PRO-GUN GROUPS TO STAGE FAKE MASS SHOOTING AT UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS

Gun rights groups hope exhibition will illustrate absurdity of gun free zones

Gun rights groups are issuing a call for crisis actors to take part in a fake mass shooting at the University of Texas campus in Austin, in an effort to demonstrate the ineffectiveness of gun free zones.

Yesterday, pro-Second Amendment groups Come and Take It Texas and DontComply.com announced the “Life and Liberty Event to End Gun Free Zones,” an event which will include a theatrical performance of a mock mass shooting, reports The Hill.

A spokesman for the two groups said actors would pretend to be shot by armed assailants using cardboard guns.

“It’s a fake mass shooting, and we’ll use fake blood,” Matthew Short told theAustin American Statesman, adding the performance would include realistic gun sounds and even first responders.
