AUSTIN, Tex. - A small crowd of gun-rights advocates and those supporting Texas' new, less restrictive campus-carry law gathered near the University of Texas campus here on Saturday for a highly publicized but divisive demonstration and mock shooting in favor of ending gun-free zones.
**SNIP**
Organizers said they expected at least 20 people - and possibly many more - for the event, which took place as Texas colleges and universities prepared to put into place a new state law permitting adult owners of licensed guns to carry them inside campus buildings.
Jason Orsek, a 38-year-old construction manager who planned to play the role of a criminal in the mock shootings - a theatrical event featuring large cardboard guns - shouldered an AK-47 and clutched a cardboard sign reading, "Criminals support gun free zones."

The Ballad of Charles Whitman - Kinky Friedman

ping
Ya, this is the university where Charles Whitman was a sniper, and shot so many people years ago from the top of a tower.
Whitman was stopped, in part, by an alert professor who had a scoped rifle in his office. This was BEFORE gun free zones.
He was sittin’ up there with his .36 magnum [it wasn’t really]
Laughin’ wildly as he bagged ‘em
Who are we to say the boy’s insane?
In Texas, law, 'there ain't no such animal' as a "licensed gun"!
“...highly publicized but divisive demonstration..” How many times have you seen the NYT characterize a Black Lives Matter or other leftist demonstration as “divisive”? Probably never. Another example of biased propaganda from the perfect bird cage bottom cover.
So who is playing Charles Whitman?
HARTMAN: Do any of you people know who Charles Whitman was? None of you dumbasses knows? Private Cowboy?
COWBOY: Sir, he was that guy who shot all those people from that tower in Austin, Texas, sir!
HARTMAN: That’s affirmative. Charles Whitman killed twelve people from a twenty-eight-storey observation tower at the University of Texas from distances up to four hundred yards. Anybody know who Lee Harvey Oswald was? Private Snowball?
SNOWBALL: Sir, he shot Kennedy, sir!
HARTMAN: That’s right, and do you know how far away he was?
SNOWBALL: Sir, it was pretty far! From that book suppository building, sir!
HARTMAN: All right, knock it off! Two hundred and fifty feet! He was two hundred and fifty feet away and shooting at a moving target. Oswald got off three rounds with an old Italian bolt action rifle in only six seconds and scored two hits, including a head shot! Do any of you people know where these individuals learned to shoot? Private Joker?
JOKER: Sir, in the Marines, sir!
HARTMAN: In the Marines! Outstanding! Those individuals showed what one motivated marine and his rifle can do! And before you ladies leave my island, you will be able to do the same thing!
