I'll be as brief as I can.
My kid is attending college in a state that has nutcase gun laws. Some young men there have taken to carrying guns usually after obtaining a license either in their home state or in another nutcase state. The university bans all firearms on campus. They also ban alcohol on campus. There also is supposed to be no sex in the dorms.
So yes, the campus gun freaks routinely troop about with their weapons.
A girl on a nearby campus was recently raped at gunpoint by one of these nice, patriotic Americans. The young lady chose not to come forward becuase… well I need not explain to the women reading here. If you're a man who doesn't get it, I'm not going explain. Get education.
So, the girls in my kid’s sorority have decided they have to now always walk on campus in groups as much as possible. Because young men with guns scare them. Obviously. Especially with all the #BLM stuff going on across campuses. They also decided to get tasers. In that shit kicking inbred state anyone can walk around with a taser. You don't even need a license. They decided against getting guns, thank god. For now.
We are absolutely against her or any of her sorors carrying tasers. We are pleading with ours to transfer. To Europe. But she is an adult. At least we have convinced the girls to get proper training for taser safety. We sent research about how carrying a weapon changes your hormone balance. That at least convinced them of getting training.
Welcome to college in America, gun nut paradise. On top of everything else, note the new enlightenment of young minds. Guns. Guns and the threat of guns.
I am so fucking sick and tired of these people. Seething this morning.
