Clay Blasts Combat Vet, Congressman Brian Mast for Supporting Black Rifle Ban

Via Terry "Mast is our congressional rep. I never liked him but did vote for him
over the democrat. Never again."

 

Florida congressman Brian Mast begins his op-ed in the New York Times, thusly, “The most important and unregrettable time of my life was the 12 years I spent in the Army. I became a bomb technician because I wanted to save lives. I nearly gave my own life for that — I lost both my legs and a finger when a roadside bomb detonated beneath me — and have known more heroes than I can count who died defending others.”

Don’t get blindsided by the setup.  Rep. Mast is throwing his combat experience in your face to elicit sympathy and to set himself up as an authority on firearms.  Playing the humble hero card may work on many readers.  Not me.  I am also a combat Veteran, retired from the U.S. Army Special Forces. I know a thing or two about gunfights, having been in my fair share.  And I’d like to challenge some of the claims Rep. Mast makes in that NY Times piece as well as to push back on his stance that the government should ban black rifles.

Below you’ll find some excerpts from the article along with my rebuttals.  I’m callin’ Rep. Mast on the carpet.
