Women Want Rifles And Are Cool With It

Campus Carry
A senior female student from Kent State University whose graduation photos show her wearing an AR-10 rifle and a cap that reads "COME AND TAKE IT" is reportedly receiving tremendous and overflowing support.

This week, Kaitlin Bennett tweeted the images, writing, "Now that I graduated from @KentState, I can finally arm myself on campus. I should have been able to do so as a student — especially since 4 unarmed students were shot and killed by the government on this campus," with the hashtag #CampusCarryNow.

Bennett referred to the 1970 campus shooting by the Ohio National Guard that killed four students and injured nine others during a protest against the Vietnam War. As a result, a mass student strike forced many colleges and universities to shut down, and may have helped topple the Nixon administration.

In a second photo posted by Bennett, in which she’s looking over her shoulder and smiling, the caption reads, "I have no apologies for my graduation photos. As a woman, I refuse to be a victim & the second amendment ensures that I don’t have to be." YEAH!!!

The tweets combined have received more than 24,000 likes and 7,000 comments; while very few people were outraged by the images, others encouraged Bennett to "hang in there" and continue to express her beliefs.

Bennett, who studied zoology at the university and is a digital content producer for the libertarian website Liberty Hangout, tells Yahoo Lifestyle, "I decided to come back to campus and take graduation photos with an AR-10 because I wanted to start a conversation about gun rights on college campuses. It’s insulting that at Kent State University, guests may protect themselves with firearms on campus, but students and staff may not. Why does the school value the lives of guests more than those paying thousands of dollars to attend the university?"

In April, a University of Tennessee at Chattanooga student named Brenna Spencer shocked many of the snowflakes and cuddly bears by posing for a graduation photo wearing a "Women for Trump" T-shirt and a handgun sticking out of the waistband of her white jeans. Now, that is a real woman. Beautiful, sexy and deadly.
