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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
