Meet the journalism professor who says NRA members are treasonous, should be executed

I read his piece, which I won't dignify with the term "Op-Ed". Condensed, it is (1) that the NRA has somewhere - he doesn't say where - advocated the violent overthrow of the existing government; (2) that to do so is treasonous, and (3) deserving of state violence in order to uphold the law. One phony premise and the whole ridiculous construction comes down.

In fact, the NRA position is precisely the opposite: that the Constitution be followed, ALL of it, including that pesky 2nd Amendment that so obstructs right-thinking progressives from mandating heaven on earth or else they'll kill you.

He's apparently serious about sending in the tanks, which strikes me as yet another silly academic demanding blood that would horrify him if he ever actually saw it. The problem is that calling for blood sometimes actually does start things, but that they can't be stopped once the fantasy tough guys actually get some spattering their direction. An awful lot of student revolutionaries in Russia found that out the hard way.

He does appear to foster a head full of stereotypes, evidenced by his allusion to RPGs in the hands of NRA members not doing us any good against Abrams and Raptors. I'm afraid my local WalMart is fresh out of RPGs, and it apparently does not register with him exactly who it is who drives those tanks and fighters. A clue - it isn't associate Journalism professors.

He caught hell in the Comments section, by the way, as he thoroughly deserved. The NRA he fantasizes is not the NRA of the real world, and the prudent man should careful of who he decides to shoot at because we do shoot back.

Always railing against The Man. Who’s the Man? That would be us, people who understand the real world and refuse to follow their “dreams”. Usually, when you grow up, you discover that Dad wasn’ t all that stupid. Liberals refuse to grow up, hence their disdain for things like guns and the liberty they afford us all- common sense to those who’ve reached adulthood- foreign to those that ‘dream’.

Dreams aren’t all bad. Those that replace reality and can get you killed, are. For a teenager it’s forgivable. For an adult, it’s a damn shame.
