This fool was a columnist for the Des Moines Register when I lived there. I wondered what happened to him.

In other words, she -- the Divine Sarah -- is the victim here, not the people lying in their blood in Tucson.
When someone uses the term "in other words," it is usually followed by something substantially different from the text described.

[The American people — a lot of them — responded by buying guns. Gun sales surged in the wake of the shooting. Apparently people see themselves standing in a shopping mall, taking dead aim on a gunman who’s spraying the place with bullets, and bringing him down with a single shot. Lots of luck with that. Life seldom imitates Clint Eastwood movies. Even when it does, you rarely get to be Clint. ]
Statistics don’t lie when it comes to the many times an armed victim has turned the tables on a home invader or other assailant threatening their lives.

The country would evolve, they knew, and the Constitution would have to expand and evolve with it.
Speaking of "words." Perhaps the author should look up the term "Amendment!" It isn't up to a group of judges to "evolve" our Constitution! I believe there is an instruction booklet on how to amend it.

He's obviously a colossal dimwit.
This comes as Utah -- very correctly -- is about to designate native son Browning's M1911 as the official state firearm.

Ok, I have one here:
Amendment to the Constitution:
The Executive, Legislative or Judicial branch shall not regulate in any way an individual’s right to keep and bear arms, nor shall any agent thereof deprive, deny or interfere with the right to keep and bear arms or the manufacture or sale of arms. Any employee of the federal government attempting to subvert this amendment shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to death; any and all appeals of that employee must be heard and completed within one year of conviction.
Adoption of this amendment would:
1 — Restore the right to keep and bear arms to ex-felons.
2 — Allow felons and other criminals to carry weapons, for their own protection, within [federal] prisons.
3 — Give actual consequences to governmental-agents who would deprive a freeman [or even otherwise] of the right to keep and bear arms.

The country would evolve, they knew, and the Constitution would have to expand and evolve with it. What a laugh that he uses the words expand and evolve in justifying restrictions on guns. Isnt what he proposes the exact opposite of expanding and evolving?
Weapons of the 21st century aren't those of the 18th.
And the internet of the 21st century arent the books of the 18th century.

Yet a majority of our Supreme Court chooses to ignore the "well-regulated Militia" part of the Second Amendment and focus exclusively on citizens' right to bear arms. Ok smart guy. what does the phrase "well-regulated Militia" in the 2nd amendment mean? Go on, give us a chuuckle.

By this moron’s own philosophy, he should be restricted to writing his columns with a crow quill pen. After all, when our founders spoke of freedom of the press they could not have envisioned radio, TV or the internet.

I used to laugh at Donald Kaul’s columns back in the 90’s. He was all gung -ho about Clinton’s wars in Bosnia. I thought this idiot retired.

President Barack Obama responded as a president should, with dignity and eloquence. And free T-shirts. Don't forget the free T-shirts.

I am down with your amendment. Especially the part about death to gungrabbing, oathbreaking usurpers taking liberty under color of law.

They weren't. They were 18th-century creatures of the Enlightenment who were conscious of their limitations in laying down rules for the formation of a nation.
Being learned men, the founders knew that there would be advances in gun technology as they has seen up to their time.
They knew it was better to have unfortunate tragedy like Tucson than to live under tyranny.
