UT professor not teaching

[MeMelYup]

That professor doesn't teach, he lectures. There is a big difference.

Just saw the same story on 13 news here in Houston...

Pretty amazing to me that the media reports there will be "Gun Free Zones"...

I'm glad the guy is standing behind his convictions, I hope he finds a gun free zone where he can be happy and feel safe...

I also wonder how this guy who is supposed to be an educated person presumably with critical thinking skills believes he is less safe from disturbed students once the campus carry law passes vs. today...

Does he really think that a disturbed student today will stop and think... "...well I was going to go in and shoot up my Econ 101 Class today but carrying a weapon on to campus is against the law. I guess I'll have to find a legal way to express my mental instability..."

I think we should all send him a thank you card and wish him the best of luck

What are you talking about?
All what I know is that a " Professor" is a person who professes what is in his mind" Good, bad, evil or insane, all do not matter if said professor is tenured.

Im still waiting to see what utmb in galveston does with campus carry. From what I have been told they haven't had a meeting on what places will be banned. I do have the inside scoop though.lol

Since when did criminals bother to break the law LEGALLY?

What I find interesting is that when a drunk driver kills people, the politicians blame the driver. When a person kills people with a gun, politicians blame the gun.

It is a good thing I have a good relationship with my guns. I don't worry that they will turn on me behind my back.

And that nicely sums the situation up.

Wasn't the professor stranded on a desert isle while on a 3 hour tour? Maybe got conked on the head by a coconut.

You have just seen the liberal mind revealed! They think passing a law can prevent anything and passing one that allows something like Campus Carry automatically provokes bad actions.

You must have noticed by now that when something is widely popular, it is sacrosanct, untouchable within broad limits, interference with which would be courageous. When something is less popular, any substantial opponents can wreak havoc with your freedom.

An example I have frequently used is radio antennas vs. home swimming pools. Radio amateurs are a tiny minority, so have relatively little power or influence and when someone gets their nose out of joint, or economics is involved, it is easy to restrict antennas in awkward and onerous ways. There are very, very few injuries and almost no deaths from these antennas. Home swimming pools, OTOH, are quite popular, widely desired, and no office holder would dream of banning swimming pools, despite the hideous number of tragic deaths, particularly to children in home swimming pools.

Guns are an example of the former, with relatively few, perhaps a bit eccentric, users. Automobiles, OTOH, are ubiquitous, and driving is seen as a right, contrary to the DMVs around the country which officially persist in the absurd notion that it is a privilege. The number of deaths and injuries from automobile misuse is staggering, but nothing will be done to interfere with the universal right to own and operate an automobile.

"Controversial" to a politician means it will cost you votes. "Courageous" means it will cost you the election.

Very well written article. Uses logic and reason to prove a point, instead of fear and emotion like the anti's use.
