Rutgers students come close to having self-awareness of their current standing in the world & then fail. But, hey, they came close for a moment.

Future walking resupply pods for killer zombies opine: Free gun giveaway makes no sense.

And yet, they admit that:

"Maybe we are just hopelessly out of touch with modern society or maybe our status as college students from New Jersey is preventing us from understanding why people in Montana seem to love guns so much."

Yes, and, yes.

If you had to be canonnized before owning a gun, these poor excuses for human beings would probably bar the church door in protest. Self defense a human right?

I would doubt any of them would accept a 50 dollar pizza certificate instead. And these are to be the educated elite? indyjones; March 28, 2011 at 10:45 AM
TPaine said...: This is hilarious! Typical college students who can't think unless their professor holds their hand. In the upper right-hand column is an ad for a violent video game, complete with buxom babe holding an awesome future weapon. Stee-rike ONE! Then they liken the RS give-away to a clothing shop that gives away cigarettes with a shirt purchase, stating that "cigarettes only kill one person...while guns can kill many people." I thought these lefties permised that 2nd-hand smoke killed thousands of non-smokers. Stee-rike TWO! But the best part is that they cannot fathom the success of the RS give-away. They are blind who cannot see. Stee-rike 3, and yer out!; March 28, 2011 at 11:32 AM

"Why do ditch-diggers love their shovels so much?"

"Why do gandy-dancers love their pick-axes so much?"

"Why do (computer) geeks love their computers so much?"

There are some people who just don't understand the need and usefulness of tools even though the industrial revolution has been long past and we are in the information age which requires the need for computers (obvious and embedded) and connection to the Internet.; March 28, 2011 at 2:34 PM

College newspapers are the bastions of non-thought and absurd reductions of immensely complicated issues (abortion, the Middle East, whatever, take your pick) to statements akin to "This is the why I think it should be, so it should be so, and anyone who thinks otherwise is plainly an idiot." Granted, not much different than mainstream media, but they have the common decency to not be to blunt about it.

For the record, the gun laws in New Jersey are set up as exceptions to the state constitution; in that actually owning a gun is a legal exception to the status quo of not being able to own a gun. You read that correctly.; March 29, 2011 at 12:57 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
