"A Modest Proposal" from a Violently Deranged Journalist
Normally I would say that this is satire. However the author makes it pretty clear that his calls for violence against gun owners and the leadership of the NRA are from years of pent up frustration and come from a place of anger.

I've seen a lot of things lately but this is absolutely wildly crazy. Thanks for posting this! I for one want to know just how rabid some of the anti gun crowd is getting.

Actually, we should probably thank Mr. Kaul for providing us with such a graphic illustration of why we have and need the Second Amendment. With a disarmed populace, it would be much easier for would-be tyrants like Mr. Kaul to inflict their malice on those who dare to disagree with them.

The building of his mind has been razed, and the soil of his thoughts salted.
I fear there is little hope of saving the likes of this. |

One of the many things that strike me as odd is the note about the communists. Communists throughout the world have killed hundreds of millions of people in the name of communism. Saying that they are innocent and that the NRA is guilty of something is an interesting lie.

Thanks for posting this.
I ASSUMED the article would be from some nobody's blog. It's from the "Des Moines Register - A Gannett Company". Says so right up top of the web page. IIRC it was a Gannett Company that recently posted the addresses and a map showing where gun owners lived. He says he's spoken up for gun control in the past after a tragedy... Quote:

I know if I did not have any guns and loons were openly speaking about dragging political opponents behind pick-up trucks in a regional newspaper, I'd sure as hell get some......

Just remember, guys, . . . if it ever does become a meeting on the tarmac between the gunners and the anti gun crowd, . . . what are they going to do?
Throw spit balls? Lay down in the floor and have a tantrum? Ahhh, . . . forgot, . . . yeah, . . . they'll go home and tell your mom that you didn't play fair. May God bless, Dwight

Dwight,
Nah - they're all just like this gutless dirtbag that hides behind the first amendment.... They expect someone else to do the dirty work for them. Quote:
I'd be willing to compromise on the point though and let him (Kaul) label my .30/30 Winchester as one if it made him feel better. Only on one condition though.... He shows up in person to pry it from my hands. I'll have his sorry butt arrested in a heartbeat. I'm even willing to wait until he gets out of prison for making threats to kill two elected officials.

Coming from a "journalist", I'd write it off as satire. If it came from a politician who has a vote in such matters, it should be dealt in a more serious way. Kaul has been doing "shock commentaries" for years, just to stir reaction and get attention for his meaningless dribble. While he is factually illiterate and historically incorrect, this is part of his journalistic style. It says all you need to know about this mans mental midget thought process. Working for the Des Moines Register is proof he surrounds himself with small minds.

It might get *my* name on a list somewhere for reporting it.

Satire is one thing - he's way over that line.
He does show exactly which side of the gun debate is the violent one though that's for sure. |

Maybe he should really look at his options where his mindset is more welcome. No reason for him to be an American if accepting basic American principals pains him so much.
There are other countries. Has he researched finding a new home in China, North Korea or possibly Iran where maybe his ideology would be a better fit? There is really no reason he has to stay as it pains him so. In America, we pride ourselves on dumping the overly taxed tea ship and taking control of our country with our own guns and using our creativity to adapt our warfare to beat the better numbers of the English. |

I see terroristic threats against elected officials.
Maybe some men with guns in uniform should go arrest the journalist? This is proof that there should be a waiting period and a license issued before exercising one's First Amendment rights. |

Just be sure to keep this and all of the other leftist gun grabbing articles as proof of who the violent people really are. They constantly call for and say gun owners should be killed. If nothing happens to him for saying he would kill congressmen because he's in the "media" can I create a blog and be protected like him if I called for McCarthy and Feinstein to be dragged behind a pickup truck until they see the light?

Oh wait...YOU CAN! Because obviously the 1st Amendment DOES cover you. (What an idiotic thought, that the 1st Amendment would not apply to modern communications...whatever was I thinking.) Well, it covers you from 'prior restraint'. That is, you can publish whatever you want but you have to take the consequences for it. |
