Why She Did It

You may have seen this picture - it was all over social media recently:

That is Kaitlin Bennett.  

She recently graduated from Kent State University with a degree in biology.  The next day, she returned to the campus openly carrying an AR-10, and a mortar board cap with the words "Come and take it" on the top.

She explained that her action was a protest designed to display the absurdity of the schools rules about firearms.  As a student, she was prohibited from possessing a firearm on campus, but, as a guest, she is allowed to carry.  In fact, she had a school security officer accompany her on the photo shoot.
