Pro-concealed carry club seeks recognition from ASUA

[SecularMotion]

Despite the struggles to find an adviser to support Students for Concealed Carry (a pro-concealed carry club) has not yet given up in pursuing the club’s recognition.

The club has been trying to find an adviser since last spring in order to gain recognition from the Associated Students of the University of Arizona. In the past three weeks, more than 700 emails were sent out to faculty and staff, requesting an adviser.

Greg Collins, a public management and policy senior and organizer of the unrecognized club, said he plans to continue emailing faculty and staff despite missing the deadline for club recognition for the fall semester.

Several people have replied that they are not interested in supporting the club nor do they agree with the issue. While some have shown interest in the club’s message, they refused to become advisers for fear of losing their job by supporting an issue that most of the majority does not support, Collins added.

2. Apparently there's a problem with academic freedom and the first amendment.

Sounds to me like it's a problem with political correctness.

5. Not political correctness

Gun-love just lost out in the Free Market of people's beliefs, that's all.

Two wolves and a well armed sheep vote on what's for dinner??

Maybe it was mob rule.

> Maybe it was mob rule.

Ah, the disdain for both the Free Market (of ideas) and Democracy appear!

15. Democracy by bullying?

they refused to become advisers for fear of losing their job

Yup.

16. Just a quote

Yuri Orlov: "It is whatever we say it is, because no one else will know the difference."

Definition of control for the more radical controllers: If enough people vote that it's not a right, then it's not.

17. keep digging!

> Democracy by bullying

You call it "bullying", I call it being concerned for public safety, and not allowing the terror that a few Delicate Flowers have (of being in public without being strapped) interfere with that.

Welcome to campus politics where nasty is the norm. One of the reasons I finally accepted tenure was so I could fight some of the crap without fear of being booted.

14. The gun-control outlook utterly depends on political correctness. nt

Goofy assed people tend to do goofy assed things.
