Hate the idea of NRA convention in Indy

[bonkers1919]

Forgive them father as they know not what they speak.

People like her are so out of touch with reality is not even funny, I hope Se never finds out the hard way how the real maniacs are.

She ought to work for a month in any adult (or juvenile) probation department. That would open her eyes. Maybe.

Saw this in the Lafayette paper while reviewing news about the Purdue shooting/knifing.

This is typical of academia these days, especially the feminists

It's just one uninformed opinion. But to infer that one person's opinion represents all academics or feminists is equally prejudicial and ill-informed.

I didn't read the link...but looks like she teaches at IVY Tech. Isn't well liked with a small sampling of 4 people. I take it with a grain of salt, they are college kids.

Laura*Marland at Ivy Tech Community College: Lafayette - RateMyProfessors.com

As an alumni of IVY Tech Indianapolis I just wonder if she is full time or adjunct. I had an adjunct Prof. for my Economics course and he was pretty worthless. Got my A but kept the book for review. At any rate the woman, and the rest of the people that are upset with the NRA convention will be proven just how wrong they are. I myself am considering being a volunteer for the Convention since it is here in INDY.

She is adjunct according to the person finder on the Ivy Tech website. which means that she does 3 or less classes per semester.

Lets say that her views are far more common than those of conservatives. One might find a few libertarians. But the wackos on the left have the loudest voices.

Take it from someone who has been an adjunct x2. The vast majority (not all) in the academic "community" are way left of center. They do their best to keep it that way with the hiring and assignment process.

If I had gotten the kind of evaluations that instructor got I would have been so embarrassed I think I would have crawled in a hole somewhere. Would like to see the totality of her scores, on the surface it looks like she isn't in it for the students.

Ivy Tech is more of a junior college. But with tenured facility like Purdue or IU have, the wackos do seem to have the loudest voices. When I first saw the letter to the editor, I assumed that she was with Purdue.

If you really believe that, you spend too much time listening to Fox News.

Ever heard of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, or Rand Paul? Now THAT's full-on wacko.

It was actually 86,000 plus responsible gun owners at Houston, my wife and I are proud to have been two of them. The anti-gun rally outside attracted I think 3 protesters, it was great!

Houston protests

Why the axe? Would he ask the government to disarm if more guns=more death?

Don't let the libertarians here know that you are bad mouthing Rand (or Ron) Paul.....

In Pittsburgh in 2011 the protestors marched for half a block (no, not kidding) and then went for lunch. I counted 15.

There were maybe 10 protestors in Charlotte, I say, I say.

Here in America's most armed librarian in the Charlotte protest:

How does one get an invite to this event? Sounds like fun.

You know, when you have that much gray in your hair, you probably should not go lay on the ground in random places. It's confusing.

He wandered away from the asylum and upon finding his like-minded (weak-minded) friends decided he was home in time for his afternoon nap.

When it's nap time, it's nap time.

You'll be old someday, you'll understand.

April 25 thru 27 at the Convention Center

Just show up.

If you are a NRA member, no cost.

If not a member, it's I want to say $10.00??, it's a great time, not only the exhibit hall, but the seminars are great too. In 2011 at Pittsburgh, I was getting an autograph from one of the speakers on the 1911, WW2 vet, his name slips me now, nicest guy, was talking about how his Dad got him a 1911, had it hard chromed and sent it to him in England inside a cake, sweeps back his suit coat, and sits the hard Chromed 1911 in the table in-between us, was great!

He even had it attached with a lanyard. Best time ever. We go every year since then, work it into our vacation.

Indianapolis hosted 10,000 Maniacs last August at The Biergarten at the Rathskeller. Where was the outcry then? This event sounds 7 times better.

I protested as Natalie Merchant was not with them!
