If you’re disturbed by the increasingly violent tone of leftist rhetoric in the aftermath of President Donald Trump’s election, this story won’t make you feel any better. Kevin Allred, who worked as an adjunct professor in the Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies program at Montclair State University, ranted on Twitter about the president that, “I wish someone would just shoot him outright.”

That same day Allred tweeted an image of Kathy Griffin holding a model of President Trump’s severed head with the caption, “Mood.”

Allred previously lost a teaching gig at Rutgers for tweeting, “Will the Second Amendment be as cool when I buy a gun and start shooting at random white people or no … ?” Judging from this latest incident, he doesn’t seem to be very good at learning his lesson. But it’s worth noting that he no longer shows up on the faculty page for his program at Montclair State—maybe his extremist threats aren’t doing him any favors when it comes to holding down a job.

On March 2, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in U.S. v. Hemani. The case involves a defendant who is fighting a federal indictment for possessing a firearm while being a marijuana user.

A lot of things have occurred over the past month or so that not all members are completely aware of. I’ll use my column this month to update you on some important issues—transparency.

Standing Guard | The NRA Gathers to Celebrate Our Freedom

The momentum we’re seeing across the country is both encouraging and energizing. January opened with tremendous activity at the NRA booth during SHOT Show, where members, industry partners and supporters stopped by to connect, share ideas and reaffirm their commitment to freedom and the Second Amendment.

Port Authority Doubles Down on Constitution-Free Zone with High-Profile Arrest

As anyone who has passed a basic civics class knows, the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. All legislation and official government actions are subject to its limits.
