State lawmakers have introduced legislation to allow the concealed carry of guns on campus for the third consecutive year. Senator Plakon filed a bill for the 2017 legislature that would repeal the current ban on concealed weapons at state colleges and universities. Like years prior, students from both sides of the argument are playing a key role as the legislative session draws near.

All of the noise in opposition ignores two irrefutable facts:
1) No law will keep bad actors from carrying guns into any venue and committing violent felonies. Only people who are not so inclined are therefore affected, and negatively.
2) There is no evidence whatsoever from any of the eight states that allow unencumbered, licensed carry on college campuses that any of the dire prognistications perpetually invoked by opponents have happened. NONE.
The legislature should focus on these two facts, ignore the nonsensical noise of anti-liberty opponents, and pass this bill. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
