U.S. Issues Think the liberals want to let you keep your guns, no, they actually want to kill you

Des Moines Register publishes gun-ban column advocating deadly violence against NRA, GOP leaders

By Tim Graham
Published January 02, 2013| FoxNews.com

Donald Kaul retired earlier this year. Now he has decided to return to writing occasional opinion columns for OtherWords.org. The Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn. brought out all his ugliness.

In a column that appeared after the shooting with the headline "Kaul: Nation needs a new agenda on guns," he proposed a new liberal agenda: repeal the Second Amendment, declare the NRA a terrorist organization and make membership illegal, and well, make violent threats to Republican leaders and NRA members. The Des Moines Register published this junk on December 29.

"I would tie Mitch McConnell and John Boehner, our esteemed Republican leaders, to the back of a Chevy pickup truck and drag them around a parking lot until they saw the light on gun control," he wrote. Is that a threatening James Byrd reference? "And if that didn’t work, I’d adopt radical measures," he continued.

This was how he spelled out the other agenda items, which included killing NRA members who wouldn't surrender their arms:

"Here, then, is my “madder-than-hell-and-I’m-not-going-to-take-it-anymore” program for ending gun violence in America:

• Repeal the Second Amendment, the part about guns anyway. It’s badly written, confusing and more trouble than it’s worth. It offers an absolute right to gun ownership, but it puts it in the context of the need for a “well-regulated militia.” We don’t make our militia bring their own guns to battles. And surely the Founders couldn’t have envisioned weapons like those used in the Newtown shooting when they guaranteed gun rights. Owning a gun should be a privilege, not a right.

• Declare the NRA a terrorist organization and make membership illegal. Hey! We did it to the Communist Party, and the NRA has led to the deaths of more of us than American Commies ever did. (I would also raze the organization’s headquarters, clear the rubble and salt the earth, but that’s optional.) Make ownership of unlicensed assault rifles a felony. If some people refused to give up their guns, that “prying the guns from their cold, dead hands” thing works for me."

The so-called "news" media love to blame conservatives for the declining civility of our democratic discourse, but the hateful venom spewed by supposedly enlightened liberals like Kaul is as vicious as it gets.

Publishing death threats is bad enough, but doing so in the name of promoting a more peaceful, compassionate society is beyond sick. But this clown will probably never realize the absurdity of his argument.

thx for posting -- we all need to be exposed to these irresponsible acts by today's propagandist tactics within mainstream media. I hope somebody drives a GM pickup through the front doors of The Des Moines Register and parks it on the editor's head.

Kaul was always a douchebag and his last name is definitely not Draggo.

I kind of hope he finds himself the victim of a non-gun random and painful crime.

Definitely. Can't believe he said that.

I know you'll be upset if he's beaten to the ground by a pack of sofa cushion wielding Campfire girls.

I've read Kaul articles in the Register for years...he's a kook and a douche.

The only thing dumber than this thread title is the article itself.

It's a pretty close race, though.

Heh, yea. I remember when “rhetoric of violence” was all the talk. Not so much anymore.

It was a lot more fun when people could use it to say how dangerous the Tea Party was. Now it's just some talk.

He has a point. Everyone without guns should round up the gun owners and kick their asses. It seems like a solid plan.
