Professor calls for murder of NRA president
Thomas Lifson

[Caution: contains obscene language, quoting a threat]

A professor at a [regionally accredited] taxpayer-supported state university has called for the murder of the president of the NRA. Apparently the carnage in Newtown, Connecticut was not enough slaughter to satisfy the blood lust of Erik Loomis, PhD, assistant professor of history at the [regionally accredited] University of Rhode Island. Oliver Darcy of Campus Reform reports:

A professor of history turned to Twitter over the weekend to call for the death of National Rifle Association (NRA) CEO Wayne LaPierre, branding the gun rights group he heads as a terrorist organization.

"[I] want Wayne LaPierre's head on a stick," Erik Loomis, a professor at the University of Rhode Island (URI), tweeted.

It "looks like the National Rifle Association has murdered some more children," he added."

Can [we] define NRA membership as dues contributing to a terrorist organization?" he asked in a separate tweet.

Loomis' comments come on the heels of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, which left 20 young children and six faculty members dead.

The professor contended Democratic lawmakers should exploit the tragedy to force more restrictive gun control measures into law.

"You are goddamn right we should politicize this tragedy," Loomis tweeted. "[F]uck the NRA."

"Dear Republicans, do you know the definition of family values?" he continued. "It's not having our kids FUCKING SHOT AT SCHOOL! Fuck the NRA."

Professor Loomis, who received his PhD in history from the [regionally accredited] University of New Mexico in 2008, 12 years after graduating from the [regionally accredited alma mater of civil rights violator Anal Contreras] University of Oregon, has a history of violent rhetoric directed against conservatives. In March of this year, he called for a "decades-long fight to the death [against conservatives]. That's the nation's only hope." The questionable rhetoric appeared in an essay ironically titled, "Are Conservatives Any Crazier Today Than 50 Years Ago?" Clearly the professor, who has violent impulses is projecting his own character flaws onto conservatives, in my opinion.

Consider that this man has been given the trust of education young minds, and his history of intemperate and violent language. And to top it off, he is now playing a victim, because people have noticed and commented on his tweet. College Insurrection reports:

Read the Twitter feed for Loomis - he fancies himself a Twitter martyr of such huge proportions he may even write a magazine article about his ordeal of having people quote what he said:

Update: Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit comments:

The anti-NRA syllogism seems to work this way: (1) Something bad happened; (2) I hate you; so (3) It's your fault. This sort of reasoning has played out in all sorts of places over the past century, with poor results. One would expect a history professor to know better.

Update: Katie Pavlich of Townhall.com collects some tweeted death threats.

Shouldn't the government college and the highly vulnerable government grade school have been in the loop? . . . Only an unprotected grade school full of kids too small to fight back would be an acceptable target for a scrawny dork.

So if government agents considered Lanza dangerous enough to be "carefully monitored" at a high school, shouldn't all the other taxpaying citizens and their kids be allowed in on the news too?

Right you are, Herbert. They should be, but the government doesn't want taxpayers to be anything more than docile and obedient servants of the state. Letting them know a wolf was loose among the sheep might cause a Klempner-ish Kerfuffle among the masses.

The Federal Government is Guilty Accomplice in School Shooting in Newtown Connecticut

. . . This shooting is yet another tragic example of the failed, grotesque insistence on helpless victim zones where any crazed gunman can be assured of a large number of disarmed, undefended, helpless victims, all crammed into one place, where he can kill many children before an armed defender arrives from elsewhere. It is disturbing and sick that the federal government so hates the right of the American people to bear arms, and so hates their natural right to self defense, that the government insists on making them helpless, disarmed victims for anyone who cares to kill them. And in this case, all of the teachers and staff were willfully disarmed by the Federal Government, by force of law and threat of prison, to ensure that they would be disarmed and incapable of saving the lives of the children entrusted to their care.

That makes the Federal Government complicit in the deaths of these children, and in fact an accessory to their mass murder, by forcibly disarming (with the very real threat of prison) all the teachers, all the staff, and any parent who may have been on school property. That stupid law guaranteed the shooters would meet no immediate armed resistance, which is exactly what is needed to stop such an attack.

In such a shooting (as in every criminal attack), seconds count, and the people best positioned to stop the attack are the people on the scene – the intended victims and/or their care-takers. In this case, that would mean the teachers and staff of the school who were responsible for the well-being of those children, and also the parents, who should have the ability to save the lives of their own children as they take them to and from school.

The police cannot, and do not arrive in time to stop such shooters from killing large numbers of people. They are a slow reactive force compared to an armed citizen on the scene. This should be common sense, as it is obvious that in the immediacy of a criminal attack, it is the intended victims (or their immediate care-takers) who are there, in position to put a stop to the attack, if they are capable. And being capable means being armed, trained, willing, and able to use deadly force, right then, right there. Anything less leads to what we saw here.

But no doubt the rabid anti-gun government supremacists will use this to further their agenda to disarm the American people, totally ignoring that obvious, plain-as-day truth. Anti-gun nuts trust the government with guns, but not the people, and insist that the lowly citizen must be disarmed and helpless in the face of murderous assault, and must wait on slow responding armed government employees, who will not be there when the attack starts, and most often can only really clean up the horrendous crime scene afterwards and maybe, just maybe apprehend a shooter who has chosen not to kill himself (as they usually do).

The bottom line is that these teachers and staff at the Sandy Hook Elementary School were incapable of keeping these children safe, and incapable of defending them. And one of the biggest reasons they were so incapable and unprepared to save the lives of the children entrusted to their care is because the anti-gun nuts and their fellow travelers in government insisted on disarming every adult in the vicinity, by threatening them with prison time – EXCEPT the gunmen, who don’t care about the law and thus were not disarmed. Laws against carrying weapons in schools don’t stop evil men with murderous intent. Such laws only disarm the law abiding and virtuous, who are now rendered incompetent to defend the precious children in their care.

This is disgusting. And yet another reason to home-school. Why would you want to leave your children helpless, in the hands of adults who are themselves helpless, and incapable of defending them, by government decree? For all we know, one of the teachers may have been a veteran, with the training and skill to use a firearm if one had been available. But all the teachers and staff, whatever their ability with firearms, were stripped of the choice and chance to save the lives of these kids.

There are more good guys than bad guys in the world. But the good guys need to be able to stop the bad guys, and that means they need to be armed so they can stop the bad guys on the spot, without having to wait for “official” government approved good guys to respond. Trust the teachers with arms so they can save the lives of their students.

Until the adults are allowed to actually act like adults, and defend themselves and their students, this kind of willful killing will continue to happen, and the federal government will in each case be a guilty party to the conspiracy by ensuring that the targets are disarmed.

Until this changes, you should refuse to give your children over to government schools lorded over by a Federal Government so callous and indifferent to their safety and lives.
