Making both local and national news is a proposal by Assemblywoman Michelle Fiore, R-Las Vegas, to overturn college authorities’ right to prohibit carrying of concealed firearms on campuses.
It seems as though liberals find themselves on the horns of a dilemma in opposing her campus carry bill while simultaneously bewailing what they claim is an increase in sexual violence on college campuses.
Fiore said: “If these young, hot little girls on campus have a firearm I wonder how many men will want to assault them … the sexual assaults will go down once these sexual predators get a bullet in their head.”

My major problem with this storyline is its statement of "college authorities "right". They have no more "right" than any other on campus, student or faculty. They may - upon judicial review - have the "power" to regulate on-campus CCW.
I'm increasingly concerned with the casual and vacuous misuse of "rights", when context and law define those actions as "powers" granted/ceded to positions/individuals by citizens. No LEO has any "rights" exceeding those of any citizen. He is granted - by citizens - well-defined "powers" enabling them to perform their assigned duties. No political figure, regardless of his position, has more "rights" than any citizen. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
