Last year, Bob Buckhorn stood on a Navy warfare boat and fired blanks from a .50-caliber machine gun as a crowd watched. The Tampa mayor was just rescued from his mock captors as part of a military demonstration in Florida.
At this years Special Operations Forces Industry Conference, Buckhorn talked about that experience and joked about pointing the machine gun at reporters at the 2016 event.
Ive never seen grown men cry like little girls, for when that gun goes off those media folks just hit the deck like no ones business, Buckhorn said in his opening remarks Tuesday, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Its great payback. I love it.

like perfectly reasonable response.
