If our esteemed representatives in Congress aren't above breaking the rules of those hallowed halls in the name of gun control, why should anyone else be expected to be any better?
People who got there by being front men for civil rights seem to have no problem stripping constitutionally guaranteed rights from others.

There is an old saying, "The first ambition of an oppressed minority is to become an oppressive majority."
He's an adjunct professor, so he can be fired at any time.
I'm really shocked that there is a newspaper in Arkansas.
Sorry, that was an Okie joke that got out of hand.

Arkansas Times is not a newspaper. It was a magazine at one time, but went severely down hill and is now one of those rags you pick up for free at the airport.

By the way, Arkansas had a newspaper before Oklahoma existed -- even before the Indian Territory existed. It was the Arkansas Gazette's report on the first group of Choctaws to be "removed" in 1831 that included a quote from a Choctaw chief, "It was a trail of tears and death."

Take a look at his Facebook page. Do you think it's a coincidence that every one of the five jobs listed in his Intro says "former"?

Education does not make a man smart, it makes him educated.
Yes, and the numbskull actor, little Matt Damon, is one of them. He has called for the mass confiscation of all guns in the United States.
I am sure he excludes the firearms his personal body guards carry ... and of course, all the guns used in his movies so he can make millions of $$$$$.
Hypocrites know no shame.

Leanwolf:
Did actor Matt Damon really call for the "mass confiscation of all firearms in the US"? There seems to be a pattern of anti-Sec. Amend. actors who make a very nice living portraying either hit men or other murderers. Ethics in Hollywood?
That doesn't appear to be a joke by Mr. Damon, in order to get attention.
My tentative plans to see his latest movie have been cancelled. That money will be spent on ammo for the Makarov(s) or 'new' Mak 90. Academy Sports is only a half mile from nearby theaters in Bartlett.
As for the nitwit college "professor" in OH, let's hope that the Sheriff's Dept. Can put him through a very long interrogation. Maybe some of you present or former LEOs have contacts in that county?
After tonight's massacre in Dallas, even much more appropriate if somebody has incited a terroristic attack?

James Pearce is just an 'Adjunct Assistant Professor' at a small technical college that not a lot of folks in Ohio have ever heard of (even though it does have four locations).
Adjunct Assistant (usually) means that James Pearce is not tenured, not on the road to tenure, and most likely is part-time.
His comments are idiotic.

I looked up 'Adjunct Assistant Professor', too. Interesting:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_ranks_in_the_United_States
For regular faculty (i.e., not counting administrative positions such as chairmanships or deanships, nor positions considered "staff" rather than faculty), the descending hierarchy in most cases is:
- Distinguished, Endowed or University Professor (Other such titles of special distinction vary by institution)
- Professor ("Full Professor", i.e. the destination of the "tenure track," upon exhausting all normally-expected promotions)
- Associate Professor (On-Track to be a "Full Professor")
- Assistant Professor (On-Track to be an "Associate Professor," typically entry-level for "tenure track" positions)
- Research Associate, Lecturer, and Instructor (usually non-tenure-track positions, sometimes with their own respective ranking hierarchies)
- Adjunct Professor/Lecturer/Instructor (often part-time)
Further:
Any faculty title preceded with the qualifier "Adjunct" theoretically denotes part-time status (usually less than half-time). Adjunct faculty may have primary employment elsewhere (either another school, or as a practicing professional), though in today's saturated academic market many doctorate-holders seek to earn a living from several adjunct jobs (to the advantage of institutions, which do not typically offer such faculty retirement/health benefits or long-term contracts).
So...he's at the very bottom of the totem pole at a small technical college. And at his apparent age, looking at his photo, I doubt he's ever going to amount to anything more.
Where was this guy when I was in college years ago? I'd have had a heyday with him.
Oh, yeah...he was probably still walking around with loaded diapers. Not much has changed, apparently.

NRA HQ is in Fairfax, VA. Virginia is a "shall issue" for CCW and open carry without a permit is legal.

Maybe time to look into the Tor Browser designed to help political activists in repressive regimes "get the truth out".
Original project started with .gov seed money at ONL and DARPA. Like guns can be used for good or evil

I work at a State University,,,
Being a conservative I take a lot of verbal flak.
This flak is overt, rude, and comes from both liberal faculty members and students.
When I put this picture up on the wall of my office,,,
Several of them went to complain to the Dean.
It sorta proved the point of the statement.
They are all about open dialogue,,,
Until it disagrees with their viewpoint.
This might seem like an over generalization,,,
But it comes from 16 years in this place.
It never ceases.

Security in the building, and maybe 18-30 people shooting in the range at any time. Plus armed range officers. It would go hard on the professor and his pals!

Even this underestimtes the frightening reality. These modern-day Progressives will just as happlliy place their opposition in concentration/death camps, as their Euruopean and Asian predecessors did all during the last century.
In fact, I can almost guarantee this eventuallity.
Seriously........................wait and see.

SSCC isn't a "real" college. The highest degree is an Associates ("earn your degree in 18 months"). Most programs are lower level training - truck driving, even a GED prep course. Now there is nothing wrong with an Assocites, driving a truck, or earning a GED. But I think it's a stretch to call this institution a college. The scariest thing I saw was that the have a criminal justice program...
