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

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

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.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
