Professor Claims NRA Is More Dangerous Than ISIS

Liberals have been claiming for years that the National Rifle Association is an evil organization hell-bent on making sure every man woman and child in America has a gun and can do whatever they please.

George Kennedy, a Missouri School of Journalism professor emeritus, took liberal lunacy over gun control one step further when he wrote an op-ed for the Missourian in which he claimed that the NRA was more dangerous to America than the Islamic State group.

Kennedy’s article (which initially got the date the NRA was founded wrong), tried to claim that the NRA was more of a threat to Americans because of the agenda they are pushing.


“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,” Kennedy wrote.

This guy is a professor? I feel sorry for his students. Such use of an absurd generalization about the NRA is utterly ridiculous. They don’t want “anyone” to have firearms — they want law-abiding citizens to have the right to own a firearm if they so choose.

Kennedy then went on to claim that the Islamic State group has only killed nine people in America (apparently Kennedy forgot about the Orlando mass murder and other attacks), while on average 11,737 Americans are killed by each other every year.


Of course, Kennedy never bothered to break down the 11,737 number to show how many Americans are killed by criminals who are illegally in possession of a firearm.

Why bother using real statistics when you can just warp the truth to your own twisted narrative?

“However, there is no denying that the NRA is Missouri’s and the nation’s most vociferous, most generous to its friends and most vindictive to its enemies advocate of a free-fire zone for guns of all types in all places,” Kennedy wrote in a rather confusing (and completely wrong) conclusion to his op-ed.

Overall, I’d give this professor’s op-ed an F. it showed a poor use of evidence, factual inaccuracies, overly broad statements and just an overall poor writing style. Kennedy really needs to go back to writing school.


Sadly, this article reflect what many liberals in America actually believe. They are simply too lazy to look at the facts of the situation to realize how wrong they are. Instead, they prefer sweeping generalizations with a large helping of incorrect statistics.
