Bonner Springs, KS –-(Ammoland.com)- It has come to our attention via an article in the Campus Reform that KU Journalism Professor David Guth turned to Twitter on Monday to suggest he would like to see the murder of children of National Rifle Association (NRA) members at the hands of a deranged gunman.
The article reports that KU Associate Professor David Guth was questioned about the tweet and is quoted as saying “”Hell no, hell no, I do not regret that Tweet, I don’t take it back one bit.”
He echoed the same egregious sentiments on his personal blog called Snapping Turtle.
Kansas State Rifle Association President, Patricia Stoneking said, “The KSRA will do everything possible to see to the removal of this man. He should be fired immediately. His statements are outrageous!” She went on to say, “Is this who you want teaching your children? I certainly do not want him teaching mine!”
President Stoneking continued to say, “Any person with such a vile and contemptuous attitude who has influence over our children as a professor does, should be immediately fired.”
The Kansas State Rifle Association is outraged by this. President Stoneking said, “I expect that the Kansas Board of Regents, who I believe to be reasonable people, would act on this immediately.”
The KSRA believes in the First Amendment right to free speech but holds grave concern about what he may be teaching his students and that this type of rhetoric could influence a mentally unstable individual and become a catalyst to cause someone to champion Professor Guth’s cause.
President Stoneking said, “its one thing to engage in thoughtful dialogue and speak against something but it is quite another to incite violence.”
She continued by saying, “This professor has obviously forgotten that it is human beings that commit crimes. Guns are inanimate objects and only human intervention causes them to be used in a criminal manner.”

Professor, you should be ashamed of yourself!! How dare you. By what right do you call for the death of my children. You are beyond contempt and are a disgrace not only to educators but to the human race.
SHAME ON YOU!
What a pathetic ploy for attenti
So these comments are appropriate???? The liberals always have a double standard of hyprocacy. Fire this deranged person , Immediately for the sake of the kids. I for one would be afraid he would be yet another shooter with thoughts like that.
This jerk is another Liberal POS from Kansas. Maybe we’d like to see his kids shot for his mindless comments, Communist Bastard! Chicago Bob!
People like this clown should be asked to leave the country, we dont need them at all
Some individuals are not intimidated by name calling or thinly-veiled threats of violence from ANY of you, on either side of the gun issue. I suppose you’ll say that this means I’m not patriotic. Whatever.
Blood is REALLY on the hands of liberal idiots like these that thing a “Gun Free zone” will be anything but an open invitation to a slaughter!
Stupid hopliphobes!
As durabo points out this man was exercising his First Amendment rights. The First Amendment stops the government from doing anything about his speech, it is however within everyone else’s First Amendment rights to give the college so much crap about it that they fire him.
Guth is exercising his First Amendment rights, as slimy as they may be. However, I hope he is set upon by street thugs and gutted like a fish with an “assault” knife ((How’s THAT for my right to express myself?)
DON’T FORGET THE PART ABOUT WITH NO PAY….SEEMS THEY ALWAYS GET A PAID VACATION. ONE WAS LIKE THAT LAST YEAR IN MELBOURNE FLORIDA.
