Guns should be carefully registered - Purdue Exponent: Editorials

This article was written by an obviously UNEDUCATED (in firearms) liberal arts student Feel free to clarify her "imperfections."



Note: I don't think this is a duplicate, haven't seen it posted yet.

Someone needs to take her to the range.....

Was my thought too (amongst others)

I think this...

"Rachel Rapkin is a sophomore in the College of Liberal Arts"

...explains a lot. And, yes, she needs some education outside the walls of Purdue's lecture halls.

some of the comments are laughable too. I like the Concealed carry permit one.

I am so glad that the police and military personnel have been stripped of there emotions so they can handle guns safely! That is the kind of idiotic fear that comes from not having a clue!! Obviously all of her research was done watching TV!

hey now! lol im in the school of liberal arts here at IUPUI...but at least im actually educated on firearms and recognize the absolute nonsense that is being spread through this article; people like this are absolutely ridiculous and need to learn to think for themselves outside of what their college professors tell them.

Props to you. I don't think I could stand a class from professors in that school due to spreading crap like this lol

The title of the article is some what misleading. It didn't seem to touch on registration much at all other then briefly in the last paragraph and even then the point she was trying to make was not clear to me.

"I wouldn’t be able to concentrate in class because I would be thinking about how many students could have a gun near me."

Me too sweetheart, me too.

it is hard to deal with at times, but my classes are geared towards criminal justice, so its not always so bad, im majoring in sociology with a focus in criminal justice with a minor in criminal justice, i actually found it surprising how many of my professors are actually pro 2A

That is surprising

 

[ratames]

I second that. I see lots of opinions but not a lot of facts. Language sounds awfully young and that was confirmed when I saw the by-line.

Someone said you have to be 21 to get a LTCH. I got mine at 19, many get them at 18. I can't reply because I don't a Facepalm account or whatever it's called. Could someone correct him?

 

[mtgasten]

That is surprising

now, they may be pro 2A BUT im not sure how all of them feel about carrying, i wonder how that debate would pan out in a classroom setting, im sure people on here have done before, i'd like to sit in on that.

They are definitely out there, when I worked at the gun store in MI some of my best customers were faculty from both MSU and U of M. Built a couple of 1911's for the U of M guy too.

I am a recent graduate of IUB. It seems that a primary objective of many college professors is the indoctrination of young minds. I always found it funny to see how quickly a learned professor could sway the minds of underclassmen when discussing whatever topic was 'hot' in the news. It's a shame more high schools do not emphasize the importance of being able to think for yourself. More kids would have a fighting chanc when they arrive at college and are attacked by the left.

I found her email address in the Purdue directory and sent her a lengthy email discussing a few points. She's been given links to INGO and a few threads regarding self-defense using a gun. We'll see if I hear back.

That young lady should understand it was Gun Control that killed and wounded the people in Aurora. The Scum Bag knew where the guns would not be that evening.
