I CALL FICTION ON THIS!

***I worked the action furiously, once, twice, and again, realizing dimly as I did that in doing so I was actually ejecting the shells, unspent,****

Now what type of shotgun does that? On mine, when I jack a round into the chamber, the bolt locks closed until I fire it or press a small button outside the trigger guard to slide the bolt open.

This story is ridiculous. Half my guns are loaded yet not chambered. (on second thought the 23 is probably chambered) That takes about 1 second. Jam a magazine into any of them and pull the action.

This tall-tale is pure fiction.

"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."

Liar liar pants on fire!

His bio was incorrect. Blanchfield is an idiot.

Patrick Blanchfield is apparently a student activist at Emory University.

From a Dec. 8, 2012 article titled “Talks over cuts break down between Emory president, students”

The Emory students that staged a sit-in at an administration building to protest the changes to the Emory College of Arts and Sciences earlier this week were hoping a long negotiation with the University’s president would change things.

It lasted an hour.

Talks between Emory University President Jim Wagner and a handful of students broke down almost immediately.

“I’m extremely disappointed to report that negotiations were highly acrimonious and ultimately fruitless,” student Patrick Blanchfield said Friday evening.

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

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.

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


Lie.

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

Majored in comparative literature? No wonder he can't afford to live in a good neighborhood.
