Is this really Wisconsin anymore, or just a backwater state of
thugs? Will travelers be afraid to even drive through America’s Dairyland
paradise? Correction, make that “Carryland” paradise.
I swear, if “Stand with Walker” voters don’t react to this,
it’s all over. WSJ:
Campus Carry: GOP lawmakers want to allow concealed weapons in public college buildings: Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau This bill exempts any college or university in the University of Wisconsin System and any technical college from the law that allows a university or college to prohibit a person from carrying a firearm in any building on its grounds if the person holds a license to carry a concealed weapon.
You won’t even believe this mind numbing and irresponsible inclusion:
This bill also repeals the provision in the administrative code in which the University of Wisconsin System generally prohibits persons from carrying, possessing, or using any dangerous weapon on university lands or in university buildings or facilities.
Seriously? It's a WTF right wing moment of shear hostility.
The bill … comes less than two weeks after a gunman killed nine people at an Oregon community college.
This same GOP action is taking place in Texas, and students are holding a "Cocks not Glocks" protest, carrying dildos to class. (I'm posting this soon.)
Blame the same guy trying to vilify and keep transgender kids out of restrooms in our schools; State Rep. Jesse Kremer, R-Kewaskum. Along for the ride, state Sen. Devin LeMahieu, R-Oostburg.
Elections have consequences, agreed, but I don't believe anyone expected this:
Kremer (said) that allowing students and others to carry weapons would be a "deterrent" to crime on and around campuses.
Summing it up....
Several UW-Madison professors weighed in against the proposal on Twitter Monday. Professor Don Moynihan said, "(It's) hard to think of a policy that would make me feel less safe at work."
The worst way to respond to this outlandish idea? God this
is so disappointing and so typical of the Democratic Party:
State Rep. Melissa Sargent, D-Madison, whose district includes the Truax Campus of Madison Area Technical College: “I don’t see how this adds to the safety on campus,” she said. “Having folks walk around with concealed carry doesn’t make me feel safer.”
So how are dildos going to stop someone with an intent to kill?
ReplyDeleteThey thought of similar to a club, therefore weapon.
ReplyDeleteJust Hold on to your little whitie tighties Dems....yes it is a bad idea to have guns on a college campus at anytime..but carriers are still are required to have a LICENSE. It may not mean responsible people but it does mean accountable people. If someone is going to have a good on campus..let it be someone accountable. And I am not GOP....I am a democrat with a child in college. As it is it will take 7 to 20 minutes for the police to show up if someone is brandishing a gun. It would be 2 to 3 minutes response for a campus guard to show up. Many lives could be saved during those few crucial minutes. Think about it. It will not kill you to agree with republicans every now and then. You can still keep your stripes.
ReplyDeleteI don't base decisions on what party, but your decision is based on a GOP myth. Sorry, but fantasy world heroics is for fiction writers.
