University bans guns, gun safety events, even pictures of guns(!)
Daily Caller ^ | 10/14/2013 | Robby Soave

Administrators at Texas Christian University repeatedly shot down conservative students’ attempts to publicize an event by using a picture of a gun, and vetoed a gun safety course entirely.

Administrators at the private university in Fort Worth, Texas prohibited student members of a Young Americans for Freedom chapter from advertising conservative commentator Bay Buchanan’s visit to the university by circulating a picture of an antique shotgun with the caption “Fully Loaded.”

Well, it is a "private" university so I guess they can do what they want. How long before youtube prohibits any firearm related videos? Isn't firearm ownership akin to racism? I know a lot newspapers won't take ads for firearms any more. Seems like "they" are trying real hard to leave the impression that no matter what, guns are evil under any circumstance and should be looked at with fear and loathing. Just the mere mention of a firearm is looked at as if you are a lunatic. How could anybody in their right mind appreciate a firearm?

How stupid.

I know where TCU is and that neighborhood isn’t safe after dark. So the university has announced, “Hey criminals! The buffet is open, come and partake”

Texas is not as gun friendly as many imagine. That is largely due to the efforts of our RINO Speaker, Joe Straus, who holds his job with support from the ‘Rats and a tiny minority of allied RINOs.

WARNING: This school is a gun free zone and is now ground zero for an attack by an insane member of the left... which I know is just being redundant!

The kids who graduated from high schools under “zero tolerance” policies that ban even thinking about guns (or gnus, if they are dyslexic) will be entering colleges.

So it’s natural to extend the no guns, pictures of guns, pointed fingers, chewed pop-tarts policies into college.

They are being trained for when they graduate and vote in elections, with push-button conditioned reflexes on how to vote and who NOT to vote for. Any candidate with certain features like respect for RKBA or one who is seen along with a gun image won’t get votes from the Pavlovian-trained voters.

Use a glue gun for the “gun” safety classes. It will make TCU look ridiculous.

Show photos of NAZIs and Communist rounding up “undesirables”, and explain that this is what happens when only the government has guns-like on the campus of TCU.

Yup. Additionally it may just show them that when only the “right people” i.e., the authorities, have guns, they quickly turn them on those that won’t “go along to get along”. Notice peons kneeling next to open trenches/mass graves with the authorities standing right behind them. You know, the “right people”.

I am currently in a rehabilitative center in Grand Rapids,Mi.,recovering from heart surgery, to correct End-Stage
Heart Failure. They implanted A Device known as a LVAD, which stands for Left Ventricular Assist Device.
It is a small electric pump hooked up to my Left Ventricle, and my Right Ascending Aorta.
The Fascists here, at Spectrum Health, Grand Rapids won’t let me acsess any site that advertises Guns, holsters, or Open Carry.Org. I do, however, have all of my firearms pictures on my computer.
Well,what can I say?
Fascism is alive in Amerika.

Hope and pray you have a speedy recovery. Don’t offend anyone by showing them the pics of your weapons. If you’re on medicare they may assign you for some evaluation for depression or mental health assessment.

This makes me very sad. I have been aware of the liberal trending of this particular university for some time, as I sometimes look at their alum literature. *sigh*

Yet again we have alleged educators preferring ignorance over knowledge. The fun part is when we confront them with this fact.

While he seems to have his hands firmly entrenched in the gambling industry and we know surely there’s no organized crime gun carrying thugs involved there, right?

Although a “private” university, it receives much gov’t funding in various forms including grants. Grants are a big source of funds at private schools and TCU prides itself on top tier researchers to ensure grant money and prestige are part of the TCU landscape. However, TCU administrators know they are in competition with a lot of other private universities and need to be reminded by alumni and prospective students that extreme anti-American and anti-safety policies will reduce applications and reduce donations. If enough people remind them, it WILL get their attention.

Take note, too, that if you are a “private” university but receive any dollars from the gov’t, you MUST comply with every gov’t rule, regulation, and requirement. In practical terms, “private” means little to a university other than some differences in financing policies such as higher tuition than state-subsidized schools.

Have you tried going through a proxy, like tor.com?

I’ll bet that our tech-savvy FReepers could find you a workaround.

Another gun free zone advertised for the next unhinged liberal democrat to go on a murder spree.

They should publish a list of those that voted for for Obama so people will at least have some chance of avoiding the wackos.

The tentacles of the communists revolution are so deeply embedded in the American culture that we are really in trouble. It would be extremely hard to filter these rats out.
