It was a typically ridiculous piece, written at the suggestion of a particularly ridiculous person. I only accepted the "suggestion" because it didn't make any sense. Bands: Hypnotic Clambake It's not that certain branches of the media never express thoughts and ideas . about firearms, it's just that "the When: Friday, Mar. 22, 9:00 p.m. media" is such a broad category. The title of this piece could therefore just as easily conjure an image of Peter Where: Rosebud, Pittsburgh Jennings wearing a bandolier or Connie Chung throwing a grenade with Maury Povich's name scribbled all over How Much: $1 l adv/ $13 door it. Nonetheless, since life so rarely hands out lemons in the frozen vastness of Northwestern Pennsylvania, I was compelled to make lemonade. I took the suggestion and did with it the best that I could. Besides, gdris really arc one of my favorite issues to write, talk and think about. One of my favorite episodes of "The Simpsons" is the one where Homer buys a gun and joins the National Rifle Association. Just a few weeks ago . I gushed about my intense love for the local militia radio station, where guns are a birthright and Ted COMPLETE CONFUSION Kennedy is no better than King George is. How is it that something so frightening, polarizing, and at times, lethal, can consistently amuse a sick little puppy such as myself, as well as the rest of the thinking public? A few A CARTOON BY CAM TERWILLIGER simple answers come to mind. For starters, considerthe fact that grins are indelibly linked to anger and outrage. Crimes committed with the use of firearms make people angry. Taking other people's guns away from them in an effort to prevent such crimes from happening again makes people even angrier. Angry people use guns to help them vent their anger, and people who have forgotten that they were angry in the first place can be instantly reminded of such by the mere presence of a firearm. And we all know that anger sells. Hence, we have (dare I say it) "guns in the media." The press, Hollywood, cable television, advertisers and Whaddup, fools? I'm all their pencil-pushing minions know that outraged humans have a tendency to reach into their pockets when "Homey" da dwarf. they're angry and, finding no semi-automatiehunting rifles therein, opt instead to buy the latest book, magazine I or newspaper in which gun issues are discussed. Gun control advocates spend time and money drumming up I wonder if he can "beat-box..." awareness of their cause through the media. Men and women who place the Second Amendment on a par with the Ten Commandments go ballistic (pardon the pun) on CNN any time someone suggests that maybe, just maybe, twelve-year-olds shouldn't be handling weapons in their homes. The end result is our society's captiva- tion with the firearm issue. This series of facts is the reason why we see stories in The New York Times that.deal with controversial gun policies. I have seen none more ridiculous recently than one from a few weeks ago, .which sought in part to pre- pare the world for the Salt Lake Winter Games by exposing roughly how many Utah residents have traded in their common sense for a Smith and Wesson or a Glock. It seems that some folks out there in the Beehive State think that it's a fantastic idea if college students were allowed to carry concealed weapons to class. Now, I'm not talking about military replica firearms that couldn't hurt somebody if you pistol whipped them with it, like you might bring as a show-and-tell piece for a history class. No, I'm talking about the famous pistol in the shoulder holster under your denim jacket, or the Derringer attached to the elastic cord and tucked up your sleeve, ready to deploy when the teacher commandeers your AK-47 to teach that sleeping kid in the back of the classroom a lesson he'll never forget. Disney desperately attempts to appeal to a changing Currently, Utah colleges and universities are subject to a blanket ban by the state on concealed weapons in youth demographic. the classroom; soon, it could be up to the administration of each individual institution. Some administrators and professors, who I can only assume hold a Ph.D. or two, think that it's a good idea for students to be allowed to pack heat under their pea coats. They think that students will feel safer knowing that there's a possibility that one of their classmates will have at least six bullets reserved for one of those Al Qaeda goons who are always inter- fering with psychology classes at Utah State. What baffles me the most isn't that these people think guns are use- ful tools for enforcing public peace; this is why police officers carry them. What confuses me the most is 1) why Today's Horoscopes anyone would want student vigilantes to replace campus security and professional police officers and 2) why anyone would think that people'can hold an open, honest, academically free conversation in a classroom that could turn into a mob summit gone tragic in a matter of seconds. I've written papers that I don't think belong in Information courtesy of a classroom; I surely must suggest that there are other objects that are even less welcome. When two students engineered one of the greatest tragedies of our lives in Littleton, Colo., just a few years back, public school districts across the country took strides to assure that fewer guns would be brought into the www.excite.corn hallways and classrooms. This was especially present in Colorado, which has more than its share of Second Amendment zealots.
