Isn’t it curious how so many people who oppose Second Amendment rights are quick to oppose First Amendment protections as well.
Far from standing up to defend another’s rights or freedoms, so-called “progressives” often are quick to censor.
In other words, they seek tyranny to “protect” society from that which they deem offensive.
It’s on full display as Bruce L. Rockwood, a college professor emeritus of legal studies at Bloomsburg, PA University condemns a newspaper for giving the NRA’s Chris Cox a forum to express his opinion, comparing Chris Cox to the Taliban. You would think Bruce L. Rockwood was a professor at Bloomberg University with that quaint thinking. He’s certainly an Obamaphile.
Let’s cut to the chase. Professor Bruce L. Rockwood is a leftist crank. If you have any doubt he’s a moonbat read his piece from the Portland Press Herald:
Another View: Paper exercised poor judgment in running pro-gun rights op-ed
An NRA official’s column unfairly blamed underfunded mental health programs for tragic firearm deaths.
by Bruce L. Rockwood
It is unseemly for the Press Herald to run an op-ed piece by Chris Cox, the National Rifle Association’s hatchet man for gun rights, seeking to pass the blame for recent and continuing tragic gun deaths on to the underfunded mental health programs of the state and nation (“Commentary: Exploiting tragedy to demand more gun control impedes real solutions,” Sept. 15).
…You might as well run an op-ed piece by a Taliban spokesman blaming terrorism on lack of mental health care in Afghanistan as run this piece.
Ah, comparing the National Rifle Association to the Taliban.
Does it take one to know one, Mr. Bruce L. Rockwood?
Where did you find your degrees at, Bruce L. Rockwood? A box of Cracker Jacks, perhaps?
“prof” rockwierd got his degrees out of the toilet just before flushing the rest of his waste down the sewer.
Question: Did he sleep with his (male) professors to get passing grades?

Bloomsburg University – Not exactly Ivy league.
Retired college professor – has he ever held a real job? Doubtful. This guy has no clue what life is like outside his academic bubble. He thinks that if you disagree with him, then you are stupid. Modern academics has deteriorated into this.
Smart and educated are not the same thing.
… that lil podunk U. Must be more like junior high school with ashtrays. Third rate education from second rate faculty.
I am glad that I gave over 21 years of service to my country to protest the Constitution and to protect the rights of all citizens. Even those that I feel are just passing crap from their other portal. We do not need your ‘My way is the only way’ attitude’.
We need to find a way to instill the family values in the youth who pray on the inner city areas. They need their social values.
We need to identify then help those having mental problems. We need to protect them from those who would prey on them. Finally those who are a danger to them self or others need to be removed from society and held protected from them self and others. We had Sanitariums for people with problems like those. And for people who would not other wise maintain their Meds.
Communist period!
