Refuse to Be A Campus Victim Event


We owe a lot to the American founding founders; they instituted a Constitution that has kept America the brightest beacon of freedom in the world.

But why was the right to bear arms so important to them? They understood that the 2nd Amendment was necessary to keeping America a free country ran by the people and it is the only physical means to which the people can keep a check on the government.

Can you even imagine the reaction of the fathers if 20 years before the Revolution, the British began declaring “gun free zones” or throwing in jail law-abiding Americans for just walking with a gun? But that is what is happening today.

It would have been a lot easier for the British to keep their dictator-like rule if they had implemented gun restrictions over the Americans. It would have made the Revolution physically impossible.

Today, who’s to say our next president will not restrict all gun rights to citizens and then declare a dictatorship once in power? We would have no way of fighting back.

Unfortunately we can already see the impact of gun free zones in our classrooms; undefended people are regrettably easy targets. However, would a gunman enter a classroom filled with armed citizens?

The Young Americans for Freedom and College Libertarians present:

REFUSE TO BE A CAMPUS VICTIM
Do not only be aware of the violence, but defend yourself against it.

How can we prevent college classroom shootings?

Are GUN FREE ZONES Working?

Rapes? Abuse? Violence against Women?

The National Rifle Association NRA will facilitate a discussion on the common forms of violence that occurs on college campuses and the techniques we can use to prevent it.

Know how you can use your 2nd Amendment Right and other defense strategies to protect yourself.

When: Thursday, March 6, 6:30 PM
Where: 1401 Mason Hall, U of M Campus
