A well-armed society is a polite society.

If you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns.

She wasn’t just not brainwashed, she wasn’t scared

I like Emily. She's awesome. She's got more guts than 95% of the people on her campus.

2A girl is also pleasant, cheerful, positive and feminine - exact opposite of the angry, hateful, man-hating feminist.

I'd rather have a gun and not need it than need one and not have it

She was raised Correctly

Is that really a college professor encouraging healthy debate?? That man is a unicorn.

Criminals don't follow laws

Responsible gun owners are not committing random crimes with them

I’m 77 and no grandkids and would be so proud to have her call me grandpa. She is a good young woman.

I just enjoyed watching all the other students squirming in their seats uncomfortably 🤣 Bravo to this young lady! Trump 2024!

Fuck socialism

Love this girl! She's very informed . She's also free!

Love that conservative woman! Trump 2024!

So surprised the liberal Professor went past even just the middle ground and even saw the other side. Stereotyping is harmful. Props to him on this day.

As a Woman, the only Daughter of a family of four, Papa a Marine, Momma a U.S. Army Nurse, Civilian Teacher, who grew up on a small working ranch, working hard every day to survive... I started learning to handle/respect firearms from the age of '4'. Yes, 'Four.' I honed the skills Papa taught me, took that into my USMC Training, and earned the 'Expert' Title in small arms. Folks, the world has NEVER been 'Safe.' THAT is a Fools' errand! Don't. Fall. For. It!!! This young Woman is absolutely an inspiration!

we need MORE professors like this man, and MORE students like this young lady who is intelligent and has common sense.

This young lady is exactly what most of the comments have said, but I give big credit to the Professor for doing this.

That young lady did a great job, representing the pragmatism and wisdom of legally owning a firearm. She delivered her concepts with intelligence and kindness; a Win-Win for everyone in that class. Occasionally, when people discuss guns, in a negative light, or fundamentally say, "Guns are Bad", I remind them that "Pa Ingalls" from "Little House on the Prairie", owned Shotguns, to protect his Family from harm; whether that harm came from animals or humans. And let's face it: When we watched the SHOW, "Little House on the Prairie", NO VIEWERS were saying, "Pa Ingalls is a bad man, because he owns guns!!" No one said that, because EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD that he needed guns to protect his Family!

Wow, she is well educated about guns this is what the average American that possesses guns looks like, we are not freaks we do not want to go out and shoot people up, it's just fun and good protection for women. And kudos to the professor who is allowing this discussion!

Teaching students and not just trying to program them is such a relief to see isn’t completely gone

Wow, don't see too many professors like him anymore. They're sorely needed these days

This professor does this in his class a lot. He does a great job trying to encourage thinking. He does a lot of conversations about race, and stereotypes.

This is so funny. Because I am from another country - The Philippines. My parents and I legally immigrated to the US when I was young. And I am also a US Army veteran and a gun lover. And I am also from PA. Life. Liberty. Pursuit of Happiness are NOT an American thing. It is a Humanity thing. Without guns it is almost impossible to preserve Life. It's that simple. Well done, young patriot lady.

She's going to be a great wife and also a strong patriot! A strong woman, beautiful and super knowledgeable on her topic

Good news is that it's not a sin to defend yourself and your family. We are commanded to do just that.

Something that bugs me is the people thinking criminals actually get permits for guns! That's why we need to be able to protect ourselves. I personally stay away from "gun free zones" as much as possible! I am thankful I live in Texas!!!!

Emily, now that's my girl, you go, you know the truth! 😘

First thing ppl should learn is that AR means ARMALITE RIFLE.

This girl is awesome!! We need more young people like her! Thanks Devin for bringing this to our attention. Keep it rollen.

She is more informed on the 2a than any officer and politician.

I have seen this professor in action before-he is a genuine person only interested in the truth-the objective truth.

No gun is an assault gun. Until it is used in an assault. Then that gun is the only an assault gun. Not any other guns.

The right to life begins with the right to protect yourself.

It's not the Car,,,, it's the DRIVER.!!! 😡

Kids get in this house right now and go to your rooms, Devin Gibson just posted.

Congratulations on your move to a state that values more freedom.

It's not just the young lady's beliefs, it's her backbone that stands out.

Owning a gun has nothing to do with having a feeling of power, guns are tools that a person should know how to use them properly and safely!

You're the man Devin.👍

The teachers of this 🌎 aren't all on the side of good or freedom.

5 guns in our house including an AR. Come and take them. 🤷🏽‍♀️

What a great girl!, he couldn’t have called up a better person to represent and speak for the subject at hand.

It's a shame that she didn't use Philadelphia as a case study. It's incredibly hard to legally own and carry a weapon in Philadelphia, yet people get shot dead all of the time.

I'm a 57 year old grandma and i just bought my 3rd Smith and Wesson. I might be getting another sooner than i though. My fiancee was in the service and he hates guns. I keep telling him to prove to me that he was in the service cause i don't believe him 😉 paperwork or not. He works 12 hours a day so I'm here alone. I have massive health issues so it's the only way i can protect us

I thought that the professor would be very anti-gun and try to influence the students against her, but he didn't. Refreshing to see!

Gotta remove all assault weapons, including cars, food, drugs, air, water, all used in assaults but they never talk about it lol

Permits are unconstitutional

Needing a permit to own a gun is unconstitutional.

An Armed Society is a Polite Society!

I caught that "assault rifle" as soon as she said it. I knew you would address it. We only have pew. Militaries have pew pew pew

I was a cab driver, one of my regular clients, a far left liberal, asked my opinion of gun control. I told him that I think everyone over 16 should have a firearm at all times. Shocked he questioned me as to why so I used his brain against him. A natural thought process is to fill in the blanks so I asked if he was in a city somewhere waiting at a bus stop and there was a group of thugs harassing him and I walked up, would he want to know that I had my gun or wonder if I did. In an instant his eyes got wide. He was shocked and replied that he never thought about it that way.

Great teacher making students how to think better instead of telling them what to think

"Gooder than chicken"! The right to bear arms; to protect myself against people who want to do me harm! There's "no chicken gooder than that".

The reason we have the 2A is to protect the citizen FROM ITS GOVERNMENT! That's about it.

This is at Penn State!! I am a proud alumni and proud conservative millennial. =) The young woman has a bright future ahead of her. Rather than be forceful, she helped educate and enlighten everyone in that lecture hall.

No alcohol, no DUI, no cars, no fatal accidents a car is a 2,000lb bullet. Should we ban these?

I wish she wouldn't have mentioned combining alcohol and guns when she said it's fun to go out to the range and shoot after drinking a beer.

She's a keeper.

Raised right! Responsible owner!

That young lady has a sound mind and peace in her heart if she was handling a gun around me i would feel very safe. It's not the gun it's the person Godbless this young lady. and Godbless America from across the pond in UK!!!

Not only will the NRA stand up for your 2nd Amendment rights,but so will other corporations and organizations such as the American Legion and VFW. Look them up. Join if you are eligible and help keep the 2nd Amendment strong forever!

I love her!!!

And not one so-called man in that room interrupted to ask this girl out?! Come on boys!

Hats off to this responsible young lady, this is how you handle a conversation. I'm not a gun owner, but I've learned something from this conversation. I'm thinking about getting one tho.

She knows her stuff 👏👏

It's not assult rifles. She should know this.

Don’t have to have a permit to own a Ak unless it’s fully auto and every person gets a back ground check

Im glad she didn't let the woke virus take root and good on her for sticking to her beliefs and what a great professor

🇺🇸✝️🇺🇸✝️🇺🇸

Heck yeah young lady get down!!! TRUMMMMP!!!!!

Thank God for this professor! This is America when you hear this kind of open discussion! It’s all about freedom of speech and that’s why so many people wanted to migrate to America. It’s about our tradition of freedom. But that means freedom within the law. So glad to see this open discussion! ♥️😊

Another great one brother devin

Nice girl. Intelligent tho.

Amen!

I've seen many of this professor's classes online... I may not always agree with him but he seems to be very fair, open minded and reasonable... If I had a child going to Penn State they would, for certain, take at least one course from this man... Great teacher.

Amen Mr Gibson

NOT ASSAULT, IT IS A TACTICAL WEAPON

Kudos to this professor. Open minded

God bless her!

I'm so tired of the argument "well don't you think if people were just not allowed to have guns that gun violence would be non-existent?" No, because the illegal arms trade is huge. Criminals might be prevented from purchasing firearms legally but they have other ways to procure firearms and those ways are actually preferred because the firearms are untraceable that way. Laws only effect law abiding citizens.

Alabama has no concealed carry permits. I love it

If banning murder doesn't stop murder, why would banning guns do it?

I stand with her!!

Devin, she said she owned an "assault rifle"... There are a lot of private citizens who own the AK-47 and many other "big guns".

Two foreign students that don't really understand what freedom is, and I could not care less about what you can have in Columbia.

Devin this is what we need to see with a lot of our young people I agree with you wholeheartedly my brother. And as far as professors and teachers I hold hardly agree with you once again that they should be teaching not indoctrinating.

I wouldn't be surprised if she was kicked out of college after this.

Gooder than chicken

The professor probably wishes he had not pulled that conversation out of his library of liberal stunts

I hope her father is watching this on repeat with a proud grin from ear to ear! God bless you Emily 🙏

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. How can any city or State make laws, that Infringe on the right to keep and bear arms?

Why is the 2nd Amendment the only Constitutionally granted right that we have to have the Government's permission to exercise, and then only under specific conditions THEY dictate to us? Who do these people think they are that their opinion trumps the Constitution?

You go girl

About time someone on Penn State campus with a brain. I live 15 minutes from Penn State.

The professor was awesome! There are not enough educators with an unbiased point of view and opened a conversation instead of a debate

In Maryland we call them “sporting rifles” because Maryland banned AR’s

That’s what I’d call “wife material”

The professor cited Columbia as a country where firearms are not readily available, I'd love to hear his explanation as to why the firearm homicide rate there is about four times higher than the US.
