I'm curious to see if there is a second installment. The nice part about HuffPo's picking this up is that it'll get a much larger and more diverse audience. One could hardly pick a better poster child to demonstrate that a lot of antis have no clue whatsoever about guns.

Most of the comments on her piece are spot on, and will do far more to educate non-gun folks in that venue than they would at Ms.
 
It's been much longer than a week since her last installment. Really waiting for this. This is like the saturday morning cartoons they'd always leave on cliffhangers!

I'm guessing she either gave up or in fact the entire story was a ruse and there was no gun purchase.

I believe she wrote in the first installment that no class was required. That was part of her implied complaint about how easy everything involved in getting the permit and buying the gun was. No training is required in Washington: http://www.dol.wa.gov/business/firearms/faconcealreq.html

There are many things that I'd like to say about Ms. Yewman but I will refrain for the sake of remaining civil and polite. I will however think them very loudly.

Being ignorant is one thing, it is IMHO our responsibility as human beings to seek out knowledge to enlighten and educate ourselves when we do not understand something, especially when it involves a tool that has deadly capabilites.

Being willfully ignorant however is outrageous and darn near criminal IMO in this case (most likely this applies to other situations as well).

I'm just glad that many spoke up and called her out on her idiocy.
 
In the interview she says she divested herself of the gun, having given it to a friend whom she says had it melted down "so it can't be used in a crime." Oy, vey.
 
In her "post-gun" interview, I especially liked the part where she said that having a gun made her more aware of all the bad things that could happen and of the need to be prepared for them... so she was more fearful, which was another reason to get rid of the gun. How rational.
 
I lost interest in both her and the interviewer in fairly short order. The takeaway is simple enough without watching it.

Someone desperate for attention and publicity engineered a "controversial" stunt to get her attention and publicity. She got a few attaboys from the peanut gallery. Then the general population pointed out how irresponsible and misguided her actions were, and she retreated from public view. She did the whole James Brown cape-over-the-shoulder sulk and claimed she'd been trolled and bullied, while never providing any proof of that.

Essentially, Yewman proved absolutely nothing to anybody in a magazine with a readership of 11 people, and this will soon be forgotten.
 
How many times did she say "I didn’t have to think (anymore)"?

So true. Her head is deeply buried in... the sand.

On a side note...
I bounced through a few interviews & articles on that Huffington Post... omg... how the hell did that unbelievably disgusting excuse for a "news" outlet get started and funded???
Talk about leading a interview, they couldn’t have done it better if they had a script in front of their faces.
 
The phrase ‘arrogantly, willfully, ignorant’ comes to mind.

Thanks for posting the link to the interview. I was wondering how it came out.

Follow up:
I hope they went through an FFL so that he had a background check done...

Folks, if we want to discuss the issues raised by Ms. Yewman's piece or her actions, that's one thing. Let's skip the personal attacks.
 
Tom, we've discussed her actions and issues to ad nauseum.
Personal (likely accurate) blizblaz is about all thats left.

Six pages later there is not much meat left here on her anti-bones... but I'd suggest leaving it open to see how goofy the Huffington option gets.
