SAN FRANCISCO -- A convicted arsonist and sex offender has been charged in federal court with sending an e-mail in which he allegedly threatened to kill a U.S. Senator if she didn't oppose legislation that would end environmental protections for wolves, court records show.

Tras Gustav Karlsson Berg, 35, who recently moved from San Anselmo to Oakland, sent an e-mail to the California senator on Feb. 24 entitled, "Oppose the Anti-Wolf Continuing Resolution," according to a complaint filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in San Francisco.

Berg wrote, "I'm going to shoot you with a high-powered rifle and bomb your house with poison gas the way wolf hunters do if you don't do everything you can to oppose legislation that would eliminate Endangered Species Act protections for wolves across the country RIGHT F- NOW!" the complaint said.

In December, a group of Republican members of Congress sponsored a bill that would remove gray wolves from the endangered species list and turn over regulation of the species to individual states.

This guy doesn’t care about wolves. He’s a Democrat who sees the reintroduction of wolves as a means to get rid of privately owned weapons. Think about it. Why the big fuss? The liberals are thinking, “You know, if we could just get rid of all those guns, then we could just send in the ATF everytime we needed people to do what we say. Look at China. One kid families? We could make them have no kid families.”

Maybe he had a woody.

Would that make him a “splinter group” member?

Well, I'll bet his "member" got a splinter.

I figured you can throw a hunk of meat at a wolf and it would keep him busy in time to get away.

Nope, to a wolf, the meat isn't any fun and they kill for fun. You'd be dead meat.
