![<\/a>Screenshot of Gov. Tim Walz struggling loading his Beretta A400 semi-auto shotgun.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nWhen you\u2019re an anti-gun presidential candidate from a party with a platform that is dead set on banning guns, what better way to attempt to sway undecided gun owners than sending your running mate on a pheasant hunt?<\/p>\nThat\u2019s just what Vice President Kamala Harris did, as Tim Walz headed home to chase some Minnesota ringnecks on opening day. However, Walz\u2019s escapades in the field seems to have brought more ridicule than support.<\/p>\nAccording to a Fox News report, Walz invited the press along to get some coverage, but blew the video op by bumbling and fumbling while trying to load his Berretta semi-auto shotgun. The bungled loading video had some on social media questioning whether he\u2019d ever even been pheasant hunting before.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTim Walz claimed he carried \u201cweapons of war in combat\u201d but he can\u2019t load a shotgun? This guy is beyond weak. My little sister could beat him up. Ya gotta watch this\ud83d\udc47 pic.twitter.com\/nd7CneGWBI<\/a><\/p>\n\u2014 John Rich\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@johnrich) October 12, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/div>\n<\/figure>\nConservative commentator and avid shooter John Cardillo was one who said Walz\u2019s performance looked like it was the first time he ever loaded a shotgun<\/p>\n\u201cTim Walz claims that he\u2019s a lifelong bird hunter, but this clearly proves he has no idea how to load or charge a semi-automatic shotgun,\u201d Cardillo said. \u201cI shoot A LOT of sporting clays with both semi-autos but mostly over-unders. He\u2019s a first timer right here.\u201d<\/p>\nSinger John Rich was perhaps the hardest on Walz, making a hilarious social media post highlighting the wannabe vice president\u2019s weakness.<\/p>\n\u201cTim Walz claimed he carried \u2018weapons of war in combat\u2019 but he can\u2019t load a shotgun?\u201d Rich posted. \u201cThis guy is beyond weak. My little sister could beat him up. Ya gotta watch this.\u201d<\/p>\nOf course, ridicule was not what the Harris campaign was looking for when Walz invited the media along for his hunt. Harris specifically chose Walz as her running mate because he was supposedly a combat veteran and hunter, hoping to pull some of the right-leaning undecided vote, especially in the critical so-called \u201cRust Belt\u201d states.<\/p>\nWalz\u2019s combat veteran status was later proven to be stolen valor, as records showed he never served in combat. Now, his hunting and gun owner credentials are being questioned after the Minnesota pheasant hunting debacle.<\/p>\nAfter watching the video, conservative commentator Jason Robertson posted that maybe it was better that Walz never was in a war zone after all.<\/p>\n\u201cAfter Watching Tim Walz trying to handle a shotgun, I officially retract any criticism from him avoiding combat zones,\u201d Robertson said. \u201cHe is a HERO.\u00a0He is so bad with a weapon that he saved American Lives skipping the War Zone.\u201d<\/p>\nWalz can pose as a veteran, a pheasant hunter or whatever he wants and he still can\u2019t cover up his lousy record on guns and gun ownership. And just because he went pheasant hunting doesn\u2019t make the Harris\/Walz ticket any more pro-gun than their past combined records prove.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n](\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Tim-Walz-loading-a-shotgun.jpg\"){kind=link}
