Calling the right to bear arms obsolete, Huffington Post writer Warren Blumenfeld is now demanding that the United States "repeal the Second Amendment now!"
In his article "On Gun Violence: Uttering the Unutterable," Blumenfeld writes that he has to deliver hard truths.
"I love life, and I love the people of my country far far far more than I value the "freedom" to bear arms," he begins his article. "We must repeal the Second Amendment now!"
The Amendment is antiquated, according to Blumenfeld, who compares the amendment to the horse and buggy: "Possibly during former moments in our history, we may have had reason to enact and enforce the Second Amendment of our great Constitution, but those bygone days have long since passed. Now we must put the Second Amendment out to pasture."
The Founding Fathers, even if they intended for people to have legal access to guns, made many mistakes that show their judgement was questionable at best, he adds.
"These are the same men who owned and marketed enslaved Africans," Blumenfeld argues, "committed genocide against and expelled native peoples, withheld enfranchisement from women, engaged in and killed one another in duels, and so on."
And letting people own guns in the US hurts "everyone everywhere" except our enemies: "In the end, the realities of gun violence in the U.S. hurts everyone everywhere, with the possible exception of our enemies who desire to witness us defeated from within."
"When is enough, enough?!" Blumenfeld concludes.
Just wait til they accept the fact that Article V is inevitable...this will not end well.
Baffin Island Canada— with no internet.
the right of self defense is a perfect right
They have no idea.....
Understand that...MORON!
I wonder if Warren Blumenfeld would support disarming the Israeli civilian population, and opening their borders to illegal aliens. My guess, probably not.
‘’You cannot repeal an inalienable right. Unless of course you are not from this planet.’’

Awesome sauce! Don’t ya just love it?!!!
We must prosecute Huff Po editor for treason...now!
Back in the day when I was on the Internet training wheels of AOL (current Huffpost people).
They had these “rooms” for discussion and when a new person joined the conversation/room their entry would be announced.
Announced as, “so and so (the users handle)” has entered the room.
I changed my handle to “A man with a Gun”.
Exactly!
Here is my answer: http://journal.ijreview.com/2015/07/245635-gun-rights-advocates-have-a-devastating-new-argument-against-gun-control-here-it-is/
We must repeal their first amendment rights NOW!
Actually, I think they do! They want to remove any protection for contrary opinions!
Well, they’ve already done so much damage to the 1st Amendment that it must be time to move on to the 2nd.
GO FOR IT!!!
In fact, spend ALL your money and time trying to get that passed!
Please!
Guess Warren Blumenfeld was sleeping in class the day they talked about the Natural Rights of Man...
