Reminds me of this staged drunk driving accident thing that was acted out live before prom so we wouldn't drink and drive. Looking back on that, it was pretty disgusting .. Probably a better way to explain these kind of things.

 

[Femmeworth]

Had to be my state.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Of course he'd be wearing a fedora...

 

[JCX]

Wait so are the people who are getting shot actors portraying crisis actors, or are they crisis actors playing actors playing crisis actors?

 

[Ferrio]

Ironically this would probably be the best cover for a real shooter.

 

[Wreav]

I'm cringing from goddamn half a planet away. Texas sounds like a carnival of crazies.

It's getting worse by the week here. Send help.

 

[Somnid]

We want criminals to fear the public being armed

How often are mass shooters afraid of being shot at? I'd assume if it's not the end goal it's at least expected?

 

[Two Words]

I'd love to see their reaction to minorities openly carrying firearms around the places they work/live/visit.

 

[John Kowalski]

stranger than fiction

 

[levious]

Seems rather insensitive given the campus' history.

 

[Man Called Aerodynamics]

Could these idiots be any more aggressively tone-deaf.

 

[Shard]

What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Ferr986]

Why? I mean.... what do you accomplish with this?

 

[RefigeKru]

The new campus carry law, which goes into effect in August, will allow people with concealed weapons permits to carry their handguns into dorms, classrooms and other public university buildings

Hahahahaha

but why

why do you need to be carrying a gun during a University lecture?

 

[UnemployedVillain]

It's "mock campus shooting" not "mock shooting of unarmed black males."

Something tells me if they had black members in their group they'd be one and the same

 

[Ray Down]

Any chance UT can just stop this?

 

[Pyramid head]

“We love freedom and we’re trying to make more freedom,” he said.

I thought this was a joke quote aimed at summing up how ridiculously moronic their stance is, then I went back and re-read it.

 

[DarthWoo]

Hahahahaha

but why

why do you need to be carrying a gun during a University lecture?

To protect you from all the other people carrying guns during University lectures. Duh.

 

[Wreav]

Hahahahaha

but why

why do you need to be carrying a gun during a University lecture?

Worse than that, having guns in dorms is a FUCKING TERRIBLE IDEA.

If I had a nickle for every stupid stunt I saw pulled in our dorm, I'd be Trump.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

For any of you that live here in Austin, this is the same group that will usually hang on an overpass (last year was over 183 near arboretum I believe) with their rifle guns on an annual basis.

Sounds terrifying. Has it not caused accidents?

[FStop7]

How did I know he'd be wearing a fucking fedora.

 

[Raxus]

Tonight's South Park just got that much more relevant.

 

[Zeke]

Oh fuck these stupid assholes right in the ass. I hope UT is able to keep these idiots off campus. I work in higher ed and everyone in my department today have been bitching about this. There is no god damned reason you need your fucking gun on campus.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Any chance UT can just stop this?

I wish, but since we are an open carry state, don't know what they can do.

 

[Akuun]

“We want criminals to fear the public being armed,” Short said. “An armed society is a polite society.”

Yes, because a polite society involves everyone always being capable of instantly ending lives - whether intentionally or unintentionally - at any time.

Of course.

 

[Sesuadra]

Hahahahaha

but why

why do you need to be carrying a gun during a University lecture?

Just in case you are out of arguments in a discussion?

 

[norm9]

Worse than that, having guns in dorms is a FUCKING TERRIBLE IDEA.

If I had a nickle for every stupid stunt I saw pulled in our dorm, I'd be Trump.

I'm imagining lots of drunkos spinning their pistols like cowboys trying to impress other drunkos.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Uhhh.....

 

[Black Republican]

are they gonna teach youth to defend themselves against trigger happy cops?

 

[shacklesmcgee]

why is there a flag of a dildo that says "come and take it"?

 

[Paltheos]

Absolutely nothing could go wrong.
Totally not putting a target on themselves.
Nope.

 

[Super Nothing]

Weird because I'd rather be insulted by an unarmed man than shot by an armed man.

I've always hated that quote because it suggests that you're only polite because you're afraid of being shot for being rude. I'd much rather put up with a little rudeness every now and then than have to worry about some asshole drawing on me for making a sarcastic comment. It's fucking ridiculous.

 

[Squalor]

Of course he'd be wearing a fedora...

Exactly how I imagine all of NeoGAF's and Reddit's gun nuts.

Well, not "exactly." He's thinner.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

I can't


I give the fuck up.

 

[DrSlek]

um......

uh......

I've never even heard of such a thing before.

After the Charlie Hebdo attack, some Gun rights group did a simulation of what would have happened if the victims were armed.

If I recall correctly the "heroes" were quickly killed in every variant of the scenario.

[Pop-O-Matic]

No, but they will teach them how to spot dangerous African-American youths...

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Sounds terrifying. Has it not caused accidents?

I don't know if you mean traffic accidents or gun accidents, though it's quite macabre to search for "gun accidents at gun shows."

 

[zeemumu]

University of Texas students don't need guns. They could break the president in two...

WITH THEIR BARE HANDS!!!

They don't have a Campus PD?

 

[Wreav]

I guess #CocksNotGlocks didn't work out as planned.

[platocplx]

I hope that one day I wake up and the majority of americans dont believe they can shoot their way out of any situation.

I could bring up so many examples of how an armed person may either shoot and kill an unintended target and/or get their gun taken away from them and then lose their advantage.

There is a very small window of opportunity where a gun owner has an advantage and that include them having a loaded weapon near them at all times which can be extremely unsafe.

Just kind of sick of this grandiose idea that guns automatically make your home and person extra safe at all times.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

I don't know if you mean traffic accidents or gun accidents, though it's quite macabre to search for "gun accidents at gun shows."

Traffic, and the gun accidents at gun shows is interesting. The place where gun safety should be at the forefront of everyone's minds.

 

[kaching]

Chivalry's not dead, you just need a high capacity magazine to blow the door open for someone.

“We love freedom and we’re trying to make more freedom,” he said.

The Onion couldn't something more surreal. Amazing.

 

[studyguy]

Becoming an action hero is an effective means to deter terrorism. Just gotta make sure you have your witty one liners ready.

 

[Scirrocco]

This sort of thing demonstrates exactly whats wrong with the mindset of these groups. No one schedules actual mass shootings. Its always their argument wouldn't you like to have a gun if x happened. And usually, the answer is yes, i would.

If there was an armed maniac running around killing people, i would definitely like to have a gun to stop at least discourage him. But in order to have a gun for the occasional situation , i have to have a gun around at all other times, including most

Someone at UT should perform a mock armed road rage incident, or mock armed walking in on your wife/girlfriend cheating on you, or a mock armed getting drunk because Im super depressed I lost my job and am about to become homeless as protest, to show all the times having a gun around could be harmful.

"all i need is a glock and a dream"

 

[StMeph]

Seems rather insensitive given the campus' history.

This in particular. Protesting about it is one thing, and staging something like that invites something incredibly stupid to happen, but it's also incredibly insensitive to history there.

Someone completed the trifecta.

The only thing funnier than the result is the mental hoops they jumped through afterward:

“I still got killed but I did better than I thought I would,” volunteer Parks Matthew told a local CBS affiliate.

“If I’m in a movie theater and someone pulls a gun, what am I going to do?

“I know now I’m not gonna just fall on my kids and protect them. I need to advance on the threat.”

 

[KevinCow]

This just seems disrespectful as fuck to the actual victims of actual shootings.
