What students do not need is the added fear of gun violence on campus. That’s particularly true right now, as the wave of homicides continues to build. The death of a U of L student in a shooting at the Tim Faulkner Gallery in Portland earlier this month has brought tragedy home to Belknap Campus.
Nevertheless, on Friday, advocates of “open carry” plan to exercise their rights by parading around the perimeter of the campus, brandishing all manner of firearms.
Guns aren’t allowed on the campus, and in the wake of tragedies in recent years like the mass shooting at Virginia Tech, that’s a good policy. The only responsible policy. |

I agree, continue the current status quo with a target rich environment. Anyone stupid enough to go to that college deserves to get their ass shot off without the means to fight back. After all, self defense is overrated.

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
