Is This The Most Ignorant Gun Control Op-Ed in American History?
Bearing Arms ^ | Sept 25, 2014 | Bob Owens

Posted on 09/26/2014 10:26:12 AM PDT by GeronL

I have to thank Sean Sorrentino of An NC Gun Blog* for pointing out this opinion article from one Kasie Strickland in the Pickens, SC Sentinel.

Typically, we do not re-post entire editorials from other media organizations, but I have a real concern that if we don’t post the entire article today that it may very well be deleted out of embarrassment tomorrow.

As you read, this, please keep in mind that this person not only votes, but that someone in a higher editorial position thought that this opinion was worth sharing.

I am not sure if it would violate the copyright to put her stupidity on FR so here is a link to the original... which has not yet been removed... if it has later just click the link to the blog at the top. They reposted it in full.

George H. W. Bush was President in 1993?

“It seems to me that while some people are so adamant about their Second Amendment rights, they’ve forgotten all about my First Amendment ones — specifically my right to life.”

It’s too much like shooting fish in a bar....oh, never mind!

>> Poor thing... from the comments, it seems that no one agrees with her! :-)

Here is my favorite comment:

“You would have to, in effect, erase the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights to the United States Constitution. The one in fact that ends with “shall not be infringed”. So, good luck with that. In the meanwhile, enjoy that drama club at your local hoplophobia support group meeting, and Molon Labe...

Help stamp out hoplophobia in our lifetime. It turns people into fools and ruins lives. It is a crippling and pernicious mental disease. Let’s all work to find a cure.”

Yes, the stupid really shows up with this one... and some newspaper editor PUBLISHED this!

I remember when newspapers would email me back pointing out a factual error in my letter to the editor and now they PUBLISH columns like this.

Too easy. Just too damn easy. Someone who can't get either the First Amendment or the results of the 1992 Presidential election right should probably refrain from proclaiming it in public. Embarrassing.

You don't need an AR-15 to shoot a deer.

Of course not, if you happen to already own a 30-06, a .243, a 7mm, a .300 Winchester Magnum...one can avoid this sort of controversy simply by buying more guns. I promise not to use my AR for deer hunting. For hunting liberals, though...

The young generations, beyond X, are 1) quite comfortable with huge govt. intrusion into life, both technical (internet) and personal (the Rights given to us by God are NOT our Rights- they are just something dreamed up).

As such they are comfortable with the police state of the Left.
Lest we forget, it was the youth of the Hitler rise to power who propelled the “turn in your parents” on ideology differences. Short step to the camps.
And gun control directed first at all Jews.

Quite comfortable, are the Occupy generation, with all of these communal ideas.

Especially that the Constitution is a optional instrument- grudgingly admitting that an Amendment is needed to change it, but it’s OK to ignore the law, as our prez is doing.

Yes, and the First Amendment guarantees her right to life. I wonder if you put your ear next to hers if you can hear the ocean...

How does someone that stupid live? She obviously remembers to eat, but how does she remember to breath?
