... as in "gasping" for breath and "fainting" from laughing so hard at the rednecks and hayseeds in North Dakota.

 
kmmontandon [TotalFark] 2009-01-31 05:33:47 PM  
Yeah, because when I think of a great environment to toss in firearms, "crowded campuses full of stressed out, sleep-deprived, frequently drunk semi-adults" just springs to mind.

 
ecmoRandomNumbers [TotalFark] 2009-01-31 05:41:17 PM  
I still don't understand how this is a "librul" or "conservatard" issue.

How is a 22 year old not an adult?

This cultural mindset Americans have that you're not an adult until around 28 is farking irritating.

Frank N Stein: How is a 22 year old not an adult?

If that 22 year old has a job and a place of his/her own to live in. Then they are considered an adult by me.

If that 22 year old is living off government or mommy/daddy then they fall into the loser or child category as appropriate.

Since they are so close to Canada, guns should be required.

Except a lot of mouthbreathers think everything they disagree with is straight from the 'other side'.

University students are typically 18-21, not 22. And no, trust me, they aren't adults in anything but the legal sense. If guns had been allowed in the dorms that I lived in 12 years ago at a major university, not everyone would have left there alive.

Not every issue is black and white.

I'm a 'west coast librul' and I'm for allowing less gun control.

I'm a student at a fairly conservative university in a very conservative state and only law enforcement officers are allowed to carry weapons here. Big deal.

If guns had been allowed in the university I went to (a large public school), in my opinion there would have never been a single incident.

So what's your point?

Pretty much this. West coast, pretty damned liberal, gun owner.

Yeah, someone do a body count of the elected officials in ND, you might be surprised that it leans heavy democratic.

Bucky Katt: They have crime in North Dakota?

Yeah, but it's generally taken care of quickly and doesn't make the headlines unless a wood chipper is involved.

Funny, where I'm from (Kansas), liberals support ALL the amendments, not just the first.

Strangely, we just recently adopted a concealed carry law, making us one of the last three or four states in the nation to do so.

 
Ringshadow 2009-01-31 07:10:10 PM  
I'm a liberal and I'm pro-gun rights.

Also, I would have loved to have a gun while in college. They wouldn't even let me have a totally blunt sword.

Well, be fair, Kansas has had some problems with concealed weapons in the past...

If you're old enough to bear children or get someone pregnant, you're old enough to have a gun or any weapon of any strength.

You are a minority in your party. The Left as a whole is extremely pro gun-control. But kudos to you for not being a partisan zombie

You, on the other hand, get a giant raspberry for being a partisan zombie.

Are you suggesting that blue states are even remotely close to having the same gun laws as red states?
I will admit that some blue states i.e. Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire are actually pretty cool towards gun owners but CT, MA, NY, and NJ are unbearable. God forbid you want a handgun in MD or DC forget about it.

 
Tickle Mittens 2009-01-31 07:22:30 PM  
When I was at the University of Washington some girl did all the requisite paperwork, jumped through all the hoops and was allowed to carry a handgun on campus. So yeah, people were throwing fits, because that's what the fit throwers do, but the vast majority of the people I knew thought it was "interesting." And that was the extent of it. However we were all careful of Darryl, he kept a supersoaker of his own urine. You don't do that unless, someday, you intend to use it.

The atheist forum I post in (www.thearrogantatheist.com) had a Gun Thread^. I was surprised to see how irrational other Atheists were when it came to guns and gun control.

Even in the face of facts they were being irrational about the subject. I mean you think that a rational group as a whole would want to consider the facts a little more.

You speak in rhetoric. It's boring as hell. There is no Left Party in this country. And if you think Democrat = Left, you've got your head so far in the sand it's poking out in China.

We have a center Right and a far Right party in this country.

This is an issue in the Texas legislature going on now, too.
How many shootings have there been in "gun-free" universities?
How many shootings have there been in universities that respected the universal right to self defense?
I'll give you a hint: One of the answers is zero, and the other isn't zero.
