Got Beretta's?
This was in the Buffalo News over the weekend and I guess it is a national column.
Written by a self professed hoplophobic over educated, unapologetic liberal with advanced degrees. (his words not mine) that admits that he hates the Second Amendment. Well at least he is honest about it. (sorta) He is trying to instigate something akin to a denial of service attack and lied on the terms of service to ARMSLIST - Gun Classifieds.

More than that, his column demonstrates what people like Schumer, Obama, Bloomberg etc really think of us, and to me it is just another salvo into the upcoming crisis about the evils of online gun forums and trading sites.

Rather than click the link to the story which is Link Removed
If you do click it do not click his tiny url link.
go to ARMSLIST - Gun Classifieds instead.

Here is his column.
Read it here and don't give them the hit.

Help Gene Weingarten win an AK-47



As you probably know, I am an unapologetic liberal. My name appears on a national liberal registry; when moving into a new neighborhood, I have to go door to door and sheepishly inform people that one of my kind is living in their midst. My point is, it should come as no surprise to you that I dislike the Second Amendment and think it should be repealed as obsolete.(If I may interject, This is the mantra of "progressive's" and the Progressive Caucus. Hillary, Chuckie Schumer, Pelozi, etc.)

When the Second Amendment was written, the majority of Americans needed firearms. Life was rough and tumble. You had to shoot coyotes for meat. You sometimes had to shoot spiders for meat. If Ichabod the wagonmaster called your missis a strumpet, you had to kill him. Plus, you might have to form citizen militias to repel invading British troops, which was not as hard as it sounds because they marched 12 abreast and played drums and fifes to let you know where they were. But, still, it took guns.

Things are different now. Today, most private weapons are owned by a class of rural hobbyists known as “gun enthusiasts,” a term newspapers came up with to avoid saying “paranoiacs in bib overalls.” These are the sort of people who advertise on armslist.com, my favorite Web site in the whole world since yesterday, when I learned that it is giving away an AK-47, with mounted bayonet, to the person who brings the most new traffic to its site.

I want that gun. Please help me get it.

Now, I know what you are thinking. You are thinking: Why would a genuine recidivist liberal want to own a gas-operated assault rifle that fires projectiles engineered to tumble and fragment in flesh, producing maximum tissue damage; a weapon that is the favorite of Mexican drug cartels and international terrorist organizations; the very weapon found in Osama bin Laden’s bedroom? The answer is that if I win, I will have the gun professionally converted into a plowshare, which I will then donate to an Amish village.

But that can’t happen unless you go to the Web site and look around a bit. You’ll see it’s a type of Craigslist for gun enthusiasts, and I think you’ll find it as exciting as I do. Believe me, I say this with all the sincerity of a man who really, really wants to win an AK-47.

Plus, by familiarizing yourself with this site, you will learn not to judge people too harshly: Gun enthusiasts are not without other interests. It’s not all about guns, guns, guns with them. It’s also about blackjacks, “spring-assisted stilettos,” flamethrowers, firearms concealment vests, and, I swear, grenade launchers. One guy in Oklahoma is selling two homemade cannons that fire bowling balls.

Also a great deal of good old American bartering goes on. One man in North Carolina is looking for “a small handgun, something I can slide in my front pocket,” and offers, in return, college-level tutoring in Shakespeare. (Ha. I kid because I love. He’ll cut up your dead deer.)

Actually, one barterer is an artist. He wants to sell his services in return for a concealed weapon. He does tattoos, and links to some samples of his oeuvre, including a drawing of a man with a cigarette up one nostril and a cigar up the other.

Okay, so by now you know what you have to do. To make sure your clicks will be credited to me, you have to enter through this portal — Promotion Contests — which the site administrators made specially for me.

Now, you might be wondering why they’d cooperate with a card-carrying liberal who was going to make fun of them. The answer is that I never told them exactly what kind of column I wrote, and I’m betting they didn’t look it up. They’ll be figuring it out right about now, when they’re getting a whole passel of clicks from Democrats with advanced degrees.

Gee I wonder what would happen if someone wrote this exact column and substituted Gays for Gun Owners.......Hmmmmmmmmm?

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Maybe after he's found a way to make all the criminals turn their guns in he can cure cancer, perfect nuclear fusion, and manage the Cubs to a World Series title!
 
The argument that the 2nd amendment was only added because times were tough in the past and we no longer need it is illogical. If the 2nd amendment is void because of its age, than so its the entire Bill of Rights. So he should shut up because we dont need the 1st amendment anymore because they only needed it back then...

Wish USA Carry had a "like" button!
 
Wonder who he is.

Got to wonder what he signed in as. :unsure:

There were 909 entries and who ever NWR1 is won it.

Just one more loser, I like my bib overalls and my degrees in economics and business, also really like my guns, just tell him to call a cop and wait the average 23 minutes for response while they are robbing him or raping his mom, no skin off my nose.
 
This guy is a ******* joke. Take the time to get to know gun owners and you'll see the majority of us just want to protect ourselves and loved ones. Try infringing on that and....well, i dont even have to say it, we're all on the same page here.
 
The limpwristed, snot nosed, over-educated Mr Wienergarden thinks the 2a was established so they could hunt squirrels in the 18th century. He doesn't even know the real reason for it and has been completely mindf***** by the fascist libs.

Don't forget the "spiders for meat", now these a reason to own a firearm ;)
 
Change 2nd amendment?

I remember being taught in school, many years ago, that the Bill of Rights was so called because these ten amendments could never be changed. I have believed that all these years, but now as I look for where the Constitution says that, I can't find it. And actually, if we have learned anything in the last three decades, we should certainly have understood that even if that is true, those who hate these rights will stop at nothing to take them away. They would throw out the whole constitution if they could, and write one more to their liking. They will infringe the rights they can't change, and they will change (read:destroy)anything we let them change. Stay on your guard; watch and pray! The enemies of freedom, from within and without, never rest. The modern invading hordes of vandals are armed with college degrees instead of axes, and they aren't shy about using them.
 
I like how the author makes multiple false assumptions and slurs. He claims to be highly educated but, besides listing actual classified offerings, offers no facts or sources for his claims. First he insults: “paranoiacs in bib overalls.” He also implies that only "card carrying liberals" hold advanced degrees. With KGB/Deloris Umbridge finesse for spreading misinformation, he and the "Brady-Bunch" claim that the record gun sales aren't indicative of a massive number of new gun owners but rather a few "enthusiasts" gathering enough weapons each to arm a small country. Even if they were using facts rather than propaganda, it is none of their business. Period. And they call us paranoid. It is the height of paranoia to project your fear into others' houses. What would you propose, Send the National Guard on a house to house search, violating our other Constitutional amendments? This paranoid statist is also implying that the world around us is perfectly safe and there is no need to own a gun to protect yourself. What can I say? Pure idiocy. The truth, you over-educated-paranoid-idiot is that the economy sucks, the world economy and political sphere are in turmoil and statists like you are trying, through the tried and true ends-justify-the-means tactics, to violate our right as free men to protect ourselves and our family. You, my friend are a large part of the cause of the proliferation of the guns you so hate.
 
ccwaz - "I remember being taught in school, many years ago, that the Bill of Rights was so called because these ten amendments could never be changed. I have believed that all these years, but now as I look for where the Constitution says that, I can't find it."
I believe you are referring to The Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, ...". Our Rights are truths, given by our Creator, neither to be given by men, nor taken away by men.
I don't recall the Founder that quoted this (probably Thomas Jefferson): "Those who beat their guns into plowshares, shall plow for those that don't". Hope he is successful in trying to beat an AK-47 into an Amish plowshare. He obviously knows nothing about either one.

Really?

Though I lived in a rural area most of my life, I never felt the need to carry a gun in those environs, nor did I wear bib overalls (not that there's anything wrong with that). Now that I live in a major metro area, I NEVER leave home without my CCW. I hear about shootings, rapes, robberies, etc. on the local news every day. Sometimes I wake to the sound of gunshots.

This guy is a tool.

then why not

most male thongs are owned by a class of urban intellectuals knows as "metros" a term newspapers came up with to avoid saying "flaming homos in cheek less overalls"

I mean sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
 
I wouldn't even let him buy one of my AKs if he was going to turn it into a plowshare. Well.....maybe if he offered me a ridiculous amount of money.......I'd consider it! :biggrin:
 
So, this contest ended on December 31st, and he only posted his article on the 29th. The winner was NWR1, although I have no idea if that is or is not him.

(That also means you can safely click his link - it won't do anyone anything, since they use a different referral link each month; clicking that link doesn't even increase his odds of winning one of this month's hats.)
 
I found the article mildly amusing. It actually is in the humor section, I suppose. Of course the statement that the second is obsolete is rather delusional. Maybe the author lives in a town where there never ever is any violence but for those of us that live on planet Earth that isn't exactly so.
