    LOL has anyone ever even seen a golfball launcher AR15??? That has to be the single worst conclusion ever aired...

    Sorry, man, but you did not hear a gunshot. It would take a small cannon to shoot a golf ball and you would’ve heard a little more than a “gunshot” It’s probably a homemade golf ball cannon made out of PVC pipe. They use a propellant like hairspray or something that ignites quickly. They spray it into the chamber and then using something like a barbecue grill igniter to set it off. They push the button and the vapors ignite and forced the golf ball at a very high rate of speed out of the barrel. There’s not a gun out there that would shoot a golf ball sorry , SMH

    Lying media 🤥 it is not an automatic weapon, it was Blackrock they want to buy the man’s house and he doesn't want to sell 😂
  • So strange that no one interviewed the police or authorities to hear what they have to say. I would consider this "domestic terrorism", "attempted murder" and "elder abuse". Is there a reward for information?

    “AR 15” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 how idiotic

    When I was a kid, we used to launch tennis balls and golf balls with home made cannons fired by lighter fluid, and that was way, way back in the 1970's. Can imagine that today's kids have new and more interesting ways to do same. But an AR15, that was mighty, mighty random... Golf ball launcher, interesting, didn't know there was such a thing.

    I live in Oaks North. It's not a firearm. Why does every news station have to sensationalize and jump to the conclusion it's a firearm that has somehow been converted to fire golf balls? It's more likely a tube with compressed air. When I was a kid in the early 70's ( also here in Oaks North ) my friends and I made "mortar launchers" out of tennis ball cans, lighter fluid and tennis balls. I'm not advocating it, only illustrating that kids are super resourceful in making improvised weapons and we don't need to vilify the legal gun owners *as is the usual practice of news stations today*. I can't even imagine how you'd modify an AR-15 to shoot a golf ball but the news doesn't care, let's just whip people into a terrified frenzy and be sure to drop the term "AR-15" as much as possible so that gun owners take the blame.

    If I were a betting man, I'd bet money that the culprits were local high school punks who live in affluent North Poway I lived there for 15 years, and saw plenty of these types of vandalism shenanigans committed by local punks.

    I broke a shatter proof window playing Rancho Bernardo on the 16th hole cost me $531 dollars.

    So now they just make up things like it being an AR15 golfball launcher? Might have been a bazooka converted to a goofball launcher. Maybe an Abrams tank conversion.
  • @PonkyKong
    Who told you guys to lie about guns for a golf ball story?
  • @phoreal9273
    what kindof fkn question is 'why is this a concern to you?' huh
  • Not a good idea or funny bc you might wind up on trial for murder or attempted murder.
