Such articles prove it isn’t about homicidal rampages. It’s about getting the bulk of private owned guns out of homes.

Meanwhile would he girlfriend have been writing an op ed this weekend if her boyfriend had been killed by that home invader?

Patrick Blanchfield is now unarmed and brags about it.

Future Darwin candidate?

Overeducated, unprepared, feminized metrosexual weenie.

Every gun I own is loaded all the time; even when I had small children in the house. Every firearm loaded and a firearm in every room. My children's lives depended on it.

This fruitcake doesn't deserve a firearm, a "girlfriend" or anything else. This is the sort I will not defend when SHTF.

THE UNITED STATES IS NOT JAPAN. I really hate when morons like this throw out statistics from a country in which there is a huge difference between that culture and the American culture and equates them as being the same.<pP

I also hate when these liberal idiots demonize firearms by way of a statistic (34 gun homocides per day) without a thorough breakdown of that statistic (as in how many of those deaths were thug-on-thug?), or without a comparison to other causes of death (such as 196,000 deaths per year due to surgeries or medical practices gone bad). There are an average of 88 deaths per day due to traffic fatalities, yet I don’t hear idiots like this demanding private ownership of automobiles be banned.

Yep. This is an invented story of a liberal making a pathetic case for gun control.

"America should give up its right to defend itself because I'm a sissy."

This story just doesn't have the ring of truth! He peed his pants and dropped his ammo...this man worm has NEVER handled a weapon.

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

Funny, when I hear a loud noise at the back door (usu. the damn cats or a coon again), I never have any trouble getting to cocked-and-unlocked with my .380 ... what's his problem? Repeatedly racking his shotgun? -- what kind of numnutz does that?

Good for him. I hope every commie bastard out there gives up his firearms.

I hope his girlfriend found a real man. I know 12-year-old girls with more balls.

Patrick Blanchfield is apparently a student activist at Emory University.

Oh, now it comes out some more! Sounds like our boy wants a Ph.D. in "bullsh!tter" too.

Wonder if we've got ourselves another Sandra Fluke here.

Since now he does not have a gun, he will just puke on the robber. Perhaps that he can operate correctly.

Oh, hell -- the guy is a professional contract liar for Soros.

Well, that explains a lot.

I couldn’t make out his face or tell if he was armed. 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. Later, my girlfriend told me I had made her feel safe, protected. I just felt ill.

When my wife tells me I make her feel protected I don't barf... instead, I see that as an opportunity for her to show her appreciation.

This patrick is a fraud and doesn’t deserve to own
a gun or a girl friend.

I guess Patrick would have prefered to run the burglar
off with nothing but a baseball bat and stark naked too.
That happened to me now I always have a firearm, cocked
locked and ready to go.

Not smart enough to own a firearm if he can’t even operate a pump shotgun in the dark correctly.

"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."

I will never forget one day several years ago, Walter Williams was guest-hosting for Limbaugh. A caller asked if he would really shoot and kill somebody for stealing his big-screen TV. Walter said "No, I have insurance to recover the loss of the TV; I would shoot them for violating the sanctity of my home".

There is little more repugnant to me than these lengthy, convoluted, sermons designed to rationalize, normalize, and proselytize the retreat of a coward.

Wow. If this crap is true, I hope girlfriend has exchanged this one for a real man. Dude’s walking ‘round with a shriveled, empty sac there.

Or got her own gun to compensate...

Absolute fiction. Really painful to hear the ‘I always had guns and used them, but now I know different’.

Like the lifelong Republican that voted for Gore, Kerry, and Hussein in the last elections.

“Remington 870’s work as he described”

If they’re broken. Own two of them, you must press the bolt release if you do not pull the trigger after cycling the action.
