Students at the University of Texas at Austin aren't too happy with a new law that allows more guns on campus. To protest, they're walking around with dildos, instead.

Hundreds of students are planning to stage a protest against new laws which will allow people to carry weapons on campus - by strapping dildos to their backpacks.

Jessica Jin, a student at the University of Texas in Austin, set up a Facebook page called "Campus (DILDO) Carry" event to protest against the controversial new law which allows students and people on campus to carry guns.

The group was founded in protest of Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R)’s signing of S.B. 11, a so-called “campus carry” law which says “license holders may carry a concealed handgun throughout university campuses, starting Aug. 1, 2016.”

But Ms Jin believes that this law it is ridiculous that this will now mean that there is more restrictions on sexual expression than there is on carrying lethal firearms.

However, the University of Texas’ Chancellor William McRaven, a former Navy SEAL admiral who lead the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, said campuses weren’t the place for guns.

He told CNN: "I like guns, but I just don't think having them on campus is the right place.

"I have been shot at before. And so I know what and how people react when they are being shot at. So if you aren't trained in that environment you probably aren't going to react the way people think you will react naturally."

According to the Houston Chronicle, the #CocksNotGlocks protesters intend to openly carry brightly colored sex toys on campus in protest.
