AUSTIN, Texas – University of Texas at Austin student Jessica Jin thinks rubber penis’ are “just about as effective at protecting us from sociopathic shooters” as concealed weapons “but much safer for recreational play.”

Jin doesn’t like that Texas lawmakers recently approved legislation to allow concealed handguns on the state’s public university campuses next year, so she started a protest against the move with #CocksNotGlocks.

The new law goes into effect next August for state universities, and the following year for community colleges, and Jin is already planning ahead by encouraging her classmates to tote rubber dildos to class on the first day of next year’s fall semester – Aug. 24, 2016, the Houston Chronicle reports.

“You’re carrying a gun to class?” Jin’s “Campus (DILDO) Carry” Facebook event reads. “Yeah well I’m carrying a HUGE DILDO.”

About 4,100 people have signed up to participate in the event, according to the news site.

“The state of Texas has decided that it is not at all obnoxious to allow deadly concealed weapons in classrooms, however it DOES have strict rules about free sexual expression, to protect your innocence,” according to the Facebook event description.

“You would receive a citation for taking a DILDO to class before you would get in trouble taking a gun to class,” it continued. “Heaven forbid the penis.”

Jin’s Facebook event, of course, sparked outrage from gun rights advocates and support from liberals who want gun control.

“This is retarded. Because you did not get something your way, you feel the need to essentially whine about it,” Paul Heinrich posted. “The second amendment is constitutionally protected. ‘A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

Jenichanga Lynn posted a cartoon of a family watching TV with the broadcast “Gunman at large! Protect yourselves!” A second image shows the family clinging to a gun free zone sign.

“But you’ll have dildos to toss at them,” she wrote. “You’ll be fine.”

“Here in the UK we don’t allow our children to carry guns or knives, concealed or otherwise … our gun related crime is down 15% and knife crime has also dropped by 15%. Go Figure!” Steve Howlett wrote. “On the plus side the UK sex toy industry is now worth over £250 million! Your economy could probably do with that kind of stimulation!”

Howlett, however, is dead wrong.

The Oct. 1 school shooting at Umpqua Community College has reignited debate on guns in America, and President Obama is leading the charge to restrict gun ownership in the name of safety.

But the debate has also highlighted a seemingly forgotten 2007 Harvard University study that found a correlation between gun related violence and gun ownership that debunks the entire gun control argument.

Comparing the U.S. with England, which banned most guns by the late 1990s, researchers Don Kates and Gary Mauser found “a negative correlation” showing “where firearms are most dense violent crime rates are lowest, and where guns are least dense, violent crime rates are highest.”

That’s the same conclusion researchers with the U.S. National Academy of Sciences reached in a 2004 study, as did a U.S. Centers for Disease Control study the year before, Kates and Mauser wrote.

“Armed crime, never a problem in England, has now become one. Handguns are banned but the Kingdom has millions of illegal firearms,” they wrote. “Criminals have no trouble finding them and exhibit a new willingness to use them. In the decade after 1957, the use of guns in serious crime increased a hundredfold. In the late 1990s, England moved from stringent controls to a complete ban on all handguns and many types of long guns. Hundreds of thousands of guns were confiscated from those owners law-abiding enough to turn them in to authorities.”

And “despite constant and substantially increasing gun ownership, the United States saw progressive and dramatic reductions in criminal violence,” according to the study, published by BeliefNet.com. “On the other hand, the same time period in the United Kingdom saw a constant and dramatic increase in violent crime to which England’s response was ever-more drastic gun control. Nevertheless, criminal violence rampantly increased so that by 2000 England surpassed the United States to become one of the developed world’s most violence-ridden nations.”
