University of Virginia Cancels 21-Gun Salute to Appease Snowflake Students

The University of Virginia canceled the 21-gun salute portion of its annual Veterans Day ceremony – citing gun violence.

James Ryan, the university’s president, posted a statement on Facebook explaining that there were concerns about firing weapons on school property in light of recent school shootings.

He said there were two specific reasons.

"First, to minimize disruptions to classes, given that this event is located at the juncture of four primary academic buildings and is held at a time that classes are in session; and second, recognizing concerns related to firing weapons on the Grounds in light of gun violence that has happened across our nation, especially on school and university campuses," the president wrote.

As you might imagine – the outrage among veterans and military supporters has been severe.

Those who abhor guns will be the first ones rounded up by the invaders as they are easy pickins.
