"Students at The University of Massachusetts Demand Pepper-Spray"
Seems that the incidence of attacks upon female students has increased greatly following upon Massachusetts' passage of Chapter 180 of the Laws of 1998. This chapter imposed draconian, punative, vicious victim disarmament rules upon law-abiding state residents so Liberals could feel better about themselves. Not at all surprisingly, incidents of assault and battery have increased (Duh!).
Now, the same whiney Liberals who demanded gun banning are screeching that they be allowed to carry pepper spray for THEIR protection (ever notice how their protection is more important than yours?). However, Chapter 180 requires a special Firearms Identification Card (not a typo) for the purchase or possession of pepper spray. To get an FID one must first be fingerprinted, complete a long form, take a class in use of weapons, pay $25 and wait 2 - 6 months before the card is issued. Possession of pepper spray without an FID (first offense) is punishable by a $ 500 fine and two years in prison.
Therefore, I feel it is proper to tell the Liberals now demanding weapons for self-defense that they cannot have them, but rather, if attacked, to dial 911. For the children, of course.
