In reply to the discussion: Weapons common on Oregon college campus despite 'gun-free zone' [View all]Decoy of Fenris

I think he's been genuinely taken in by the left-wing's version of Wayne Lapierre, believing in her grandstanding and proselytizing and propaganda. He may genuinely mean well but has been grossly misinformed by masters of deception. Remember, Watts was a PR personality before this whole "Moms" thing; Deception, spin and deceit are by definition what she does/did for a living.
I'm not one to fault someone for falling for propaganda; many are easily taken in by such things. It's our job and our privilege to educate them, and publicly, so others can observe the fault in the argument being made.

Respectfully, carrying a weapon is for self-defense, not strategic law enforcement...

That should be changed. No reason to coddle terrorists on university campuses.
