Via Joe Huffman and Weer’d Beard (both of whom link to the individual and writing in question, so I will refrain from doing so), we can find not only another violent, intolerant bigot wrapped in the cloak of “reasonable gun control”, but also, as this quote shows:
We were browsing through the peach aisle when my wife urgently pulled me aside: “Did you see that guy?”
“What guy?” I craned my neck to peek around behind her.
“Don’t look. He might shoot.”
“Whaaaat?!” That really captured my attention. Sure enough, some corpulent 80-year-old a**hole was standing in front of the donut peaches, packing a pistol. Rosewood-checkered grip, tooled-leather holster, the whole bit. Not a law enforcement guy, just some retired jerkoff who evidently wanted to enhance the perceived size of his schlong.
…we also find another prime example of Markley’s Law, which states:
The adage that any Internet discussion regarding firearm owners will eventually mention male genitalia.
In Alan C. Baird’s case, it took him all of a single post to abandon any semblance of reasonable discourse, and degenerate to the point of kindergarten playground tactics. Thank you for proving our points, Alan.
Amusingly, Alan is quite right, just not in the way he thinks – I am compensating… for the fact that my “schlong” cannot be used to beat down anyone who attacks my family or myself, and that my “schlong” cannot project small pieces of metal at hundreds of feet per second. Since Alan is so very concerned with the genitalia of folks who carry arms, maybe he can come up with a solution to those “shortcomings”? On the flip side, I wonder how his bigoted, intolerant mind handles women who carry firearms…?

They usually either deny the existence of women like Breda, Bonnie, Tam, Brigid etc. or they claim that such women are hulking, ugly lumberjacks who wish they had a penis. (although Tam is really tall…)
I’m sure spending a few days with any of those women would make their heads spin, since it simply does not compute.
Also, I would suspect that a man like that is the kind who wouldn’t LET his wife/girlfriend carry because it’d damage his fragile ego.
Heh, they would never voluntarily come face-to-face with those ladies, or females like them – as you say, those women are either fictional characters, created by sex-deprived morons (read: “you and me”); or they are more than sufficient to cause people like Alan to wet their pants and run screaming for the hills.
Actually, the latter, apparently, is more or less accurate.
I am honestly somewhat surprised that his head did not explode when his wife suggested that they buy firearms for one another… I doubt he had ever considered the possibility of those words leaving her mouth.
That’s assuming he’s telling the truth; her being so European and civilized, and all.
He’d have freaked at the lady I saw at the range a couple of weeks back; tall, lovely and deciding to rent both a S&W M&P and a H&K 9mm to decide which to buy.
Well, apparently, the spineless coward and inveterate hypocrite went out and purchased firearms, for both he and his wife, and might have even procured a CCW permit… ’cause, y’know, they are just doing it for their protection, while that EVIL open carrier was just a murderer looking for any and all reasons to perforate everyone around him!
Or something…
I have a sneaking suspicion that Alan lived in a perpetual state of irrational fear before this specific instance… just, now, he has someone to blame (aside from himself, which he will never admit).
[...] On the other hand, Alan Baird claimed, and still claims, to have received not one, but two death threats in response to his vile and violent invective. [...]
