Gun Safety Tips Shoot Down Young Conservatives
Anyone who's been to college knows that September is rush season. Rush season is a time when fraternities, sororities, and clubs attempt to recruit fresh blood.
It's a time for parties. It's also the season where tomorrow's copywriters use their creative minds and do their best to entice like-minded individuals (some may call them "clones") to join their organizations. It's the way these things are perpetuated.
If you've ever seen "Animal House", a classic John Belushi movie about how a college official reacts to the shenanigans of a pretty liberal off-the-wall fraternity, you might appreciate the irony in what happened to the Young Conservatives of Texas (YCT) at Lone Star College - Tomball.
You see, YCT wanted to hand out flyers during club rush. These flyers were a parody of David Letterman's "Top Ten" list. In this case it was a list of "Gun Safety Tips". What happened next was rather amazing.
First, the flyers were confiscated. Then the group found out that they were under investigation. There was a real possibility that they would be suspended and/or reorganized.
And all of this happened because of what would seem to many people to be a joke. Depending on your outlook and sense of humor it might be a joke in poor taste, but a joke none-the-less.
Here's what they wrote. What is your take on it?
Top Ten Gun Safety Tips
10. Always keep your gun pointed in a safe direction, such as at a Hippy or a Communist.
9. Dumb children might get a hold of your guns and shoot each other. If your children are dumb, put them up for adoption to protect your guns.
8. No matter how responsible he seems, never give your gun to a monkey
7. If guns make you nervous, drink a bottle of whiskey before heading to the range
6. While unholstering your weapon, it's customary to say "Excuse me while I whip this out."
5. Don't load your gun unless you are ready to shoot something or are just feeling generally angry.
4. If your gun misfires, never look down the barrel to inspect it.
3. Never use your gun to pistol whip someone. That could mar the finish.
2. No matter how excited you are about buying your first gun, do not run around yelling "I have a gun! I have a gun!"
1.And the most important rule of gun safety: Don't piss me off.
