I Have A gun! I Have A gun!

The Young Conservatives of Texas branch at the Houston-area Lone Star College-Tomball has been censored and threatened with campus-wide de-recognition for passing out a humorous pamphlet with gun jokes at a campus fair.

The pamphlet contained ten gun safety tips including one that cautioned: No matter how excited you are about buying your first gun, do not run around yelling "I have a gun! I have a gun!"

Said college General Counsel Brian Nelson:

The mention of firearms and weapons on colleges campuses – and in specific LSCS – Tomball – brings fear and concern to students, faculty and staff – which translates into a 'material interference with the operation of the school or the rights of others.

Is this guy joking? The mere mention of a gun sends the faculty and staff into a panic? And interferes with the operation of the entire school?

What "rights of others" is this fear-filled milksop talking about? Is there a right somewhere that guarantees none of us will ever be exposed to conversations involving guns?

This... from a Houston, Texas college. As a Texas resident, I encourage other Texas residents to not send their kids to this college... it's staff and faculty appears to fall way short of being responsible adults - capable of emotional balance - when anything less than happy thoughts are mentioned around them.

Sam Houston must be rolling in his grave.
