Second Amendment enthusiasts yesterday in Austin, Texas faked a mass shooting to show the nation is vulnerable to such carnage.

Opponents offered a very sophisticated rebuttal: wave dildos and make fake fart noises.

The tete-a-tete started brewing last week when the activist groups Come and Take it Texas and DontComply.com announced they would simulate a gun massacre right near the University of Texas at Austin campus to oppose gun free zones and alleged gun confiscation efforts by the Obama administration.

On Saturday, 100 protestors wielding dildos to argue for “cocks not Glocks” and fart simulators chanted “Texas farts” and “We fart in your general direction” as they headed down Guadalupe Street towards where the Second Amendment enthusiasts said they would fake a shooting.

Organizer Andrew Dobbs told his compatriots who had converged across the street from a campus church, “I choose to believe that fear is not the solution to the threat of our time. That laughing in the face of fear is a courageous act and toting a gun around everywhere you go, maybe not so much. When you come to my community, to the university that I love, and you threaten the lives of my friends, what I have to say is, I’m going to fart in your face!”

Alas, their opponents had sneaked away from the promised locale. At the other side of campus they simulated the carnage with cardboard guns and fake blood as actors pretended to be felled.

DontComply.com Organizer Murdoch Pizgatti explained to the Houston Chronicle that the switcheroo was intended to show, “You don’t get a time and place, you don’t get a flier or an invitation for a true mass shooting. They happen unannounced.”

Kind of like a fart.
