No one can accuse this guy of having an itchy trigger finger. But why do we have to read about this remarkable American in a British newspaper?
The Daily Mail UK has the story:
Here’s a man who hasn’t let his disability get in the way of his favourite hobby.
Michael has no arms, but is still a crack shot. He uses his feet to fire a pistol.
The bandanna-wearing marksman can be seen in an astonishing video clip sweeping the internet lying on the bonnet of a car, firing round after round of shots.
Michael rolls up his jeans, rests his feet on some cushions and, having re-loaded the gun unaided, let’s rip with another volley.
Squeezing the trigger of the pistol with the toes on his left foot and aiming with his steadying right foot, he warns: ‘Tell them: “If they want to come and screw with the U.S., come on!”‘
Just a guess on our part, but we’d say Michael’s a Republican. If he were a Democrat (1) he’d be anti-gun, (2) he’d want to understand why the terrorists are so angry, and (3) he’d wallow in his victimhood.

Hellraiser, I think Donavan was being "anti-semantic" (his words, not mine, but funny as hell - I know, you meant anti-semitic). Donny, you must live in a bubble. In my experience, having grown up in a country where libs have been allowed to call the shots (Canada) I remember when "for safety of all" they banned our handguns and now what was a right became a Privilege, if you met all the bureaucratic hurdles. Created criminals out of law abiding citizens overnight and guess what? they are still at it, flushing billions down the new gun registry rat hole some 40+ years later, with guess what? no discernable drop in violent crime. As a matter of fact, if you and your dad are NRA members, their may be hope for you yet. Read John Lott Ph.D's book "More Guns, Less Crime". It should be an eye opener. The intention is to deny guns to those who should not have them, the reality is it infringes on only the law abiding. The reality is that jurisdictions with the most stringent gun laws (restrictions) have the highest crime rates. Jurisdictions with the least restrictive gun laws or allow conceal carry, they have some of the lowest violent crime rate. Look it up.
if you read the gun control bills that come from liberals, you'll find that they are ONLY restrictive on those who shouldn't be buying guns... that's it. i'm not going to ignore that there are those out there that want no guns... but they are a very slim minority that 99% of liberals don't agree with. we just don't want guns in the hands of those who shouldn't own them. that's all. the media, and this site paint a picture that is NOT true. i know this as a liberal gun advocate. i know this because i've been an advocate since college... 15 years ago.
"they are a very slim minority that 99% of liberals don’t agree with"
And there you go again.
I did'nt say all libs want restrictive gun control laws, but almost all restricted gun laws come from libs. Usually from lib "elites" from The Bay Area, Hollywood, Manhattan, DC, Chicago, & Cape Cod. It is a constitutional right, not an arbitrary thing that can be negotiated. It is the left that has a problem with the 2nd Amendment, not the right. I know many lefties do own guns, & promote gun rights, but I would say the large majority of libs/progressives do not support the contsitution in the debate over firearms in America today. You won't see the Tea Party calling for gun laws restricting them, but you will see Soros backed groups calling for laws restricting or ending gun rights.
Donvan said: "as a matter-o-fact most liberals don’t."
You, are truly delusional. You need to get out more.
hey i don't want gun rights overturned—as a matter-o-fact most liberals don't. the problem is that we don't want people who shouldn't have guns owning them... it's not about punishing the millions, like my dad and myself, who own guns, from owning them. it's about putting regulations that stop those who shouldn't from owning them. that's all... and for some reason conservatives feel liberals are trying to take their guns away. not true—conservative myth that has swayed the votes of people who don't actually investigate the truth.
it's funny... my father is a disabled man, a member of the NRA, donates his gun collections to museums exhibits and is liberal... he' s also a member of the green party. you see you don't need to be ignorant(republican) to be a gun supporter.
Look, I will let in a something. Just like the fact that not all muslims are terrorists, most terrorists are muslims, not all leftist libs are for gun control. However, almost all gun control laws come from leftist libs. Wherever you see America's right to keep & bare arms being violated, there is always a lib doing it.
you mean.. the "gun control" that stops the mexican drug cartell from crossing the border to buy guns so they can use against our border control?... that sort of "control"? because last i checked, conservatives were against that. and do you mean the "gun control" that would have stopped those with mental illness, like the virginia tech shooter? or what about the self prescribe anti-govt., anti-semantic shooter at the holocaust museum? what about the crazy christian fundamentalist who shot a doctor (goerge tiller) who provided abortions... who was shot in his church... what about him? need i go on? the only thing the people on the left want to do is stop the crazies from having guns... that's it.
Lets punish the millions who legally own guns & follow the rules because a few thousand people can't handle that? Nope, not gonna happen. BTW, the Virginia Tech could have been snuffed out had VT not the dumbass "guns are not allowed here" rules in effect. Sort of like happened here...

...from a european muslim backround BTW, from the former Yugoslavia. If you don't like gun rights overturn the 2nd Amendment via the amendment process, NOT through the courts. If you are like me, & don't like people commiting gun crimes with illegal firearms, start hitting them with much longer prison time, with much less plea dealing.
GOD BLESS The United States of America
Wow... I seriously need to stop complaining about anything in my life...
Amazing.
Amen!
HIs left big toe looks a bit weird. Do you think he had it set that way? Its opposable like an apes. I think I'd like to have that done. I could walk around and clean up toys without bending over.
Awesome
