Well, it’s finally happening, the lunatics are now literally flowing out of the woodwork. And the prefect example of that comes to us in the form of what has been laughingly described as being an opinion column in the Des Moines Register which was actually published on Dec. 29. The author, some flaming anti-gun zealot by the name of Donald Kaul, must have thought that by writing this little piece, and in such a rather uncensored manner, demonstrating his outright disdain for the Second Amendment and anyone who values their right to keep and bear arms, he might be able to convince others to come around to his rather bizarre way of thinking. And in what was nothing more that a full-blown psychotic rant disguised as a newspaper column, this very obviously deranged individual calls for a full repeal of the Second Amendment, advocates for extreme violence to be used against Republican leaders "until they see the light on gun control" and even goes so far as to declare the National Rifle Association a terrorist organization. Wow, and how do you spell deranged? Ah, that would be - D-O-N-A-L-D K-A-U-L.
I guess what we are intended to assume here as being what it might have been that finally drove him over the edge, and to the point where he felt compelled to write this diatribe entitled "Kaul: Nation needs a new agenda on guns," was, at least in part, the tragic shooting in Newtown, Conn. where shooter Adam Lanza opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School, killing 20 children and six adults. And I also guess we’re to believe that it was this tragedy that spurred this obviously demented psychopath into action and causing him to write, "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." Why a Chevy, I wonder? Anyway, he went on to say, "And if that didn’t work, I’d adopt radical measures." And another point that makes very clear this nut's questionable mental state is the fact that he would also like to make it illegal to even be a member of the NRA, similar to the way it was illegal to join the Communist party in the past. Yup, I think we can safely say this guy has gone round the bend!
He went on to say: "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."
For a guy who seems to possess a rather high opinion of himself, like most liberals that you run into, the irony here, which is obvious to everyone reading in his imbecilic tirade, is apparently completely lost on him. Because while at the same time he is seemingly promoting a more peaceful and enlightened society, he also seems to advocating the tying of Republican leaders, and other who may not agree with his rather skewed way of looking at thing, to the back of pick-up trucks and dragging them around until they may finally come around and agree with his point of view. Kaul berates gun owners while also saying it’s alright to pry "the guns from their cold, dead hands." Now in response to Mr. Kaul's column, Tim Graham, director of media analysis at the Media Research Center, wrote: "Publishing death threats is bad enough, but doing so in the name of promoting a more peaceful, compassionate society is beyond sick." I think it safe to say that that's putting it rather mildly. It should be obvious to just about anybody that this Kaul character should be residing in a rubber room somewhere!
