The student newspaper at Pennsylvania's Gettysburg College is arguing that the school should drop the 'bullet' mascot amid nationwide gun violence.

"These more recent debates around the mascot bring us to today. Gun violence in America is rampant; bullets are not historical artifacts but persistent threats. Of course, the bullet has historical relevance here in Gettysburg, but in many other towns around the country it has frightening significance. Students returning to their hometowns in which a shooting has occurred may not be so eager to represent the ‘Bullets.’ Current students have had mass shootings in their towns.

Arguing that it's unfair to"impose a mascot constructed in 1924 on 2022 Gettysburg," the editorial board states that"We are a different generation than they were," and the mascot should be changed."It is now up to us to choose a mascot that represents us—we are not bound to the Bullets just because students of the past have stuck with it. We are a different generation than they were: we grew up after, practicing active shooter drills.
