I'm going to do a little experiment. I'll be printing out pro-gun images and putting them up around campus- on the doors to buildings, in the stairwells of the dorms, the elevator of the girl's dorm, etc. The idea being that I'll see how long it takes for them to become a topic of conversation on campus (if at all) and how long before somebody tears them down. The experiment will begin this weekend, since the girl's dorm is only open to guys on Sunday (minus the lobby).
For your review, here are the posters I'll be putting up around campus.    This one goes on the door to the english/literature building.    Girl's dorm.  Elevator in the girl's dorm, where everybody will be sure to see it.

Not to be a wet blanket, but you DO have Mr. Volk's permission to use his images, right?

NICE dood!
Get pics of the places you posted 'em! I'd see about maybe letting Oleg Volk about your plans, since he owns copyright to those pics, but he's generally very supportive of using them to help our cause. |

I'm not claiming them as my own, nor am I profiting in any way from them. I do believe that satisfies his requirements for use of his images. Besides, not all of them are Oleg's stuff. I figure either a bunch of libtards will tear them down at random or the school will go all PC and have them removed. Considering this is a conservative baptist university and two professors (including the dean) are shooters, I don't think the latter will happen, but we'll see. Hence, why I'm doing it on the weekend- not only do I have full access to the girl's dorm then, but it also means no faculty or staff on campus except for janitors, security, and cafeteria workers. That's the whole point to this experiment, to see what happens. The other point, obviously, is to inspire conversation about it on campus and see what, if anything, is said about it. |

I can't visit his pro-gun site because the stupid web protection thing they installed in all the computers last week blocks it (as well as ar15.com, forcing me to come here through a different url). That's actually what inspired this experiment- I wanted to see if it was deliberate, or just a default setting of the software they installed in a lame attempt to prevent students from surfing porn and 'hate' sites and crap. If somebody can link me to Oleg's photography website so I can search for his e-mail address, I'd be glad to send him a link to this thread and see what he says about it. The experiment begins this weekend; I'll put up most of the posters on campus Saturday night and get ones inside the girl's dorm Sunday. ETA: Forgot one of the posters:

I go to a small conversative baptist university in central Texas. Two of the professors (probably more), including the dean of student activities, are shooters and one collects mil-surp and EBR's religiously. Most of the professors don't require attendance on the opening day of hunting season since nobody is going to show up anyway. The ONE liberal professor I've had in the four years I've gone to this college threatened to fail any of her students who voted for Kerry. Liberal mecca my ass. That said, I give it three days before they all get torn down. |

Are guns allowed on campus? If not, the college will see these as encouraging people to break the rules and will take them down.

Guns WERE allowed on campus until the year before I enrolled. You can store them in your vehicle, but not in the dorms. You can bring firearms onto the campus itself if you have permission ahead of time- I brought a Springfield Model 1898 to class when we did the Spanish-American War, and somebody else brought a Colt Navy revolver clone to my Civil War class. The school released a list of long-term goals two years ago, including the construction of a skate park, a rock-climbing wall, HUNTER'S SAFETY COURSE, and RIFLE COMPETITION. The skate park and rock-climbing wall have been done, along with a few other things on the list, but we're only a third of the way through the list and all of the gun-related items were at the very end of the list. The school also doesn't have a policy specitifically pertaining to CCW either way, just a rule stating you cannot have weapons of any sort in the dorm (without permission; I've got swords in my room because I asked). |

I posted something similar around campus my junior year.
 Some of them stayed up for a while, others got torn down pretty quick. I carried an assload of copies in my bag, so when I saw one gone, I'd replace it. The posters did get brought up in a couple of my classes. |

You just exposed the second half of my experiment. You may recall I made a thread a while back asking for statistics and such on illegals in response to a speech a professor made during assembly in which he said we should be nice and welcome illegals because Jesus said be nice to strangers. Of course, I think the fact that he's a (legal) Mexican immigrant is coloring his judgement. My only problem is, I can't find any decent posters for illegals, though yours is nice. I have another that has an American flag made out of crosses and says "Illegals kill 1,500 Americans every year, but at least we have cheap lettuce and nice lawns". Except that they MURDER far more than 1,500 Americans every year, and the number of Americans they kill via drunk driving is almost the same (for an average of about 10,000 Americans killed by illegals every year), so I can't use that one. |

Just call the number of the billboard agency and pay to have an image put up. They'll take your money and put the billboard up for a specified amount of time. If you did that though, I would DEFINITELY get permission before using someone else's images and put a url to their website on the billboard. There's a difference between printing out a couple sheets of paper and taping them to doors on a university campus and putting up a billboard. |

be smart. focus on the racist and sexist aspects of gun control rather than the governmental oppression angle.
what you want to do is to make the kiddies have to choose between pet issues. remember, to liberals, the most political capital belongs to the victims, so target those who are viewed as victims. especially hit rape statistics. use stats from the gender studies department so that they cannot be marginalized by antis. use rape talking points from women's studies texts for the same reason--that way, liberals can't argue. focus on the '68 GCA being motivated by black panthers exercising their RKBA. there are tons of quotes from early gun-grabbers about keeping blacks 'in their place' via gun control. and your secret weapon is the pink pistols. force the antis to say that gay people do not have the right to defend themselves against 'hate crime'. to be politically effective, you have to pit anti activists against their core target--the 'victims'. this will be far more effective than using the governmental tyranny issue, which will just muddy the water and make their job easier. your central message: GUN CONTROL: racist, sexist, anti-gay! i'm interested to see how this turns out. |

Not to get off-topic...but
sprayandpray, what are you doing in the gay bar? Are you teh ghey?  (not knocking if you are, my sister and sister-in-law are gay....not together)If so, that gives a new meaning to Sprayandpray So, OP has a good idea. I know of a Grocery Store chain around here that allows free advertisements in the exit area. Also, some libraries. Maybe I'll have a few of these printed and place them around and see what happens!

No but a guy I know is , and I really don't give a shit.
So I went there a few times. Lo and Behold, Sunday is freak night for straight people. "sticks and stones may break my bones but whips and chains excite me" That is my scene. Obviously some of the "regulars" still go there. So over time I have gotten to know quite a few of them. Wherever I go the topic of guns comes up, I just can't seem to leave the pulpit home. Before you know it. I have a whole bunch of Gays who want to go shooting. And quite a few who like it. NOW BACK ON SUBJECT!!!!!! No hijacking here |

I was thinking of doing something similar, but different. I was thinking of using the NRA window decals I have and sticking them on the front entrance to a major store like Tagret or Wal-mart, just to see how long it took to be noticed. With all the other stickers on the doors I'm sure it would go unnoticed for a while.
Wal-mart here also has a free ad board at the exits, that fit 4x6 cards I think. Just print some of those images as 4x6 photos at a local photo shop and slip them in there. |
