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.
Tell the gay Bob to make sure he lands on a rooftop, because it'll save the jihadis time...
I think that 2A repeal is a solid issue for Democrats, Democratic Socialists, and their progressive and communist allies to rally around.
They have already taken off the mask ... now let them plainly announce their agenda.
Good thinking!
Wow. Only I am betting that they regret that decision.
Syria.......................
Then they should change their name to Pravda.
Ah, an aging queen. Of course.
Touch it at your own peril. This is AMERICA damn it!
It's an inherent natural right. We will repeal you first.
The second ammendment is settled law
Blumenfeld invited to Department of Education event to improve LGBT climate
AMES, Iowa — Through his work on two national studies, Warren Blumenfeld helped identify how lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) students are significantly harassed — both on their college campuses and online through cyberbullying. And now he’ll get a chance to contribute ideas on how best to improve that condition across the country.

“Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind”
Actually, it’s never been more relevant.
Get started on that. Your great-great-great-grandchildren might live to see the day. But by then we’ll be hunting with particle beam weapons anyway.
Cant repeal it.
Law of the land.
If they try they will find out why the Founders made it the 2nd amendment.
Did you get any notable responses?
I wonder if Democrats, Liberals, Progressives, and other Socialist realize that repealing the Second Amendment does not deter the citizens' right to bear arms.
Repealing the peoples' protection from government interference is just the first step of a five-step endeavor. Four steps remaining.
Hey, Warren Blumenfeld, pack up your *hit and get the hell out of my country if you don’t like our Second Amendment, your worthless left-wing pile of feces!
Thanks for posting his pic. No surprise there. Pathetic.
How about to a nice safe country where people are not allowed to own guns; like Rwanda, Haiti, or Cuba.
Did they ban you from the room?
After all, it was their “SAFE SPACE” was it not?
