Yes....gun clubs are reportedly very popular at our elite universities....but that shouldn't surprise anyone....the elites of the country don't mind guns....they only mind guns when the "little" people have them.....and of course once they get their wealth, these elites won't soil their hands with these grubby instruments....they will hire "little" people to be their body guards and they will carry the guns....
The new craze at Ivy League schools guns Hot Air
It turns out that shooting is more popular inside those ivy covered walls than you might have guessed.
In between completing problem sets, writing code, organizing hackathons, worrying about internships and building solar cars, a group of MIT students make their way to the athletic center, where they stand side-by-side, load their guns and fire away.
They are majoring in biological engineering, brain and cognitive sciences, aeronautics, mechanical engineering, computer science and nuclear science. Before arriving at MIT, nearly all of them had never touched a gun or even seen one that wasn’t on TV…
[Nick] McCoy is one of the brainiacs on MIT’s pistol and rifle teams, which, like other college shooting teams, have benefited from the largesse of gun industry money and become so popular that they often turn students away. Teams are thriving at a diverse range of schools: Yale, Harvard, the University of Maryland, George Mason University, and even smaller schools such as Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania and Connors State College in Oklahoma.
“We literally have way more students interested than we can handle,” said Steve Goldstein, one of MIT’s pistol coaches.
