He wasn’t so brave once the gun was pulled: he ran away and I got a restraining order. I tend to think he was more afraid of the gun and my pulling back the hammer than he was a piece of paper.

But the point is, in life-and-death situations, the only role police usually play is to run yellow tape around a victim’s bloody body. Hardly anyone commits a deadly assault in the presence of police officers—imagine that!! And when someone breaks into your home bent on rape and/or murder (and how the hell can you tell at the time?), a person has mere seconds to defend themselves—IF they wake up or can run fast enough. By the grace of God, I could.

Of course, snarky liberals CAN’T imagine that—they can’t process such facts—which is just one reason they are utterly irrelevant, contemptible douche-nozzles.

Lewd&Lascivious’s last blog post..Obama, Bend Over Like the Buttboy You Are

Regarding your concern that stressed students might not be able to control their handguns, what are you basing this on? College students in Utah and Colorado are allowed to have guns on campus and there hasn’t been even one “unintentionally” firing of a weapon. Citizens all over the country are permitted to conceal and carry, and I’m sure some of their jobs must be stressful, yet they don’t unintentionally fire their guns either. Odd, isn’t it?

Tieki, Tieki… you don’t get it. There is but a mere filament of grace between us and a deranged Cornell student who would gun us all down to relieve some stress before exams. Without the omniscient and omnibeneficient police, we would be at the mercy of frat boys who had just done a keg stand.

The fact that a nice young lady might find herself NOT raped, with the aid of her concealed firearm, after encountering said hypothetical inebriated frat boy, is beyond the point. This is the modern version of a sacrificial virgin; the gods, this time, are those of Leftism and not fertility (oddly enough, a perfect juxtaposition).

Furthermore, as a Cornell student who is frequently stressed myself, I don’t typically kill people using methods other than firearms when I’m feeling especially anxious. Why would a gun change that? To some extent you could say a gun is easier to shoot, but poison is rather easy to put in someone’s food. When I’m driving, it would be quite simple to run over a pedestrian. Heck, I may be a little on the wimpy side but what is stopping me from physically attacking others when I’m stressed?

Oh right, common sense and lack of desire to actually kill someone, go to prison, and die. Giving me a gun is not going to change any of that. It will however, change a situation in which an armed gunman arrives at campus ready to kill. In such a case, I and other like-minded and like-armed students would have a better chance at saving our lives and the lives of others.

I’m going out on a limb and saying that they are the same person. Nah, It’s not even a guess.

“One commenter decries the notion of allowing 18-21 yr. olds to own handguns.”

First of all, what appropriate names you have chosen for yourself. And, it is no wonder you agree with each other as you are the same person — same email address, same IP. Aren’t you clever?

Secondly, Cornell hockey may inspire strong emotion, but it’s not exactly European soccer or a jihadis-r-us conference. I sincerely doubt that 1) most of the Lynah Faithful would even want to conceal and carry and 2) those that do would be the sort of people to shoot up the town after the Big Red gets beat by Harvard.
