Jeez.

1. Did Frank Bruni remember to get his testicles out of the freezer before he went hunting? 'Cause that's apparently where he keeps them.

2. "Hi, I'm Joe Nocera. I'm just know I wouldn't be capable of defending myself in a bad situation. And since I can't stand the idea that someone might be less of a wuss than I am I believe everyone should be wussified by law. It just makes me feel more comfortable. And isn't that what life's all about? My comfort?"

His description of his worries are exactly what any first time hunter is nervous about, in fact experienced hunters as well. This is what leads to good gun safety practices.

It’s a good illustration of modern liberal sensibilities. They want to be delivered from all responsibility for their actions.

But they support countless high risk and harmful liberal practices. Abortion, drug use, illegals everywhere, poor education and thus poor life skills, single motherhood, weak national defense, stupid presidents. The list goes on.

Yeah, hunting is an unfair sport. It’s much more fair down at the slaughter house.

So the NYT writers (one should not call them journalists) are metrosexuals. Who’d a thunk it?

They should just go buy their meat at the grocery store where no animals were harmed making it...

My, how things have changed. The Washington Post employed a full time outdoor writer during the 1970s-1990s who actually did outdoor things. He hunted and shot real loads. I know because I hunted with him on many occasions. He even put sharp hooks in fish mouths and the paper never apologized about it.

In recent years I have seen shotguns misidentified as rifles in many Magazine and Newspaper articles. If the media can’t get it right, it probably means they don’t want to get it right. They seem to have decided which teams’ jersey they want to wear.

The time has come, I think, to stop trying to reason with these people. It is a pointless exercise to a question that really isn’t the real motive here.

Is it any wonder that we have an exceptional harvest of gun-related injuries and deaths, many accidental?"

How many accidents are there compared to the number of young minorities shooting other young minorities on purpose?

Seems to me, if you examine this logically, that the most effect could be achieved by outlawing minority possession of firearms.
Wouldn't support it, but I'm just going with their logic.

Why does a “peace officer” who has a readily seen badge, police unit patch, etc. need to be wearing (improperly, I’d add) a balaclava?

Two New York Times columnists embarrassed themselves over the weekend, betraying anti-gun ignorance in the paper's Sunday Review.

They're New Yorkers. They're incapable of being embarassed by ignorance of firearms. 90% of their readers are even more ignorant than they are, and are proud of their ignorance about firearms. It is NOT a coincidence that NY is one of the most anti-gun anti-freedom states in the country. New Yorkers WANT it that way. The problem with NY isn't Schumer, Mccarthy and the rest ot eh NY congressional delegation. The problem is the people who elect them.

yeah my dad said something about some weird study that in war a bunch of the soldiers were “found” to have shot above the heads of the opposition rather than at them “because there is something in the human makeup that doesn’t want to kill another human.” I just listened to his claptrap, he is over 80, it wasn’t going to work if I tried to tell him the human desire to live is greater than the human desire to not kill another human, esp one who is trying to kill you. These liberals twist the truth to suit themselves.

Oh then he said they were “getting mowed down by the artillery” and I had to turn away so he wouldn’t see me roll my eyes.

“I was haunted by this and by the fact that although I was a first-timer, I needed no background check, no training, no proof of any dexterity to hold this shotgun and squeeze its trigger, “

I am haunted by the fact that this loon, with no background check, no training, no I.Q. test, no demonstration of the slightest knowledge of American history, can cast a ballot in an election or masquerade as a news columnist.

Frankly, I think this is another “madeup” story. Doesn’t have the smell of an actual experience. Contains all the liberal so-called arguments/points.
