Obama's race won him the whitehouse It helped him with the primaries but it in no way "won" him the whitehouse. What won him the whitehouse was 8 years of Republican shit and then you get some old establishment guy coming in and people didn't want, what they perceived, as 4 more years of the same stuff. Old and established vs young and new. It was obvious who would win.
Then in 2012 it was him against someone who did a horrible job campaigning, saying 47% were desperate on government, and couldn't even outline his own plans on what to do as president, flip flopped left and right like none other to appeal to the conservative base (which was stupid because he's a moderate which is what we need), and finally had the same healthcare which Obama based his off of.
To say he won the whitehouse simply because he was black is oversimplifying it and wrong. Did it help? Yeah, but saying he won because of it is stupid, especially in 2012 when that whole "YES WE CAN" crap was done with.
let's not delude ourselves here. The 2008 election was won by identity politics. 2012 was a fair win, though.

Yeah, this is not the answer. I imagine knowing that there would be fellow students carrying a gun on them in class is going to be a pretty disturbing experience for some of the students (and teachers) there.
OH GOD
SOME PEOPLE ON MY CAMPUS MIGHT HAVE G-GUNS
OH GOD I'M SO TRIGGERED THIS IS HINDERING ACADEMIC DISCUSSION
S-STOP OPPRESSING ME SHITLORD
He does have a point. I wouldn't say disturbing. But I know if it were me I wouldn't exactly feel in pleasant company in the presence of somebody with a gun. And you've got several people here who've said basically the same thing. Knowing you, you'd probably argue that because it's concealed carry, I wouldn't know.
At which point that's honestly less of a comfort because I would know that somebody was carrying one around. Just not who.
And I notice that after a few rounds of comments from other people you've done absolutely nothing to comment on the fact that maybe it is a bit of a concern that they'd allow more people to wander around with concealed weapons.
Because it is a concern. Mainly because you can't fucking trust people for shit. Period.
Concealed carries are not a threat to you. Like at all.
The point of concealed carry is personal defence and only personal defense. Carry pistols are small pieces that do not have large magazines and shoot small-caliber bullets. Completely inoptimal for extended violence.
Concealed carriers have to undergo a background check and are subject to prosecution if they have a fuck up.
It's the guy who walks in with his gun in plain sight you need to worry about.
Also "muh feels" is not a legitimate reason to restrict carry.
And you really think that if some guy is having a bad day or he's in a heat of the moment type situation that he's going to give a shit about background checks and prosecution?
Yes. Because it's been demonstrated statistically. It doesn't matter if it's a small capacity weapon. It's still a weapon and it can be used to kill somebody, easily. Disregarding it just because it's not capable of mass violence doesn't negate its potential danger. A small car has far more capacity to inflict violence than a carry piece. And if you want to drag "muh feels" into this, then let's talk about how "muh feels" is literally the basis of this new law. Somebody in parlament is getting a little spooked with all these campus shootings so they figure throwing more guns into the mix might help. That's not what muh feels is, fam. So let's not drag the whole "muh feels" horse shit into this because the entire fucking argument about guns on both sides in america is based around feelings.
it's really not. The left has a muh feels camp on the issue but I'll admit that doesn't make up the entire anti-gun left.

How the fuck does concealed carry stymie discussion? The point of it is you don't know they have it.
That's sort of the point. You don't know who's going to have a gun, but you know that somebody will.
Congratulations, you've just explained how concealed carry discourages assault in a setting where it is popular. How this discourages discussion I don't see. It's a campus- too few people even believe gun ownership should be allowed for carry to be a common thing. No heated discussion in a classroom is going to lead to violence. The suggestion that concealed carry somehow leads to some kind of universal intimidation and silencing is silly as hell. It takes some serious straw-grasping to get there.

Anyway public universities should allow concealed carry but not open carry.
Private universities can do whatever they think is best.

http://bridge.caspio.net/dp.asp?AppKey=36701000b255adcfe6ca4b13a8a4My home county's police are buying a lot of night vision devices, AR15s and 7.62 rifles, but in single purchases instead of bulk. I want to know what the fuck rifle in 7.62 only costs $138, and what populace I have to start threatening with force to buy them. The county I'm living in bought entrenching tools for some fucking reason.

Perhaps we should stop sensationalizing these.
They do seem to happen in clusters.
Oh but wait.

I cheated on a long-term girlfriend three times this year. I genuinely never thought I'd be that kind of guy, even a week before I started.
But when I did, honestly, I had trouble even feeling guilty.
So maybe it is true. I don't really know. I don't intend to cheat on anyone again.
Sounds like you're a pretty shit person, m8
I never claimed not to be. I've learned my lesson, for what it's worth. If you really feel like you should cheat, get out of the relationship then and there. It's dead now and you and your partner are both better off without it. She never gave me much shit for it, I ended up ending the relationship myself.
