8 thoughts on “Concealed Carry On Texas Campuses”

      1. Rand, that’s why I brought Professor “The Gift Who Keeps on Giving” up in the conversation . . . I could not pass this up.

      2. Guns on a college campus are also like that line from Woody Allen’s “Sleeper”: “We believe that the War started when a man named Albert Shanker got ahold of a nuclear device . . .”

        I saw the film and laughed, but only later did I learn he was the militant leader of a union representing teachers in New York City.

        Speaking of inside jokes, much is being made of Bernie Sanders declaring himself to be as sensitive to women’s concerns as his opponent because no less than “Gloria Steinem declared that I was an honorary woman . . .”

        Our side is reacting, oooohhh, honorary woman, is he pandering? Is he “coming out” about “transitioning?” Is Bernie Sanders just plain silly (OK, OK, yes).

        Look at the clip and look at the facial expression and body language. The good senator doesn’t believe that he is an “honorary woman” — instead, he seems to think that he is Woody Allen . . .

    2. I have a hard time believing a professor who is teaching about issues surrounding 50 Shades of Gray is willing to touch reality in a way required to handle a gun.

      1. Bro, do I have to explain-it-to-you what 50 Shades of Gray along with all those Twilight movies are all about?

        These are “women” films where the stories are from women meant for their sister women. 50 Shades of Gray had a woman writer and a woman director who were arguing with each other, one wanting more on screen s3x and the other wanting more on screen beatings.

        I mean, the main character is this barely-out-of-teen-age woman who falls for this billionaire-entrepreneur-next-door 30-something dude (do I have this right so far). OK, you guys around here who have a daughter — how many young billionaire-entrepreneur guys are there for your daughter to date. None, it is like winning the lottery, I don’t care how smart and witty and charming and pretty your daughter is, she just isn’t dating some billionaire-guy. It is a fantasy, it is made up, it is “fairy-tale” stuff, it is pretend, it is made up (I guess I already said that) — do you see where I am heading with this (no, bro, not about your daughter but about the women who write this kind of stuff).

        So not only does this young woman encounter an attractive, young billionaire who is interested in her, he has a torture room and requires his date to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

        A real life smarty, witty, pretty young woman has a somewhat more wise mom who will tell her, “Honey-dear-sweetie, that he is a billionaire entrepreneur who is young, good looking, and likes you is all very well and good. But he has a torture . . . room . . . and wants you to sign a . . . non . . . disclosure . . . agreement. Sweetie, this is not just me as your Mom saying this, you are young, smart, witty, and pretty, and this billionaire with the torture room . . . look, there are a whole lot of other guys . . . like my friend Sonia’s son . . . he is finishing medical school, interning as a dermatologist, doesn’t have a girl friend, and although he isn’t a billionaire, the two of you will be . . . comfortable! He doesn’t have a torture room, or at least I don’t think he does . . .

        OK, OK, I am getting to the point. Said young, smart, witty, pretty young woman could tell herself without her mom or friends staging an “intervention” that, gee, he is not much older than me, already a billionaire, and he likes me! Only he has that torture room — forget this, I’ll take Mom up on the offer to go on a date with Sonia’s doctor son.

        No, no, women are not men-engineers who believe in constrained optimization — there are no constraints here. He is a billionaire entrepreneur who likes me, and yes, there is that torture-room problem, but I will get him to change! This billionaire who likes me will commit to me and swear off this torture room and we will have hot s3x without all that “other stuff” — I will “change him” and I will have everything!

        Guys, do you get what I am trying to say? In those Twilight films, the guy . . . is a vampire! I mean, how disqualifying does that get from the standpoint of a woman? But no, he is cute, yes, and that vampire thing is icky, but he will like me so much that we will give up that vampire jive! I will get him to change!

        So no one around here is a billionaire entrepreneur, yet, let alone one who has a torture room, or gosh forbid, drives a Tesla to show how environmentally responsible he is. And none of you guys, including “Jim” is a vampire — that we know about. It doesn’t matter. There is some part of you that isn’t “perfect”, and the woman who has set her sights on you is going to straighten that out, straighten you out — she is going to “change” you.

        Wooo! That thought is scarier than any billionaire-entrepreneur with a torture room or any teen guy from a vampire family . . .

  2. A “direct assault on our free speech rights.” Fascinating. I don’t think it’s a stupid argument, I think it’s the truth. People from their part of the world (mine also, I’ll add) think of guns as scary, aren’t used to them. Policemen have guns, and anyone with any brains has been trained to step carefully where they’re around. No sudden moves, don’t get out of the car, speak politely…
    They probably would indeed feel impeded in their free speech by their image of that student who is on the verge of pulling out his piece if they get him upset.
    On the other hand, I’m not willing to knuckle under to the darling little cream-puffs just because they feel impeded.
    And they would be a lot more impeded in their free speech if a mass murderer decided to target their campus. And won’t now, because someone would shoot him.

    1. When first started at university the entire freshman class was subjected to a “don’t rape women” lecture by a policewoman with a stereotypically lesbian haircut and a pistol on her belt. So cry me a freakin’ river.
