JD Vance Joins Marines for Target Practice – The Side-by-Side with Walz’s Gun Flub Is Pure Gold! (VIDEO)
Vice President JD Vance, a Marine veteran, joined young Marines at Quantico on Wednesday, showcasing his sharpshooting skills while touting the Trump administration’s decision to end racist and sexist DEI policies in the U.S. military—and the contrast with Tim Walz’s infamous gun flub is absolutely golden. In a viral video shared by @WesternLensman on X, Vance is seen laying down fire with a machine gun, while the side-by-side shows Walz, the former VP candidate, awkwardly struggling to load a shotgun during his 2024 campaign—a moment that drew widespread mockery. The difference is night and day: Vance’s precision and confidence versus Walz’s fumbling incompetence.

Vance’s visit wasn’t just about firepower—it was a morale boost for the troops. @MaryMargOlohan captured him firing an M107 sniper rifle, calling it “nothing but American exceptionalism” :

Commenters on X agree: Vance’s natural affinity with the troops, rooted in his Marine service, shines through, a trait he shares with President Trump. As @WesternLensman’s post notes, “We cannot imagine these young Marines being equally excited over a visit from President Harris or Vice President Walz”—a sentiment echoed across the platform.
For Trump supporters, this is a win. Vance’s Quantico visit, proves he’s a leader who connects with our military, unlike Walz and Harris, whose potential White House tenure commenters call a “nightmare.” Web reports from outkick.com confirm Vance’s shooting prowess, while X users cheer, “Vance is a beast—Walz can’t even load a gun!”

I’m shrewd, passionate, learned and energetic, God-fearing and patriotic. I’ve done a fine job reintroducing good old American conservatism to a new generation of Americans. I’ve earned the love and friendship of many, the hatred of some, but the respect of all.
