They assume that because that’s essentially how campus libs treat conservative speech.

Are all capitols uber-libs? Sure seems like it.

As you most acutly observered, "Austin Aint Texas." I suspect Austin is a malignant tumor that came from California.

"Nuke if from Orbit, that is the only answer."

Just kidding about the last sentence but I assure you Austin is a politically screwed up place with an absolutely incredibly dynamic work force of high tech people that have turned a small city into a dynamic powerhouse.

Libs know how to disagree all right.

What they don’t know how to do is let others disagree.

I would agree with the professors, that widespread ccw would have a chilling effect on some campus “discussions”.

The main thing it would chill is the idea that mobs of leftist activists could threaten violence against conservatives. This may be what the professors are really concerned about.

That is to be expected, since Democrats are the Party of Government:
SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher.

Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built upon the ruins of the bowers of paradise. For were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform and irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other lawgiver; but that not being the case, he finds it necessary to surrender up a part of his property to furnish means for the protection of the rest; and this he is induced to do by the same prudence which in every other case advises him, out of two evils to choose the least. Wherefore, security being the true design and end of government, it unanswerably follows that whatever form thereof appears most likely to ensure it to us, with the least expense and greatest benefit, is preferable to all others. - Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776)

Unfortunately, Republicans are less than perfectly The Party of Society - but at least they are closer to being that . . .

The professors argued that the law could “chill” discussion of controversial topics in class because faculty members and students might fear that someone with a weapon would shoot a student or professor who disagreed with him.

Had a conversation with an idiot on a local pier - he said my gun on my hip was really really scary and caused unnecessary terror in folks. After a five minute debate, I finally said if it was so dang scary, we wouldn't be having this conversation - his eyes almost glazed over trying to come up with a response.

Easy, it is the vacuum cleaner for liberals from other States. It is like going to another world when going there for an over nighter. Makes me want to puke.

Would a court overturn a lawfully enacted statute merely because a group of professors claim that it makes them so worried that they fear to speak freely?

So far, the answer is a firm “no.”

They just didn't find the "right" judge. Yet. Liberals practically never give up....

Politicians + Academics. Like vultures roosting. They kill the tree they nest in.
