Conservative student's parting shot at college's anti-gun policies goes viral: 'Come and take it'
A conservative woman who recently graduated from Kent State University has received threats after she took aim at her school’s anti-gun policies in a photo shoot where she carried an AR-10 and wore a cap that said, “Come and take it.”
Kaitlin Bennett, a 22-year-old Second Amendment supporter from Zanesville, Ohio and founder of Liberty Hangout at Kent State, a student media outlet that promotes libertarian values, posed in front of the Kent Student Center for the tweet that has gone viral.  
“Now that I graduated from @KentState, I can finally arm myself on campus. I should have been able to do so as a student – especially since 4 unarmed students were shot and killed by the government on this campus. #CampusCarryNow,” she posted on Twitter Sunday.
Bennett told Fox News she wanted to condemn the school’s “insulting” policies.

“I wanted to draw attention to the gun policies on campus that allow guests to open carry, but not students,” she said. “I find it insulting that the school values the lives of their guests more than those attending the university for four years.”
The university has a rule against students, faculty, and staff carrying “deadly weapons.” But Kent State University spokesman Eric Mansfield told Fox News that because Bennett is no longer a student, she violated no policies.
“After graduation, she joined the ranks of our proud graduates,” Mansfield said. “So at the time of this photo, she and other graduates would be permitted to open carry on our campus.”

Mansfield noted that KSU has a full-time, certified police force of more than 30 sworn officers who protect the campus and the university was recently ranked the safest big college campus in Ohio and the 25th safest in the country, according to National Council for Home Safety and Security.

Call of Duty WW2

Call of Duty WW2                         Call of Duty :  WWII  pre-review Many of us are old enough to remember a time when the idea of a first-person shooter set during World War II seemed overdone to the point of parody. The first three  Call of Duty  releases took place during World War II, breaking from the tradition with 2007’s  Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare .  Call of Duty: WWII ,  developer Sledghammer Games’ second full release in the franchise, brings us back to that historic conflict as the series begins to eat its own tail on modern hardware. Or maybe this could be seen as a sort of reboot.   Call of Duty: WWII packs in the same ridiculous amount of things to do as past games in the series with a full single-player campaign, many options for multiplayer including   the asymmetrical War game mode , the   new Headquarters social hub   and of cours...

Kirk Douglas  remarkably celebrates his 102nd birthday on December 9, 2018. The three-time Oscar nominee appeared in dozens of movies in a career that spanned decades. But how many of those titles are classics? In honor of his birthday, let’s take a look back at 15 of his greatest films, ranked worst to best. Born in 1916, Douglas kicked off his acting career after serving in the Navy during WWII. He made his film debut with a small role in “The Strange Love of Martha Ivers” (1946). His first Oscar nomination as Best Actor came just three years later for  Mark Robson ‘s boxing drama “Champion” (1949). He earned two more Oscar bids working with director  Vincent Minnelli , first for the Hollywood melodrama “The Bad and the Beautiful” (1952) and again for the  Vincent Van Gogh  biopic “Lust for Life” (1956). The latter film brought him victories at the Golden Globes and New York Film Critics Circle. SEE Honorary Oscars: Full gallery of acting recipients inc...
