Missouri School of Journalism Prof: NRA More Dangerous Than Islamic State

The left relentlessly and continuously demonizes the right and sows hatred of their own country and heritage in young people in universities all over the nation. This professor ought to be reprimanded and never allowed to teach again, if he is still teaching. But Missouri School of Journalism officials probably agree with him.

“MO School of Journalism Prof: NRA More Dangerous Than Islamic State,” by AWR Hawkins, Breitbart, April 20, 2017:

Story continues below advertisement

Missouri School of Journalism professor emeritus George Kennedy suggests the National Rifle Association (NRA) is more dangerous than Islamic State.

Writing in the Missourian, Kennedy observed:

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria is a terrorist organization founded in 1999, headquartered in Syria and feared around the world. The NRA was founded in 1891, headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia, and is feared by politicians across America.

To be fair, the NRA was actually founded in 1871, but Kennedy continued:

What makes the Islamic State so feared it its willingness to kill in pursuit of its goal of creating a fundamentalist caliphate.

What makes the NRA so feared is its willingness to spend heavily and campaign aggressively in pursuit of its goal of removing all restrictions on the possession and use of firearms just about anywhere by just about anyone.

Notice how Kennedy went from incorrect information–the wrong founding date for the NRA–to unsubstantiated claims that the NRA wants to allow “possession and use of firearms just about anywhere by just about anyone.” In reality, the NRA fights for the enforcement of the law and the prosecution of firearm-wielding criminals with a fervor equaled only by its defense of law-abiding citizens’ right to keep and bear arms. Kennedy’s language muddies the water and misses the point.

Kennedy then claims the number of Americans killed by ISIS jihadists since 9/11 is nine. That is not a typo, he actually links to a Euronews source and claims only nine Americans have been killed by ISIS jihadists since the terror attacks on NYC in 2001.

Where were Kennedy and the Euronews when an attacker claiming allegiance to ISIS attacked Orlando Pulse and killed 49 people on June 12, 2016? That gunman literally used a 911 call to announce his allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. And the Orlando Pulse attack is not the only one that could be mentioned to disprove Kennedy and his Euronews source.

Kennedy’s purpose is claiming “only nine” Americans killed by terrorists was really to set up his second point, that “11,737 Americans” are murdered each year with guns. This figure is actually close to the truth. The average number of firearm-related homicides hovers around 10,500 to 11,500 annually. Many of these homicides occur in gang-riddled cities like Chicago and Baltimore. For example, there were nearly 800 homicides in Chicago in 2016 and over 300 in Baltimore. So a tenth of our nation’s homicides occurred in two Democrat-controlled cities, both of which look to gun control as the solution for the failure of gun control….

A senile old man teaching a worthless, journalism, craft to fools who are irrelevant now, and in the post truth era, which they are brainwashed to believe, become short order cooks, and shelf stockers as the media they are wasting their time on has lied itself into irrelevancy.

The old coot doesn’t have a clue about the Bill of Rights, or why we have them. Way, way, way more people are killed each year in car accidents than by guns, yet not a peep from the leftist gun grabbers …:

That is a fact, the fact that conservatives have restrained themselves remarkably well is the only reason social democrats and muslims are still alive.

They can’t depend on that forever. Because there’s lots and lots of pissed off conservatives and Americans that have had enough. Libs still don’t get it, but that’s why we have an America first President Trump.

It would be a very dangerous thing for democrats to try pushing the conservative Americans too far. democrats and muslims have become used to getting their way, they will require a severe slap down to get them back in their place, assuming they survive.

It is a “J” school specializing in bias, lying and fake news. Reality rarely if ever enters into the curriculum because journalist are never expected to have to deal with it.

I would recommend that Prof. Kennedy get off his ass and move to Syria, Iraq, or Afghanistan where he will feel safer.
Prof. Kennedy is a far greater threat to Americans than ISIS or the NRA. He needs to be deported. Seriously.

Professor Kennedy, if you move to the Islamic State then you’ll be much safer — don’t let the door hit your a$$ on the way out!

Agreed. The only way he will fit in there is if he gets himself an AK-47 and becomes proficient with it, just like everyone else he will rub elbows with.

He might want to convert to Sunni pi$$lam before he goes as well — otherwise he’ll find he’s on the receiving end of a 7.62x39mm slug fired from a chopper.

Who’s paying this bastard to vomit his filth. Is he speaking for the University. He’s obviously not a young person, so he should know better just from life experience. He’s either suffering from late stages dementia, or is an all out traitor. Either way, he’s got to go. And have his pension forwarded to the NRA…..

As a longtime member of NRA and given the unpredictability of raghead attacks, I legally carry everywhere, including church. I also enjoy the shooting sports such as licensed hunting and sanctioned target shoots, taking my WWII M-1 Garand to the range this morning, as a matter of fact. Be safe, be trained, be alert.

What kind of fool gets a degree in journalism? Journalists don’t create anything. Journalists don’t solve problems. Journalists don’t cure disease. Journalists don’t help the sick, the poor, the downtrodden. Journalists just run their mouths and write poorly. We can get any kid from a nearly discredited high school to do that. MU alumns should have this idiot removed.

Considering the source, if he’s a closet tyrant, socialist or muslim then he’s right, his fear of the NRA is simple; he knows deep down, in his primitive soul, that we’re not going to tolerate his fantasy of oppression and tyranny. No matter what ‘happy face’ he tries to paint on it.

Love the first amendment. It allows transparency to shine through, the transparency of closet tyrants. Or in this case; Professor IQ himself.

One of the reasons for the founding of the NRA was to protect the Second Amendment rights of all Americans including the former slaves who had been emancipated by President Lincoln and then by the Thirteenth Amendment. On the other hand, the Gun Control death toll is over 100 Million people, mostly killed by agents of their own government. A long time ago, one of my mother’s friends, a WWII war bride, commented that if they come for your guns, you’re next.

When your kid returns home from school, and doesn’t have the knowledge to be a good burger-flipper at Whatta-Burger, maybe you should question what your money was spent for. People like this clown , a professor at a major university, is one of the things your money pays for. WISE UP!!!!
