#1 Well Colonel, I would start by referring those alleged threats to the SJA, MP's, local LE and the FBI. A good follow-up measure [since you are busy writing] would be buying a pistol for the wife and signing her up for some NRA approved firearms training.

Don't forget to add you anti-NRA advocacy and Esquire articles as OER bullets. You look like general officer material [in today's army] to me.

#2 As a point of order, Master Bateman, you first penned the article and in so said so much as agree or die.

Second, this is not NRA advocacy; they simply noted an article posted by someone of rank and self said expertise. This is disingenuous, like stating that because your article is posted in Esquire, then Esquire is pro-chicken humping.
