"The simple point is this: Our entire system of law and justice is based upon the presumption of innocence until guilt is proven. This translates into the simple truth that for our society to work, we must trust one another. That means our government - an extension of ourselves - must trust us. Until an overt criminal act is committed and guilt is proved, it is unlawful and immoral to limit the freedom of any innocent citizen, especially a right so basic as defending one's own body." |

A University of Utah professor is so terrified of guns that he is threatening to quit if peaceful, responsible students and faculty carry concealed firearms on campus. He apparently thinks violent criminals will obey a sign saying "no guns".
Under Utah law, concealed carry is already legal on campus.
We hope his bluff gets called. A law professor should be able to read and comprehend research and realize that guns on campus will keep everyone safer. |

"The creation of the Northern Command will not conflict with a 19th century law, called the Posse Comitatus Act, that was meant to prohibit the military from acting as a domestic police force, Rumsfeld said in announcing the changes."
"The creation of NorthCom means that we now have the command assigned to defend the American people where they live and work, and it will be functioning in a supporting role to civil authorities as occasions arise," Rumsfeld told a Pentagon news conference. |
