Imagine this news headline: "School shooter apologizes — not for killing — but for violating CU campus gun ban."

Preposterous, right? Not to some members of the University of Colorado Boulder faculty.

A recent motion from the Boulder Faculty Assembly (BFA) supports a campus gun ban — as if someone intent on killing would comply with a campus gun ban, let alone regret breaking one.

Campus Carry Update

Politics never stops. Even though we just wrapped up the midterm elections, legislators across the country are already pre-filing bills for the next legislative sessions, many of which begin in just a matter of weeks. It looks like the issue of "campus carry" is going to be on the legislative agenda in several states when lawmakers reconvene.

In Texas, a campus carry bill has already been pre-filed. In the last session of the legislature, a similar bill enjoyed the support of the majority of the Texas House, but political maneuvering kept the bill bottled up in committee. Supporters are hoping that the addition of even more Second Amendment supporters in the House will allow the bill to get the fair hearing it deserves.

Lawmakers in Oklahoma are also expected to consider campus carry, and students at Oklahoma State University are doing their part to raise awareness of the issue. The local chapter of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus recently held an information awareness campaign in front of the university library, and received a lot of support from their fellow students. The campaign's message is sure to resonate in Stillwater, since a student was shot and robbed just a few feet away from the edge of campus a few hours after the SCCC campaign ended. You don't have to be on the Dean's List to see that Oklahoma State's "no guns allowed" policy didn't help the victim, and it didn't stop his attacker.
