"I got my opportunity to play hero. Not in fantasy, but in real life, the chance to flex my finger with three pounds of pressure and shoot another human being dead in my driveway because he wanted to steal my TV."

Did he get your tv or girlfriend? No.

Let's see how well you do on the next break in. Perhaps we can post your name and address online and tell everyone how you no longer own a firearm.

Wow....what a little bitch...

"Right after we moved, I sold all my guns. I never wanted to put myself in that position again."

Although I doubt it, this could be a new type of boating accident.

I’ve owned a dozen guns over the years, including a Bushmaster AR-15, and have fired scores more. I’ve put in countless hours at the range, in the woods, and at gun shows.

Yet he was unable to competently load his weapon. He's either a liar or an incompetent coward.

Possibly both.

[SIDENET]

I’ve owned a dozen guns over the years, including a Bushmaster AR-15,

Yes, dear. Of course you did.

Lying ass.

[Gene Eric]

What a douche bag.

[vbmoneyspender]

The next moment I was in the bathroom, vomiting hot puke all over the floor and toilet, water from the bowl splashing my face and eyes.

What a pussy.

Liar liar pants on fire!

“... a Ph.D. candidate and Woodruff Scholar in comparative literature...”

Worthless, useless, moron POS idiot. Stay away from firearms, a-hole.

[ogen hal]

His bio was incorrect. Blanchfield is an idiot.

[sport]

It is probably just as well that he did. It is apparent that he does not have the intelligence to own a gun in the first place.

I copied this right off of his CV at Emory:

• Contract Writer and Editor for George Soros’ Open Society Institute (OSI) Network Debate
Program (NDP). Produced press releases, standards documents, and topic papers. On-site work
in the Balkans, Turkey, and Estonia (June 2004 – August 2005).

Nuff Said

[Age of Reason]

If the writet thinks he’s too wimpy to own a gun (he vomited?), that’s his problem. He should not project his wimpiness onto the rest of us.

[Rides_A_Red_Horse]

Only in fantasy does keeping a gun in the home make you safer; the statistical reality is just the opposite.

Lie.

[windsorknot]

He also threw away his toilet paper because he lacks the skills to wipe.

[Blue Collar Christian]

Fiction piece. The biggest wuss in the world isn’t that wussy.

Liar.

Thanks for a really funny story. The guy's account sounds like it's pulled from a Hollywood movie, along with the fear-induced nausea coupled with copious barfing.

I'm been on the receiving end of an attempted home invasion. I shouted at him and prepared to fillet him with a chef's knife if he got through the door. I felt zero nausea before, during or after the incident. The guy had a loaded shotgun in hand. He's either a drama queen or has the nerves of a mouse.

Enough is enough. In 2008, Japan, which maintains strict gun regulations, saw 11 gun homicides; in that same year, America had over 12,000.

Venezuela (see other FR thread) has strict gun control, and they have a very high rate of murders; Mexico ditto, and look at them!

Japan is a stratified society in which the peasants were beaten down so hard, so long, that they've never formed a conception of "up".
