We guarantee – absolutely guarantee – that as soon as this interview with Tucson shooting hero Joe Zamudio was over and they cut to commercial, Ed Schultz started screaming in the studio:
“Why didn’t somebody tell me this guy was a freakin’ gun-totin’, First Amendment lovin’, right wing lunatic? You made me look stupid on the air.”
Michael has no arms, but is still a crack shot. He uses his feet to fire a pistol. But why do we have to read about this remarkable American in a British newspaper?
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.

This made us wonder if there were significantly more firearm deaths per capita in Texas than in Oregon. A little Google research gave us the surprising answer.
According to StateHealthFacts.org, Oregon ranks #28 with 10.5 firearm deaths per 100,000. Texas ranks #26 with 11.0 per 100,000. Virtually identical.
We suspect that the difference may be explained by the 0.5 firearm deaths per 100,000 that occur at the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles.
But you can’t really blame a guy for shooting one of those people, can you?
