This is exactly the type of insanity pro-2A folks deal with. It’s like watching a train wreck.

Don’t bow to fear; keep college campuses gun-free zones

The headline alone is enough to make me begin to smile in wonder at how people can seriously make these arguments … I mean really …

In one year, Americans have mourned the senseless slaughter of dozens of promising lives in two terrifying mass shootings on college campuses. In each, gunmen burst into classrooms, fired to kill, then took their own lives.

You know, someone should really check into that and make it illegal to shoot people. Clearly, they shouldn’t allow guns on campuses!

The latest horrific violence took place at a lecture hall at Northern Illinois University, leaving six dead and 15 wounded. The 27-year-old shooter was described as “a very good student and a fairly unstressed person” by the campus director of public safety. It appears he began acting erratically after he stopped taking medication.

The facts in the case are evolving. But already gun advocates are busily screaming that sensible gun laws contributed to the death toll. Here’s the drumbeat: Because colleges and universities there are “gun-free-zones,” (as are North Carolina’s public campuses) the victims could not defend themselves.

Picture yourself as a college student, fucker! How would you defend yourself staring down the barrel of a shotgun being pointed at you by some crazy with nothing more than a #2 pencil and a copy of some Noam Chomsky socialist screed? Do these people think life is a cartoon? Like you could stick your fingers in the barrel a la bugs bunny and it’ll blow up in the guys face? Wascally Wabbit indeed.

And YES. Because colleges and universities are “gun free zones” and people who don’t want to get themselves in trouble have to follow the laws or be branded a psychopath themselves because they’re showing independence from the protective collectivist police state you’re so busy promoting, then sure, the only bastard armed in the place is the crazy one who doesn’t give a rats ass about being thrown in prison because he’s determined to go out in his deranged blaze of glory.

Yes, you heard correctly. To defend themselves, students, faculty and staff on campuses need to be able to pack heat. Confront a loaded gun with … a loaded gun.

I love the “Yes, you heard correctly.” Like, “Oh my God, how ridiculous is that idea! That people have to actually defend themselves with something lethal because … somebody wants to kill them! Ewww! It’s so … icky!”

Okay, YOU bring a cell phone to a shotgun fight, see how far it gets you.

That premise is absurd. It’s also dangerous. Arming campuses is no solution to incomprehensible acts of mass violence. Here’s why.

You’re going to love this …

Reality No. 1: A kid or professor packing heat would likely have increased the bloodshed and body count at NIU, not saved lives. Imagine a lecture hall with a dozen shooters going at it.

Show me one news story … anywhere … any time … where someone intent on committing mass murder was in turn confronted by a dozen individuals who somehow managed to just all shoot innocent bystanders and raise the body count. I’m sorry, your reality number one is a flat out fantastical lie borne out of watching too much Hollywood shit. Prove it.

Reality No. 2: Suicide is the second leading cause of death for college students, after traffic accidents. Statistics show far more students die by suicide than by homicide. It stands to reason having ready access to guns would sharply increase the incidence of death by gunshot wound — and of suicide.

That’s just proof of what the “enlightened side” thinks of you. You have a gun, you’re that much more likely to get a conceal carry permit because guns are allowed on campus just so you can shoot yourself when the grades are down. These people don’t trust themselves, so they can’t trust you. If individuals want to blow their own brains out, they’ll find an easier way than applying for a conceal permit and doing it in the lecture hall. These people would have you believe that there are two options - ban guns, or hand them out in the bathroom like condoms to any drunk shithead who wants them.

Think about it: Young people live in close quarters on college campuses. Their maturity and impulse control are still developing. Alcohol use is commonplace. Guns would be a tragic addition to the mix.

No, a psychopath with guns in a locked room of defenseless citizens is tragic. Giving at least one person the chance to defend himself is not tragic, it’s a human right.

Illinois has some of the toughest gun laws in the country.

Shit, that didn’t work, did it?

Illinois cities can sue gun manufacturers

After everyone’s already dead!

… background checks are required at gun shows

Which does a law-abiding individual plenty good when he’s not allowed to carry on campus!

there is a waiting period on all gun purchases

So the psychopath has a few more days to plan how he’s going to waltz into a lecture hall and fire on an unarmed crowd!

and it is one of only two states in the nation where private citizens are prevented from carrying concealed handguns.

Good on ya, Illinois! The Brady’s have you in the top 10! It’s great giving a mass murderer an easier time and preventing good lawful students from protecting their own lives. Nice job! Can family of the victims sue YOU for the dumbass law, or are you just going to hide behind “gun manufacturers” in the hopes that nobody notices the blood on your hands?

Good for Illinois. Those are all sensible safeguards that increase the chances of keeping guns out of the hands of convicted criminals or those who are mentally disturbed.

Is this serious? Good for Illinois? Sensible safeguards that … what? How do you make this argument with a straight face? It simply has to be a joke. A killer walks into a room of people who are disarmed by legislation, kills and kills himself and not a damn person had a chance to stop it because Illinois is one of “two states in the nation where private citizens are prevented from carrying concealed handguns” and you’re … happy for them?

Allow students, staff and faculty to carry weapons on college campuses? No. It’s a trigger for greater tragedy.

Losing all of your credibility being the chief tragedy on the line, I presume.
