Republican Rep posts personal contact info for 3 gun control pastors because "knowledge is power"



As the Oregonian reports, Rep. Bill Post (R-Keizer) wrote a post on Facebook encouraging gun rights supporters to “make a phone call or send a note” to three chief petitioners for what he described as “gun confiscation ballot measure.” Post also included the phone numbers and home addresses of there leaders.

“Should anyone want to make a phone call or send a note…. Feel free to right click and save the picture then share everywhere,” Post wrote.

The photo featured information for Rabbi Michael Cahana, Rev. Alcena Boozer and Pastor W. J. Mark Knutson. Cahana told the Oregonian he received “quite a number of calls on my cell phone” from mostly polite gun rights advocates, adding the messages he received on Facebook and via email were “not so polite.”

Asked why he felt the need to share the personal home addresses of the men, Post told the Oregonian “knowledge is power.” He also insisted he’s happy to see the measure on the ballot as “it will be the greatest red wave in Oregon’s history.”

...of several anti-war activists in her city. I think one of them had their gas lines cut a few days later.

This is Post's "Won't someone rid me of this meddlesome priest" moment. He's hoping that someone hurts or kills them.
