Students will pack dildos to protest guns on campus

Organised by University of Texas student Jessica Jin, on the first day of resumed classes next year (August 24) students will attach large, oversized dildos to their backpacks.

She also cites an excerpt from the University of Texas rules that says “A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly displays or distributes an obscene photograph, drawing, or similar visual representation or other obscene material and is reckless about whether a person is present who will be offended or alarmed by the display or distribution”.

According to the demonstration’s Facebook event page in Texas “you would receive a citation for taking a dildo to class before you would get in trouble for taking a gun to class. Heaven forbid the penis”.

Even in Texas, open carry is banned on a few college campuses – that is, if you’re holding a dildo in plain view.

AUSTIN, TX, US –(Ammoland.com)- Austin TX students will hold a “strap in” protest AGAINST campus carry on August 24, of 2016 by carrying dildos to class in violation of the campus’ obscenity policy. “Yeah, well I’m carrying a HUGE DILDO”, wrote Jessica Jin on the event’s Facebook page. According to Jin, it’s a fallacy (get it?) to believe guns make you safe.

Supporters of gun rights have argued that mass gunmen target “gun-free zones” such as university campuses and cinemas so they do not meet resistance when they commit their crimes. Shootings in Oregon and Arizona added to the tally of deaths by gun on college campuses.

There aren’t many countries where guns are less frowned upon than dildos, but America is seemingly one of them. It should look ridiculous to you.

The #CocksNotGlocks initiative has, of course, spawned a few serious trolling both on its Facebook page and on Twitter from gun lovers, who – in one of the more polite responses – wonder, “So, is a dildo going to protect you from the next crazed, unbalanced democrat to shoot up your campus?”

“With a huge group of students my perception is that the risk that a disgruntled student might bring a gun into the classroom and start shooting at me has been substantially enhanced by the concealed-carry law…”

Elsewhere at UT-Austin, longtime economics professor Daniel Hammermesh announced he was quitting the university out of concern for his safety-a full year before the concealed-carry law goes into effect.
