In traditional political correctness style, the U. of Arizona is removing the pistols from their beloved Wildcat mascot, Wilbur. Even though this will leave Wilbur completely defenseless against rival ASU's mascot's trident, political correctness must march onward. The PC movement must expunge everything that may be offensive to someone somewhere. That is, unless you are offended by politically correct intolerance.

While it is easy to make light of silly movements like this, it is a perfect illustration of just how delusional the PC Nazi's can be. These people honestly believe that animated mascots wearing pistols has an impact on reality. They believe that the "cartoon character" shouldn't have pistols, because children are so impressionable, they will take up arms against each other and become mass murderers.

This was virtually the same argument used to change the name of the Washington Bullets basketball mascot to the Wizards, which has had resounding success. Crime in DC is way down, drug use is non-existent, and people are safe to walk the streets again. If it weren't for changing the name of their basketball mascot, you'd probably have many more muggings, killings, and rapes in the District than across the river in Virginia. Now gangs are flying around on brooms like Harry Potter, rather than shooting each other in the streets over drug money.

In fact, people that live in DC are afraid to go into Virginia after dark, lest they be at the mercy of their loose gun laws. Virginia has a "Dodge City" attitude, where private citizens are entrusted to own evil guns. They'd much rather be back in the bosom of DC, where they are safe from the random violence that gun proliferation causes.
