April 30, 2020
I'm trying to figure out why but I think it's because it indicates not only that a) he doesn't have any concept of bullets or rubber bullets, or b) that he can't use google,
but also that c) he's never seen foam earplugs. And I feel like that says even more.
— Celine D. Ryan (@celinedryan) April 30, 2020
Impossible to pick just one.
— J Lynn 2 (@Woke_Lynner) April 30, 2020
And those were just four.
