Here is a picture my friend took a few days ago here in Idaho, not 3 blocks from campus. Look closely at the people in the background.
This is just one of the more and more visual signs that the gun nuts are on the rise. And now they are trying to take over my campus.
Recently we had a group of students called the "Students for Concealed Weapons" hold a demonstration on our campus where they wore empty gun holsters showing support for a law that would make it okay for people to carry concealed weapons on the Idaho State University Campus. Wow, I don't know where to start with this one.
When I first heard about it I thought it was a joke. Then I saw some signs go up on campus and I took down the ones that weren't already approved by the school to be where they were, but on the public bulletin boards I took down the signs and wrote some notes on it.
One sign read
"If you were thinking of shooting a bunch of innocent people, then yourself, sorry, that is not allowed here".
Another one read
"Signs can't stop acts of violence, armed citizens can"
. I took this one down and wrote on it
"The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking that created them."
- Albert Einstein. I also wrote
"Even the most experienced and prepared gun owners still have accidents. More guns=more accidents"
.
Scared yet? Their website states
Every day millions of licensed Americans legally carry concealed handguns in movie theaters, office buildings, shopping malls, banks, churches, etc.
What a pleasant thought. I sure feel safer, NOT!
What the hell is going on in this country. Check out this "Concealed Weapons" website. It is scary. Even my liberal friends have been deceived by this crazy idea that we should have more guns to protect ourselves from the invisible enemy of terrorists and crazies.
Just what is the world coming to?
