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.
Please oh please send a repeal of the 2nd Amendment to the states for ratification! This would galvanize the opposition, and may indeed hasten the splitting of the Union so we need not put up with these pantywaits any longer.
Warren, it’s a good thing you are not King, because you are an idiot.
Who is "We" partner?
You got a frog in your pocket?
How many divisions does bloomerfeldt control?
Zero!
I can see Trump’s campaign sending this guy a thank you card.
“It’s because of bull sh!t like this that I’m so far ahead in the polls. Thanks for your contribution!”
I say first let’s repeal the First Amendment rights of journalist advocating the repeal of law abiding American Citizens Second Amendment rights. Let’s see how they like someone shoving the brown end of the stick at them.
Hey, at least he’s honest.
Most lib’s, when you object to gun control, say “nobody has ever proposed taking your guns”. Well B.S. but they do a great job denying it.
Heck it’s not just guns it’s their entire agenda that they try to hide. Maybe they will become bold enough to articulate exactly how they want to destroy the U.S.
“Fundamentally change” my ass.
The Second Amendment is a legal guarantee of a God-given individual right. Anyone who opposes the Second Amendment opposes freedom. There are several old quotes that are relevant:
“Thus always to tyrants.”
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
Do these liberal sissies really want to go there? Have they really learned so little from the civil wars in Bosnia and in Syria? I would prefer both freedom and peace, but I will not choose peace over freedom.
“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
Is blooming fool Jewish? If so, he has forgotten what happens to a defenseless people.
Wonder if they feel same about 19th /s
Blumenfelds judgment is questionable
Only when it works in their favor. When it doesn’t they want to abolish it. They’re hypocrites.
This nation made the Louisiana Purchase from France maybe PM Hollande would consider a real estate deal for Devils Island .
