This isn't an isolated case, its just the natural sequence of liberal paranoia.

My friends son in Glendale, CA had pictures on a CD or flash drive of himself out shooting with his dad. It was the same storage device he used for homework. He accidentally left it in a school computer where a teacher found it. A swat team showed up at their house and confiscated all their legally owned guns. The son was suspended from high school for a year over it which is how they actually became our friends. They came to our Christian school. It took them about 16 months to get their guns back, legal fees and 1 gun was lost while being stored, oops.

And you libs think were paranoid when we expect to have our guns taken away. Wake up and smell the coffee. They already take guns any time they can.


Professor Called Police After Student Presentation

Posted by admin on 2/24/09 • Categorized as News

For CCSU student John Wahlberg, a class presentation on campus violence turned into a confrontation with the campus police due to a complaint by the professor.

On October 3, 2008, Wahlberg and two other classmates prepared to give an oral presentation for a Communication 140 class that was required to discuss a “relevant issue in the media”. Wahlberg and his group chose to discuss school violence due to recent events such as the Virginia Tech shootings that occurred in 2007.

Shortly after his professor, Paula Anderson, filed a complaint with the CCSU Police against her student. During the presentation Wahlberg made the point that if students were permitted to conceal carry guns on campus, the violence could have been stopped earlier in many of these cases. He also touched on the controversial idea of free gun zones on college campuses.

That night at work, Wahlberg received a message stating that the campus police “requested his presence”. Upon entering the police station, the officers began to list off firearms that were registered under his name, and questioned him about where he kept them.

They told Wahlberg that they had received a complaint from his professor that his presentation was making students feel “scared and uncomfortable”.

“I was a bit nervous when I walked into the police station,” Wahlberg said, “but I felt a general sense of disbelief once the officer actually began to list the firearms registered in my name. I was never worried however, because as a law-abiding gun owner, I have a thorough understanding of state gun laws as well as unwavering safety practices.”

Professor Anderson refused to comment directly on the situation and deferred further comment.

“It is also my responsibility as a teacher to protect the well being of our students, and the campus community at all times,” she wrote in a statement submitted to The Recorder. “As such, when deemed necessary because of any perceived risks, I seek guidance and consultation from the Chair of my Department, the Dean and any relevant University officials.”

Wahlberg believes that her complaint was filed without good reason.

“I don’t think that Professor Anderson was justified in calling the CCSU police over a clearly nonthreatening matter. Although the topic of discussion may have made a few individuals uncomfortable, there was no need to label me as a threat,” Wahlberg said in response. “The actions of Professor Anderson made me so uncomfortable, that I didn’t attend several classes. The only appropriate action taken by the Professor was to excuse my absences.”

The university police were unavailable for comment.

“If you can’t talk about the Second Amendment, what happened to the First Amendment?” asked Sara Adler, president of the Riflery and Marksmanship club on campus. “After all, a university campus is a place for the free and open exchange of ideas.”

Wow the thought police hard at work.

Last time I checked the right to carry and bear arms was according to the SCOTUS an individual right, not to mention that the right to free speech is one as well. This professor not only made a complete fool of herself, but in the processor violated the civil rights of this student. Where is the ACLU?????

Giving an in class presentation that was required the professor obviously disagreed with the topic, but to run to the police??? How is she still teaching? The administration should have immediately stepped in, and fired her. Despite the fact that university campuses have already placed so many restrictions on the rights of their students, I mean come on free speech zones, hate speech for differing opinions, but for a professor to run to the cops after a student gives a speech in a speech class. Hard to believe that it is the same liberals that call us conservatives the brown shirted Nazis when this is what they do.

I recall sitting in college at the age of 30-something being a non-traditional student listening to a professor rail about how President Bush was a fascist. I remember vividly pulling out my cell phone and begining to dial, at which the professor immediately called on me for using the phone in class and wanted to know what I was doing. I calmly informed him that I was calling the police, for if this was truly a fascist president, I should be able to have him taken out back and shot. At which point the entire class broke out in laughter. You should have seen the look on the professors face.

I took a lot of heat from the admin but I made my point, I guess that was the advantage of being a non-traditional student, I knew that the professors weren't God and that they could not fail me for my beliefs. Unfortunately, not enough college students know this and do not stand up for their rights and challenge the professors when they try to use grades to influence beliefs.

I live in Alaska. I found out some recent tidbits about Alaska watching the show Tough Jobs on the History Channel. They were doing a report on Alaska state troopers and the fact that in Alaska that the average number of guns in a home is 4.5 as compared to the 1.5 in the lower 48.

I was relieved to know that fact considering that I know own 4 guns. For a while I thought I was way above average. But since I share a house with a friend, I wonder do his 8 guns count?

It was 3 or 4 years ago. I have allot of friends in Glendale that lived under Soviet rule. They say Glendale is acting more and more like the Soviets. They stay there because it is a huge population of Armenians and Russians.

There was a gun brought to a local high school in an upper-middle class suburb of Atlanta this week. On the news, they showed pictures of a rusty revolver (that I doubt would fire) and two AR-15s. The way the news portrayed it, you would have thought the next Columbine was narrowly averted. As it turns out, the only gun brought to school was the rusty revolver. The two AR-15s were at the house of the kid who took the revolver to school! How can the police confiscate two legally-owned rifles tht had nothing to do with the crime?!? :mad:
