What Century is This!

One of our sons is a constitutionalist and has more arguments for it than Ron Paul. He is indeed from South Dakota and would probably approve of their House passing a bill enabling college students to carry guns on the five campuses in the state.

Perhaps the Professors need to take a course on defensive maneuvers with chalk and an eraser in their hands when some hot headed, closed minded student disagrees with him/her. Or maybe it might be the other way around. Eliminate the class disruption. You know I am exaggerating here so don't get alarmed. I have been reading way too much family western history on whose draw was quicker and how to take care of those cattle rustlers.

With that kind of thinking, Omahans might lobby for carrying guns into shopping centers...just to keep order. I have always contended a shopping mall guard would be worse than hall and cafeteria duty in high school.

PIERRE (AP) - A South Dakota House committee has passed a bill guaranteeing people the right to carry or possess guns on college campuses.

The bill's main sponsor, Rep. Tom Brunner of Nisland, said nearly all mass shootings in recent history occurred in placed where guns are banned. He said criminals have the advantage in gun-free zones because no one else is armed.

The State Affairs Committee voted unanimously to pass HB1261, which would prevent universities and technical schools from restricting the right to carry guns on campus.

The committee then voted unanimously to kill a much different measure that would have made it a crime to have a gun on campus.
