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 Gene Weingarten: Our columnist wants to win an AK-47 - The Washington Post
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 My point is, it should come as no surprise to you that I dislike the Second Amendment and think it should be repealed as obsolete.(If I may interject, This is the mantra of "progressive's" and the Progressive Caucus.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?

Guns - the alternative to running for your life.
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...
Got to wonder what he signed in as.
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.
