What Sebastian and Bitter are doing on March 15th next year?
Why?
Because the NRA will be bringing their NRA U program to UPenn-Philly and I’d like to get a look at those protests.
In an effort to educate the next generation of gun rights advocates on exercising and maintaining their constitutionally guaranteed Right to Keep and Bear Arms, NRA has developed a comprehensive program for college students called “NRA University‖ NRA U for short.
NRA U is a two-hour training seminar for college students interested in learning more about NRA, the Second Amendment, gun safety, legislative threats to gun rights and the gun control debate. NRA-ILA staff will travel to a college campus and provide seminar attendees with the tools they’ll need to become more effective activists in the fight to protect our freedom, both on and off campus.
Staff will address the myths of gun control, covering topics such as the history of the Second Amendment and the use of guns for self-defense, and provide the NRA’s solutions to reducing gun crime and accidents.
In addition to ensuring a more balanced discussion of this issue on campus, NRA staff will talk about the various NRA programs in which students can participate. Students will also learn about opportunities to work with like-minded activists in their area.
While I don’t doubt that the protests would be just as vocal at the college I attend, I am not a full-time student and am therefore not allowed to invite speakers or speaking groups. There is also no “Conservative Student Union” or “College Republican: group that I could forward this onto. Sure, the MeCHA group has permanent status, as do the rainbow of racial student groups. But nothing for middle aged white guys.
There is the LDS Student Association. I wonder if they’d be interested?
