You Have The Right To Bear Arms... And Dildos

Because nothing protests gun laws better than a pink, plastic penis.

You Have The Right To Bear Arms... And Dildos

UT Austin students protest right to “campus carry” laws by strapping dildos on their book bags. Yes, you read that right. #CocksNotGlocks

What is the best way to protest the passing of a law that allows students over 21 years of age to carry guns on college campus? Students at UT Austin were struggling and had to think long and hard *wink wink* to find an answer to this question. Unfortunately for them, they couldn’t have found a worse possible answer.

Protesters planned a Cocks Not Glocks rally Wednesday, August 23 and handed out over 4,000 free dildos of all colors, shapes and sizes (they don’t discriminate) to students looking to protest the newly passed gun laws.

Student at UT Austin, Ana López, said, “We’re fighting absurdity with absurdity.”

Absurdity spread fast across the campus when hundreds of students showed up to receive free sex toys to protest gun laws. At one point, crowds got so large, organizers threw full boxes of dildos into the crowd to quicken distribution.

Despite spirited protests and lawsuits from three professors, a judge over-ruled and the right to carry law went into effect on August 1. The law stated that public universities are not allowed to restrict permitted weapons on campus, except for some “gun-free” areas such as professors’ private offices. Students are allowed the right to carry handguns in all classrooms and other such spaces.

The Dallas Morning News writes, “Public school officials can establish some ‘gun-free’ zones, so long as they are ‘reasonable’ and don’t have the effect of generally prohibiting guns on campus.”

The law only permits those with concealed weapons permits to carry guns. To obtain a CWP, an individual must undergo a criminal background check as well as attend proper gun handling/safety classes.

The basis for these protests may be rooted in a misguided fear of guns, but the validity of the protest was completely destroyed when pink dildos were used to make their point.

Not getting the connection between dildos and handguns? You’re not alone.

Creator of the #cocksNOTglocks movement, Jessica Jin, was struck with the epiphany of using plastic penises for the protest after discovering the University's code of conduct prohibits obscene devices as they are defined in the Texas Penal Code.

Some brilliant minds of UT Austin believe that the abnormal and skeptical attitude people have toward seeing students sporting sex toys on their person or strapped to their book bags is how all people should feel regarding people carrying handguns.

One student explains, “We wanted something fun that people could really engage in. Because it’s hard to get involved in the political process at our age, people our age don’t tend to vote or get involved, and this is so easy. Strap a dildo on and you’re showing the Texas legislature this is not a decision we wanted.”

Right, so to make politics easier for millennials, lets throw in some plastic penises, NSFW t-shirts, and banners withs slogans like "You’re Packing heat, I’m Packing Meat"and "Take it and Come".

So, throw away your voter registration cards. To be politically active, all you need is a plastic penis.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
