It's been a while since I've last written a post.
Why is that, you ask?
Because life is boring.
I do the same thing every day.
Nothing to write about.
But, I searched my little brain for something to entertain you with
(Or at least try to entertain you with)
And I've come up with at least something.
I hope...
There's a lot of talk going around these days about guns and the right to carry them or should we ban all guns and blah blah blah.
Well, I'm going to voice my opinion about the matter.
Because people are making me angry.
Governor Walker of Wisconsin has recently passed law that had made it legal for licensed citizens to carry concealed weapons on campus.
I am NOT okay with this.
Let me tell you why.
I get all the "pro" arguments, I really do.
If some crazy wacko really wanted to come onto campus with a gun and go crazy and shoot people with it, they would.
Whether it was legal or illegal to carry a gun on campus in the first place.
And I completely agree.
Having a law against carrying a weapon isn't going to deter someone's intention of shooting others.
But when the Governor says it's okay for students to carry guns on campus, then I have a problem.
A big one.
Guns are {not} needed on campus.
At. All.
There is absolutely no reason anyone would need to carry a concealed weapon onto campus property.
People like to use the excuse: protection.
Well let me tell you something about protection.
If people weren't allowed to carry guns in the first place, I wouldn't need a gun to protect myself from other guns.
Someone told me, "Well, you're a little girl. Now you can go jogging or walking alone at night on campus and not have to worry about getting raped."
If girls are worried about getting raped, and therefore need a gun to protect themselves, here's a tip:
"Don't go walking or jogging through the wooded trails on campus at night. Alone."
Use your brains.
Not a gun.
If you want to protect yourself, learn self defense.
Sleep with a bat next to your bed.
Get a guard dog.
Not a gun.
I just think there are different ways of protecting yourself.
Maybe I'm naive.
I think allowing people to carry guns in the first place is the problem.
I guess there's the whole hunting argument, but fine. Use your gun to kill a deer.
Not a human.
And do not bring that gun onto campus.
There is absolutely, positively no reason to need it on campus.
And I think that the Governor is an idiot to think otherwise.
