Lefty Professor: NRA, LaPierre ‘Have Blood On Their Hands’ From NYC Cop-Killing

By Tom Johnson

In a Wednesday column on Talking Points Memo, Occidental College politics professor Peter Dreier asserted that those who believe New York mayor Bill de Blasio was partly responsible for the December 20 murder of two NYPD officers should instead “point the finger of blame” at the National Rifle Association. Dreier wrote that while “it was [Ismaaiyl] Brinsley who pulled the trigger…the NRA and its Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre also have blood on their hands...For decades, the NRA has fought every effort to get Congress and states to adopt reasonable laws that would make it much less likely that people like Brinsley would be able to obtain a gun.”

The gun was illegal.

He had already been convicted of unlawful possession of a gun. There's no way he had a legal gun, even though the press never stated that it was an illegal gun.

The gun had the serial number filed off (or removed) - illegally obtained and possessed. If they want to get rid of guns all together, then they might as well disarm police, DHS, TSA, FBI, the DoD and all of them.

If only we had laws that would keep guns out of the hands of blacks!

We did? Back when? The Democrats passed those laws? OMG!

NYC does just about exactly zero that the NRA wishes it would do. So pinning blame on the NRA makes about as much sense as blaming scurvy and ricketts deaths on those who advise that people should take vitamins.

Libtardism is the art of being able to stand on your head and tell the rest of the world that it is upside down.

Professor, I have a thought for you:

Americans have owned weapons for hundreds of years yet we never saw this type of violence before with the exception of war where it was necessary. In fact it gave us this great nation you now live in. Now we see a new type of violence which is more brutal and vengeful during a time when socialist policies are being taught in our schools and the government has embraced it. Do you see the correlation? Socialism = more death by guns. Guns were already here. See how I made that same leap of faith like you did? Sorry, forgot “leap of faith” is a religious term which you despise...

Just once I’d like to see someone attacked by a liberal actually go to the wall destroying them. Once. Is that really so much to ask?

Does ANYONE in the spotlight have any sense of self worth?

Its not a leap of faith. Its a fact. Almost 100% of gun violence in America is committed by either the spreaders or practitioners of Socialism, Liberalism.

How many staunch right wingers shoot up Chicago every night? Mug people? Rape? Near zero.

You are very quick to denigrate and accuse, aren’t you? You couldn’t understand what I was talking about.

Because I pose a ridiculous alternative like the ones which this article implies doesn’t mean that I think anything remotely like this country should disarm, even IF I believe there are too many government agencies that are arming themselves with automatic weapons that have nothing to do with their charter.

Also, I don’t know where you get the “leap of faith” stuff unless you’ve been thread jumping and carrying over other conversations that have been in a different context.

In general, you have a pretty nasty tone in your comment.

The only way libtards can get their articles read is by attacking, conservatives, Religion, Guns and anything else that doesn’t pertain to a fact.

Please, please, let’s not use the word “professor” loosely.

If he is a lefty prof, he most probably has a degree in underwater basket weaving or some other non demanding subject.

Let’s reserve the term “professor” for someone who actually had intellectual challenge in worthwhile courses,

This idiot is simply someone who got fired at McDs for incompetency and decided to do something requiring less mental effort than schlepping burgers.

(No insult intended to the many good folks out there trying to make a living in those min wage jobs.)

Americans have owned weapons for hundreds of years yet we never saw this type of violence before with the exception of war where it was necessary.

Actual fact is that long-term homicide rates have been going down, in America as well as elsewhere, for several centuries.

http://2378nh2nfow32gm3mb25krmuyy.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Violence-Stylized-2.png

In the last century, we had two major upticks in this decline, the 20s and the 80s/90s. The all-time low homicide rate was around 1960 and we're very nearly back to that number now.

Should be noted that some significant percentage of the decline in homicide is due to better medical care. There are a lot more attempted but unsuccessful murders, for example, today than in 1900.

To give an obvious example, McKinley's wound would be no problem at all today for a trauma center. But in 1897 it killed him after weeks of suffering.

Sounds like he has a “poly sci” degree. Essentially worthless for practical purposes.
