I don't blame her. I feel unsafe driving through the US now and haven't received a threat. This is a sad state of affairs. Really. Think about it. I never thought I'd see my country become such a perceived dangerous place, nor did I ever think I'd fear a large swath of it's citizens. Ebola has nothing on the gun culture, imo. When a university decides to be PC and favor rights over safety it's worrisome. This person didn't threaten her, but a "mass shooting". Would the university do the same if it was Romney? Just sayin'. You know that's why they made the decision. Don't want to upset those who cling to their guns. Heaven forbid that they have to leave their guns at home for ONE day, for a few hours. All emphasis mine.

Canadian-born feminist cancels speech at Utah State amid threat

SALT LAKE CITY – A feminist speaker has canceled a speech at Utah State University after learning the school would allow concealed firearms despite an anonymous threat against her.

Anita Sarkeesian was scheduled to give a presentation on the portrayal of women in video games on Wednesday evening. She made the decision to cancel Tuesday night.

University staff members had received a threat earlier Tuesday from an unknown person who vowed to carry out a mass shooting if the event was held. University spokesman Tim Vitale says the FBI told school officials the threat is consistent with ones Sarkeesian receives when she gives speeches elsewhere.

The university consulted with federal and state law enforcement and had determined it was safe to go ahead with the presentation.

But Sarkeesian pulled out after learning from university officials that concealed weapons would be permitted, as long as attendees have a valid concealed firearm permit in accordance with Utah law.
