She seems to struggle with writing coherent sentences and using correct terminology. That said, the mere fact the article was published is amazing.

She needs remedial English composition. That is painful to read.

Very. Good topic, bad implementation.

Ralphie wrote a better essay on why he wanted a Red Ryder BB gun.

All the author’s other articles are equally painful to read.

Great subject, terribly written article. My favorite was "You cannot visit a weapon store to buy a gun without having prior knowledge of what you are buying and what purposes you can use it for, but that is not advisable."
Even a cursory proofreading should have caught the "cannot" when they meant "can".

Imagine being a gun store employee and dealing with a bunch of people like her buying guns every day.
I think I might have been too quick to judge some of them for their attitude in the past.

Freelance articles pay by the word... You are given a topic and then gotta churn it out. This patricular writer is pretty much just doing a plug and play on a template. I didn't bother checking her other work, but I can bet you that there are very similar sounding articles about selecting the proper multimedia tablet or assisted living facility. Hey, at least she isn't blindly spewing liberal talking points.

Stefanie is a local blogger and social media content marketer from Maryland and most recently a wife and a mother. She has an unhealthy obsession with puns, sarcasm and caffeinated beverages.

In other words, she doesn't have a real job and writes stuff on the internet to make extra cash. Not everyone can graduate from a MD high school and understand basic English grammar, because that would be racist.

Internet killed the publishing star... Internet killed the publishing star... without syntax we've gone to far... we need an English Language Tsar

I know the publisher of eye on Annapolis, and imagine he’s trying to expand his reader base by publishing an article like this. As we know the capital is dying and soon to be sold. Perhaps a well crafted letter from MSI to serve as a resource and engage him on firearms/legislation is in order- if anybody would like to pursue this please PM me I’ll be happy to be the carrier pigeon. oh and please don’t judge my grammar and punctuation.

Reading this article made my eyes bleed. WOW it was bad. I expected some poor usage of firearms terminology (and there was), but you're right - even basic English sentences are lacking here.

There's also incoherent stuff like "brownells promo code" shoehorned in that made no sense as part of a sentence, and was clearly only included to game search engines and get a few more clicks on the article.

It also make my eyes twitch a bit to see "A blog says..." when talking about calibers. WHICH blog? No link, no quote, no reference whatsoever.

Clearly no editor proofread this before pushing it live.

She also operates a herd of bots that will click the "like" button on your Facebook post for a nominal fee. (or maybe she just does it manually from a bunch of pseudonym accounts)

Gone too far perhaps? Who killed the spelling star?

Auto correction on phone! It is horrible.

Looks I could have a great career as a writer after all!
