After Texas school shooting, Virginia Tech professor calls NRA ‘terrorist organization’
Fox News ^ | 05/22/18 | Caleb Parke

A Medieval Studies professor called the National Rifle Association a “terrorist organization” hours after the Santa Fe, Texas school shooting that killed 10 people Friday.

“The NRA is a terrorist organization,” tweeted Matthew Gabriele, a tenured professor at Virginia Tech University.

Tracy Vosburgh, a Virginia Tech spokesperson, told Fox News the anti-NRA tweet doesn’t represent the university.

“Mr. Gabriele’s views are his and his alone,” Vosburgh said. “Any comment on his statement should come from him.”

Gabriele declined to comment when reached, but he described himself in a tweetstorm as “a white dude with tenure who doesn’t give a s***” armed with “a supportive employer.”

Gabriele is not the first on the left to blame a shooting on the NRA, despite any connection.

Using the exact same quote, Claude Taylor, a former Clinton staffer, funded billboards across Florida stating, “The NRA is a terrorist organization” following the Parkland high school massacre that killed 17 people.

Gabriele also has tweeted other controversial messages including: “The modern GOP is nothing but white supremacy” and writing people support President Trump because “his racism spoke to them.”

These are the kind of people that would shoot you because you don’t want guns banned.

The evidence strongly suggests that maladjusted youths bent on revenge for slights real or imagined constitute the real terrorist organization in the context of school mass murders.

The problem with hysterical rhetoric is, it works. McDonalds had to give up Styrofoam containers because of hysterical rhetoric. We have practically abandoned coal because of hysterical rhetoric. Germany is about to ban all diesel cars, forty percent of their cars, because of hysterical rhetoric. The companies I worked for have become PC hellholes because of hysterical rhetoric. It appears that words, repeated often enough, create their own reality. Very scary.

See, calling the NRA a terrorist organization means that NRA members are terrorists and in liberal-la-la-land that means it’s now okay to kill NRA members.

That’s where this POS is going with this.

And yet strangely enough after eight years of the first “halfrican” president, Black unemployment was still high. 15 months later, Black unemployment figures are the lowest since record keeping began.

I’m proud of voting for Donald J. Trump, and the idea he would lower unemployment in Black areas was only one of the reasons why I did.

What possible benefit does keeping Blacks down contribute to the nation? Those working have to pay taxes to support them when they are unemployed or on welfare.

All the race baiters need to think this one through.

Of course that will never happen.

If the NRA is a terrorist organization because of the availability of firearms, then the Democrats are a terrorist organization for supplying firearms to enemies of the United States.

Both world wars resulted from hysterical rhetoric.
