Part two of "Heidi Carries A Gun", the series that began on the Ms. Magazine blog a few weeks ago.

I tagged it humor, because it is, may places, kind of funny. Maybe not "ha ha" funny, but "shake your head in dismay" funny.

It's all about Heidi's fears and anxieties, and about how all this makes her feeeel. There's very little of it that I believe actually happened.

It could've been an interesting article but for several issues:

1) She was intent on slapping idiotic Brady Campaign stats lies all throughout.

2) She never acknowledged that she should get more training, whether it was mandated by Big Brother or not.

3) She never had the epiphany that maybe some people just shouldn't be armed and that she's obviously one of them. While she does reference the responsibility of carrying a gun, she seems to stop at "I can't handle it, therefore no one else can either."

4) And the most egregious error on her part: equating not thinking about a threat as being the same as that threat no longer existing. Such a basic, basic fallacy in thought, and she let it right on out.

Her premise is that the ease with which any non-felon can get a gun is a danger yet all this bimbo has managed to prove is that a stupid, reckless, nuerotic can carry around a loaded gun for 30 days with no ill effects. I might take her arguement more seriously if her kid had killed himself or if she murdered some one.

This woman should just shoot herself and put us all out of misery. If she could even figure that out.

Her sheer stupidity is a danger to her and her family, with or without a gun.

Suspiciousness and fear of people is new to me, and I don’t like it.

Heidi has developed the slightest degree of situational awareness, and I have a feeling she will have some lingering suspicions and fear, and now have to deal with the fact she will be a victim, unarmed and defenseless.

Heidi, you suffer from Hoplophobia and you really should seek professional help.

The obvious parody of this is “My month as a liberal”, showing the utter dysfunction of the liberal “lifestyle.”

However, living a month in jail would probably be more enjoyable. All the hatred of others might give you ulcers. Your bad behavior would be a shame to your family. Learning to be a racist and sexist would be revolting. Despising liberty and freedom for others is despairing. And then there is a bitter hatred of God, religion, faith, honor, fairness, freedom, etc.

It is easy to understand why they embrace euthanasia.

Why don’t your teen boys already know how to shoot and know gun safety?

So I decided to keep the gun in a locked safe when I was home. But that didn't seem to soften my worry and overall anxiousness.

She should remain worried and anxious! Guns are notorious for escaping safes, but sometimes they just shoot their way out, by firing at the same spot until the metal becomes red-hot and pliable.

Guns are extraordinarily dangerous, and no mere safe can stop them!
