Dingus with a gun disarmed

Charles sends us a link to the New York Times “The Gun Report” which recounts the discussion between dingus Heidi Yewman, who we discussed last week, and her editor, Michele Kort at Ms. Magazine, because “gun blogs” had discovered her series of articles about how she was an untrained gun owner and endangering everyone within at least 25 yards of her;

What was Kort’s solution to this dilemma? Incredibly, it was to kill the rest of Yewman’s series. “I don’t think I should post the next two installments of this—they’ll only fire up the troops again, and we’re just not equipped to handle this on our blog,” Kort wrote. When I reached out to Kort, suggesting that Ms. had allowed itself to be censored by Second Amendment absolutists, she would not respond on the record. Suffice it to say that Ms. disagrees with this assessment. But I don’t see how you could view it in any other way. Ms. published something the N.R.A.-types didn’t like; they responded by bullying Ms. online, and Ms. folded.

N.R.A. 1, Ms. Magazine, 0. Here is today’s report.

Um, yeah, no, the NRA didn’t defeat Ms. Yewman or her magazine – common sense beat her. All of us who are in the least bit controversial and incite enemies has had our addresses posted on the internet – that’s why some of us have guns and CCW permits. It hasn’t affected us or our public opinions in the least. The point remains, and the NRA has always said, that gun owners need to be responsible and learn how to use the tool with which they’ve chosen to defend themselves.

Ms. Yewman was a huge threat to her community. I, for one, feel safer knowing that she gave up the the idiot point that she was trying to make. No one I know has ever bought a gun without knowing how to load it or fire it effectively. Yewman thought that by becoming her perception of the stereotypical brainless gun owner that she was making a legitimate point, when if fact, she was making our point – gun owners need to be responsible or go home. If the NRA won anything, and if the NRA had anything to do with Ms. canceling the series, they got one careless gun owner off the streets with her gun.

By the way, the NRA didn’t send me the article and demand that I make it the Big Issue last week, one of my readers sent the article, like they send everything I write about here. So suck it, New York Times.
