Well, I'm not gonna speak up, what about you?

No, heck no. I wanna keep my job, though I have to keep my pro-gun cards close to my vest as I work for anti-gun despots and they'll nail my hide to the wall if I speak my mind.

Am I scared of them?

Well, I'm still here...

If I speak up, I'll walk the plank, and you know, it ain't so bad, as long as I toe the line.

Heck, I'd thrive in a country with a totalitarian government.

I could be a Broadway actor. I act like a sycophant, but deep down I have the heart of a lion. A cowardly lion, but a lion none the less...

I speak no evil.

I see no evil.

I hear no evil.

Lest you think I remained a mouse in a previous corporate life, think again.

I was something of an activist, fully appreciating I could get canned for my outspoken ideas, but somehow it never happened.

I like to think it was because I did a kick-butt job, but who knows...?

I could look at myself in the mirror in the morning.

Yeah, keep a low profile and hope you're not noticed.

Great, just great...

Jusme,

So, these pro-gun academics should lie low because speaking up pro-gun would be too much sacrifice?

I understand that being timid, meek and mild goes a long way to promote the anti-gun agenda.

Spare me your defense of the "Don't Rock The Boat or We'll Suffer Agenda".

You posted: "There is a very large contingent of campus carry advocates in the student population" - so let them carry the water, eh? They have so little to lose, while the pro-gun academics could, gulp, be in hot water... Oh my, my, we can't have that.

Ever consider that if more pro-gun academics spoke up it would greatly help the cause of being pro-self defense? Maybe if there were enough academic voices, it just might tone down the academic anti-gun folks?

As long as these pro-gun academics sit on their hands and let others speak up, while they remain mum, I remain disgusted by their gutlessness.

WildBill,

I would heartily agree if the anti-gun academics kept quiet, but they don't.

They clamor, rage, and rave against pro-gun self defense while the pro-gun academics don't look up from their reading, hoping like crazy they aren't called upon to stand up to the anti-gun zealots.

Therefore, it's incumbent upon the pro-gun academics to get off their duffs, reluctant as they are and speak up, cuz the anti's among them aren't gonna be quiet about their radical opinions.

sugar land dave,

You posted: "it's only the loonies who make the news. There are plenty of sensible professors in many schools who are fine with firearms."

This rather reminds me of the few moderate Muslims insisting, it's only a very small minority of Muslims that are terrorists.

If what you posted is true, why then don't these sensible professors speak the heck up!

It would seem, they don't dare suffer the slings and arrows of voicing pro-gun opinion, i.e., they're a bunch of wimps!

My ire isn't directed at you, but I'm curious about they're lack of stance.

I'm inclined to think if a professor stood in favor of students being armed (or faculty for that matter) it would be in the national news.

What say you?

I guess not a single anti-gun person has heard of students from a wide variety of schools being shot to death by madmen.

Better to be disarmed than a have a fighting chance of survival?

What wrong with these academic types?

Being dropped on their head when babies?

Cowardice?

Denial?

Assured, even in the face of overwhelming facts they won't arrive in time, the police will swoop in and save the day?
