Great article. Sounds like students are beginning to rebel against the collegiate PC insanity.

Girls & Guns

I asked Sarah Hunt of the University of New Mexico to describe an event at her school called "Buy Your Girl a Gun Day," and what she outlined is interesting and hilarious:

"UNM is the rape capital of the Southwest, and a girl technically can't even carry a pocket knife on campus to defend herself (UNM Code of Conduct). I think this is nuts. The College Republicans wanted to do something to celebrate the passage of New Mexico's concealed carry law. Thus, Buy Your Girl a Gun Day was born.

"CRs brought in the NRA and New Mexico Gun Owners to do an information table with us. We tabled with them and passed out, "Rapists love women who hate guns," and "The ultimate in feminine protection," flyers (the flyer borders alternated lipstick tubes and hand guns). A local shooting range donated some range passes, and we gave those away, too. The concealed carry law was carried by a woman state representative and we had her come in and speak at our meeting that night. She's a former Army captain with pink hair; the woman kicks. We ended up on all the nightly news broadcasts and in the "real" Albuqerque newspapers. The only regret I have is that we didn't chalk "I Shot A Rapist Here" all over campus.

"Would you believe all this made the Women's Studies Department administration furious?"

Other campus groups might want to look into trying this out...The College of William & Mary has had two rapes this year, and I know something like this would be a great way to fire up debate. — Ben Domenech

The CRs have always been good at doing semi-outrageous things that annoy lefties. >:)

One point: There's an old Tommy Shaw song from the mid-80s called "Girls With Guns".

"Girls with Guns"...been a while since I heard that one. Good tune, as I recall.

I'm glad to hear of one College Republican chapter actually doing something constructive. The CRs at my old school didn't do anything but attend seminars on how to conduct campaigns and sit around beating their pigeon chests talking about the military. Way to go, NM CRs!

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Girls with guns are SEXY.

I shot the rapist, but I did not shoot the deputy.

"Would you believe all this made the Women's Studies Department administration furious?"

Yes. They are socialists first. At the very top of the socalist agenda is the need to disarm the people so that the socialists can't be stopped once their plans start to go in the crapper (as socialism always does).

I am inclined to agree...

I was a CR chairman in the mid 80s and we did a lot of things to annoy lefties. Every chapter is different I suppose.

Hi Jerrybob! UNM isn't the only institution of higher learning where the "girls" are going ga-ga for guns. Here in the People's Republic of Taxachusetts, would you believe that Mt. Holyoke -- one of the Seven Sisters -- has a very active Second Amendment Sisters chapter, and those girls -- most of whom are underage so unlicensed -- make regular field trips down to the shooting range?

I just love it! The times they are a-changin'! best, bb.
