Gun activists want to stage fake mass shooting event at University of Texas, Austin

                            

Gun rights activists announced that they are to hold an ‘Open Carry’ march and rally, and will stage a fake mass shooting theatrical event at the University of Texas, this weekend. UT Austin said that any such event would be considered trespassing.
Multiple gun rights groups in Austin, Texas will participate in the event on Saturday to protest gun-free zones, as well as US President Barack Obama’s call for tougher gun control legislation. The event, titled Life and Liberty to End Gun-Free Zones, will take place just a week after the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California.

Posters for the protest use imagery often associated with environmental events, featuring a large "tree of life" with spreading roots in front of sun rays. The poster puts out a call for “crisis” actors for the mock mass shooting performance.
“After the Open Carry walk we will put away our rifles and walk back to act out a theatrical performance,” the poster reads.
The protest will begin at 12 noon in Austin, with gun owners marching with loaded weapons, while the performance is scheduled to start at 2:30pm on campus. A spokesman for the two participating gun rights groups, Come and Take It Texas and DontComply.com, told the Austin American-Statesman the event will involve using fake blood and bullhorns to mimic gunshots.
