Students at the University of Texas at Austin will protest a new law that will allow more guns on campus.
Instead of signs, the students are protesting by "strapping gigantic swinging dildos to our backpacks," which is in violation of the campus' obscenity policy.
Jessica Jin, who set up the Campus (DILDO) Carry event on Facebook, invokes the argument that allowing more guns on campus will make students safe is a fallacy. She's urging students to send campus leaders that message by strapping on the plastic phalluses.
"You're carrying a gun to class? Yeah well I'm carrying a HUGE DILDO," Jin says in the group's description. "Just about as effective at protecting us from sociopathic shooters, but much safer for recreational play."

I got the wife a magic wand. She has been pleased with it.
Oh wait...this is about concealed guns.....nevermind
Just realized "guns" can be used in a "different meaning"....damn I'm a pervert.
But kudos to the students exposing the hypocrisy...against campus policy to have a dildo in class, but concealed guns? No problem.
