At this point, it seems pretty safe to say that in general, CNN doesn’t seem all that comfortable around guns. When reporter Gary Tuchman tried his hand at shooting an AR-15 under the guidance of supposed gun “expert” Mark Hertling, something amazing happened:

The video makes it even better:

Ha! But seriously. Come on.
I’m no gun expert but there is so much that looks off here.

Somebody should have put that on a tripod for him. Yikes! He is going to hurt himself. ?

Take that thing away from him before he hurts himself.

One of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen. His form is cray.

I thought it interesting that his instructor never corrected his stance, and just allowed him to shoot like that.

Maybe the instructor just needed a laugh.
You have to actually try to get in a stance that bad – leaning back rather than back foot planted and leaning in.

Exactly! The AR is very light weight that no one should have a problem holding it. https://t.co/gRjJoyEUxZ

SERIOUSLY. WHO HOLDS AN AR LIKE THAT?! If you do, then I beg you to take classes and do not touch the AR until you can properly hold it. https://t.co/qYSSN1WYhw

I'm still relatively new to guns, but goodness. I made sure to research my AR before I bought it & I also PRACTICED HOLDING it before I did anything. Yes, I worked on my stance with it before I used it.

Before you shoot any gun you better master the hold and stance. You HAVE to become comfortable with the gun before you shoot it. @galtsgirl made sure I was 100% comfortable before I did anything.

Get some training.

This guy needs to learn HOW to shoot prior to shooting!!

We thought that went without saying. We thought.
