About 10 days ago, Missouri’s Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, Lucas Kunce, went to a “range” to do “sum shootin’.” Tagging along to give him some street cred was everyone’s favorite laughingstock, former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL). The range is, at best, a backyard backwater and clearly not fit for rifles.

The geniuses in the group, all cosplaying as if they knew what they were doing, loaded up their long rifles and put scopes on the rifles to shoot targets. Not paper — they set up steel targets at a distance that you could throw a cornhole bag and hit 10 out of 10 times.  

For good measure, Kunce and his team left Tannerite on the tables. And why not? A little adventure for the group. Just in case a ricochet blew everyone up like a spastic suicide bomber — there would be photos to prove they weren’t always pink mist. Maybe Kunce could have put in for a purple heart. Tannerite is dangerous at a distance. It’s really dangerous next to your manhood.

The photos are legend. Adam Kinzinger, aka “The Lone Deranger,” standing tall, sighting down the target with his scoped AR. He has his crosshairs on the steel plates. Kaboom! 

Kunce lined up his target, likely ranging it at… 9 feet, and…KABOOM! Oops — he shot a reporter. The scene quickly devolved from there. “Medic!” The reporter was bandaged, and the group took a photo to remember the day, including a guy under criminal investigation.

Kunce said it was a great day at the range. Then Kunce got raked like an autumn pile of leaves. He was eviscerated on X/Twitter by anyone and everyone. One of my favorites.

My buddy Sister Toldjah dropped the hammer on Kunce.  

Most polling in the race between Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and his Democrat opponent, Lucas Kunce, has shown Hawley firmly in the lead. But a couple of them have put Kunce to within shouting distance of Hawley, so one would think with that in mind (and with two weeks to go) that he’d be a little smarter, wiser in his choice of campaign gatherings and who he has tagging along with him. 

So what to do? Well, if you’re behind in the polls and sinking like a rock, you sit for interviews. You try your best to explain away that day. Kunce shot a reporter, but it was a “good day” at the range. It wasn’t  Kunce’s fault, you see; it was arranged and set up by an NRA instructor.  

Here is the video. It’s not long. It is well worth not one but two watches. Watch Kunce try his best to justify how his campaign took a ricochet to the jugular.

Kunce has touted himself as a grizzled Marine veteran. He knows stuff. He’s roughneck. A Devil Dog. He knows guns. Sure, bro, blame the NRA guy for this fiasco. 

Mr. Kunce, you claim you know guns and gun safety, but that “range” was a disaster waiting to happen. And it turns out, it was a disaster.  

I do have good news. Kunce won’t be criminally changed. Maybe the prosecutor decided he’s already enough by being shown to be a fool. So he won’t be going to jail — and he won’t be going to Congress. 

The only “gun-free” zone that I would support is anything within 100 yards of Lucas Kunce.
