Watch This Gun Nut Play The Star Spangled Banner With An Automatic Rifle

Musical Targets?sells specially pitched shooting targets that you can use to?translate the sound of automatic machine?gun fire into music.

From Barstool Sports:

That was oddly mesmerizing and pretty awesome. ?What’s the most American thing you can think of? ?Because I’ve been sitting here for 20 minutes trying to figure out something more American than playing the star-spangled banner using a gun and a bunch of musical targets and I’ll be damned if I can’t think of a single thing. ?It’s not possible. ?That’s it. ?That’s the end all and be all of most American things. ?I was ready to run through a brick wall coated in steel after seeing that. ?These colors don’t run. ?I’m not even a big gun buy. ?And by that I mean I don’t have a gun or any interest in owning one. I don’t trust myself with a gun because with my luck I’d do WAYYYYY more harm than good if I had one. ?Oh, an intruder enters my house in the middle of the night? ?I’ll just grab my gun to protect myse?..and I shot my own face off. ?But still, ?Merica.

Ummm….OK. Because there’s nothing more American than guns…

And someone needs to tell that fella that we only put one space after a period, too. Since about 1995.

Clever? Yes. But can we stop and I mean STOP finding all of these cool, cute, and clever uses for guns? They’re for one thing: killing. Let’s not lose sight of that.
