    | "Law enforcement arrived at Florida State University’s packed library within three minutes of receiving calls that a man with a gun had opened fire."
 
 "But some gun rights advocates think that wasn’t soon enough."
 
 "The shooting, which left three people injured before police killed the assailant, has become the go-to anecdote for proponents who want to change state law and allow people with concealed weapon permits to bring their guns on college campuses. They argue it’s a safety issue for students at FSU and beyond." ...

    | The FSU Student Govt's position is unsupportable. 
 Contrary to their assertion, the lack of the anticipated epidemic of violence is prima facie evidence that campus CCW works as advertised.
 
 I say that because if I challenge them to identify ONE prognostication that has actually occurred on campuses in the seven states that allow for lawful CCW at colleges, they will not be able to cite a single incident.
 
 Not ONE.
 
 Because there aren't any.

                      | As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms.  However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts.  The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws.  — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |  |  |
