Cornell Univ. Frosh Questions Guns On Campus, Captain America

"In a recent Sun report, S.A. director of elections, Sun columnist and cowboy hat enthusiast Mark Coombs ’08 said, “he hoped the resolution would be approached ‘intellectually and seriously.’” My initial reaction to this plan was that it’s probably the dumbest plan ever . . ."

"But perhaps my intuition that more people will get shot if there are more guns, that maybe zero guns on campus is better than a few hundred, is rooted in prejudice. I’ve never even shot a gun that didn’t fire foam discs. I was raised by anti-gun parents who took me to the Million Mom March and obviously my first impression represents an anti-gun position. How can I envision a world where everyone is happy and safe and packing heat if I’ve been brainwashed by California liberals to be anti-gun? So to honor Coombs, who I respect and who seems far too hilarious to be a gun nut, I’ll approach this resolution intellectually and seriously. "

Maybe, but the brainwashing appears to be complete. BTW, he's also disappointed that Captain America is once again packing heat. He suggests that firearms do not make CA a superhero.
