The House of Delegates passed a bill late Wednesday night that would require colleges to allow students with a concealed carry permit to bring guns on campus. The vote came after many critics of the bill thought it had died earlier in the day.
House Bill 2519, known as The Campus Self-Defense Act, passed, 59-41, after hours of heated debate and proposed amendments.
“We heard the sky was going to fall with constitutional carry, and tonight we’ve heard a lot about the same arguments with campus carry,” said Del. Eric Householder, R-Berkeley. “Just remember, ladies and gentlemen: Take your blinders off. When we hear the phrase ‘shall not be infringed,’ it’s a very important right.” |

| Danielle Walker has serious issues with logic and critical thinking. Her 'rebuttal' argument is pitifully juvenile. The point is that if she'd had a gun, she wouldn't have BEEN a rape victim to begin with, and the bit about her being so stressed that she'd commit suicide is inane. *knock-knock* Danielle? HELLO? Anybody home? |

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| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times.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 For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in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 If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal.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) |
