Cocks Not Glocks: Texas students carry dildos on campus to protest gun law

Students shouldn't be bringing guns to school. That kind of policy escalates conflicts.

Naturally you have some evidence that supports this. Where is it?

I guessed immediately that this would be about U.T. (or t.u., as the Aggies say).

Yep. They're my team. \m/

My youngest graduated from there without any protests under her belt.

LOL you think i need to provide evidence that a fight going from knives to guns is an example of escalation ?

Yes if you claim it is a general principle. If not why are you trying to pass of anecdotal evidence as meaningful? That is just dishonest.

That's not funny. This was an innocent student who was attacked on the campus by a homeless, mentally ill man.

I wasn't really trying to be funny. There was a serial rapist some years ago that used dildos to rape women.

Anyway, I'm sorry if I offended you.

You need proof that pulling out a gun escalates a conflict ...?

And maybe had the student body taken campus security seriously instead of walking around with rubber dicks in their hands...it may not have happened. You are right. It isn't funny. It is ****ing sad and illustrates that "safe spaces" are complete BULL****.

Oh--were students marching around with dildos when this young woman was raped and murdered in April? (NO.)

How does marching around with dildos translate to a disregard for campus security? (NOTHING.)

This was a protest of campus carry. It is a disregard for campus security. They want to make their campus a "gun free zone." If history has shown us anything, those are just targets. If we take a look at licensed concealed carriers, the last thing they are is a problem for innocent people. It is a disregard because instead of getting involved with cleaning up their campus and making themselves less of a target to mentally ill people...they walked around with dildos.

Granted...given one of appropriate size you might be able to beat an attacker down, but you are probably better off with pepper spray or a taser. But defense free zone idiots like these kids want to reduce their rights to self defense forgetting they are the sheep.

How many fist fights do you see on a college campus? What conflict are you talking about? How about outside of college campuses? Are you saying a college campus is the only place without conflict? Obviously you haven't ridden in traffic then.

Concealed carriers have demonstrated by the MILLIONS that they are WAY more capable of handling conflict than those who are no carriers. After all...there aren't MILLIONS of shootings in the United States.

On the plus side its Austin...the most liberal part of Texas...so plenty of the men there had dildos to share. And then they can all huddle together and have a pro Hillary after-party.

Right, the last thing we want is a student that can defend himself, a mass murderer might get shot.

You're right, there isn't a lot of physical conflict on college campuses. That's exactly why guns are unnecessary.

Exposure to risk is independent of whether or not one has a gun. The presence of the gun simply allows the bearer to much more easily kill someone else in the condition that a conflict arises.

There'd probably be more gay conservatives if conservatives weren't such hostile anti-gay bigots.

Sure, or a simple misunderstanding might turn into the death of an innocent bystander.

Oh, come on dood...dont let others hold you back. If you are a conservative you should probably be a gay conservative. If you are using others as your excuse for being a gay liberal...well...that just doesnt make any sense at all.

The paranoia and fear you display is astounding.

Gee.. if guns are allowed.. then it will escalate conflicts?..

Study after study shows that ;concealed weapons carriers are statistically LESS likely to cause crime.

Fact: In Texas, citizens with concealed carry licenses are 14 times less likely to commit a crime. They are also five times less likely to commit a violent crime. 20

Fact: People with concealed carry licenses are: 21
•5.7 times less likely to be arrested for violent offenses than the general public
•13.5 times less likely to be arrested for non-violent offenses than the general public

Fact: Even gun control organizations agree it is a non-problem, as in Texas “because there haven’t been Wild West shootouts in the streets”. 22

Fact: Of 14,000 CCW licensees in Oregon, only 4 (0.03%) were convicted of the criminal (not necessarily violent) use or possession of a firearm.

Fact: In Florida, a state that has allowed concealed carry since late 1987, you are twice as likely to be attacked by an alligator as by a person with a concealed carry permit.

A different study concludes that the four year violent crime arrest rate for CCW holders is 128 per 100,000. For the general population, it is 710 per 100,000. In other words, CCW holders are 5.5 times less likely to commit a violent crime.

That's just completely irrelevant.

My personal opinion is that gun prohibited zones are only appropriate where they will be enforced at all borders with armed guards and metal detectors.

These are not gun prohibited zones. In this case, i think colleges are free to enact policies that stipulate that the students should not be carrying firearms. The university has an obligation to secure the students, not the other way around.

Well, it certainly hasn't, that I know of, in states that permit concealed-carry on campus.
 
Yup, that sounds like t.u.

How are stats that suggest that concealed-carry permit holders are less likely to commit crime irrelevant to this discussion of concealed-carry on campus?
 
PUBLIC universities have no business acting against the private property rights of adult citizens.

Because that would absolutely be the state infringing on our right to keep and bear arms.
