A liberal professor of journalism at the University of Kansas has taken it upon himself to wish death upon the children of members of the National Rifle Association, as well as “a pox on our Congress and a pox on the NRA”, according to Campus Reform.

As an NRA life member, I am appalled at the lack of humanity and the sheer psychological malaise evident in an individual to whom the education of young adults is entrusted.

I could wish death upon Mr. Guth.

But I won’t.

I could stoop to his reptilian level.

But I won’t.

I could post all of his personal and contact information.

But I won’t.

Instead, I will say this:

Mr. Guth,

There are 300 million firearms legally owned in the United States, according to the National Rifle Association. A fraction of a percentage are used to commit crimes as the majority of those involved have been illegally obtained. I find it puzzling that you, a bastion of the tolerant and caring liberal left, would wish such heinous atrocities on CHILDREN because you are enraged by a madman using a tool – and that IS what a firearm is – to commit a mass murder.

Frankly, Mr. Guth, I believe YOU to be a madman and your comments to be terroristic threats. That you may use your own tool – the platform from which you teach – to poison the minds of the next generation with hatred, malice, reactionary rhetoric, and such vile words is beyond fathomable to me.

Have you ever feared for your safety, Mr. Guth? That of your kids? How about for the future of your country?

I have, and it is for those very reasons that I choose to own firearms and teach my children to use and respect them. I’m sure you wouldn’t understand since respect seems beyond your realm of comprehension. My children are my world, Sir. Were anything to happen to them because you feel that inciting further violence is acceptable, it would behoove you to pray that St. Peter gets to you before I do.

That said, I won’t wish harm or death upon you or your loved ones. What I will hope for is that should harm ever befall you or them, someone not so myopic, judgmental, and as intellectually challenged as you has a firearm to protect your disgusting hide and show you just how unworthy of such protection you’ve been.

Live long and prosper, asshole.
