An adjunct professor at Southern State Community College (SSCC) in Ohio is under investigation for threatening to shoot up the NRA.

"Look, there's only one solution. A bunch of us anti-gun types are going to have to arm ourselves, storm the NRA headquarters in Fairfax, VA, and make sure there are no survivors," James Pearce wrote in a Facebook post on June 13. "This action might also require coordinated hits at remote sites, like Washington lobbyists. Then and only then will we see some legislative action on assault weapons. Have a nice day."

The Highland County Press reported that Pearce's comments were sent to authorities and SSCC on June 15.

Kris Cross, Director of Public Relations for SSCC, told Campus Reform that "it is the college's policy not to comment on individual personnel matters," but did offer some general observations of potential relevance to the case.

"In general, the college would alert local authorities about any threats that were made known to the college, especially any threats made to students, faculty or staff," she explained. "We have a good working relationship with the police jurisdictions covering each of our four campuses, and trust they would follow their protocols for reporting to other agencies. As I understand it, a report does not necessarily mean an investigation."
