Usually, an individual person does not inspire a member of Congress to propose federal legislation. But when Marti Priest called the office of U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison with a gripe, that is exactly what happened. Priest, who lives outside of Ellison’s Minneapolis congressional district in a Twin Cities suburb, was irked when her college-age son told her that the University of Kansas eventually will allow students to carry concealed weapons on campus. Priest is from Kansas herself. She attended KU and her mother is buried in Topeka.

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
