Self-Defense Is Not Radical
Written by Brian Garst, Posted in Education, Gun Rights
While quite possibly setting a new record for hyperbole in a press release, The Campaign to Keep Guns Off Campus argues that it is “radical” to grant college students the Constitutional right to defend themselves by bearing arms.
Contrary to the claim of their name, The Campaign to Keep Guns Off Campus isn’t actually campaigning to keep guns off campus. How can they? Banning guns didn’t do anything to stop the Virginia Tech massacre. Their objective is merely to keep legal guns off campus, so that only trouble makers and those intent on bloody murder will be armed.
They should change their name to The Campaign to Lead College Kids to Slaughter.
See here for a list of dangerous colleges that advocate the outlaw of self-defense, so you know where not to send your kids.
