Don't you just love stupid comments like:
SaraJoy Pond, a 20-year-old graphics design major, said she is uncomfortable knowing someone sitting next to her in class may have a gun. "I don't think it solves the problem. I wouldn't carry a gun," she said

So, suddenly the person next to them goes insane simply because they have a gun????? I think someone else said this is projecting their own impulses on another person, to say that if SaraJoy had a gun, SHE would go off. I would love for a bad guy to burst into class and the person she is 'uncomfortable' about takes that bad guy out before he can do anything or someone with a gun saves her from being raped. Maybe the twit would change her tune!
or this:
Campus Police Capt. Bob Chaffee said officials are trying to discourage other students from getting gun permits. "It doesn't strike me that it makes the campus any safer to have a lot of guns on campus," he said

Maybe someone should strike this idiot. What a moronic, idiotic, dufus statement. Damn right it makes it safer. All he has to do is read the story from Orlando, FL several years ago where a serial rapist was at work. The local PD and newspaper got together and conducted a training course and publicized it. The rapes came to a screeching halt. Apparently the rapist was smarter than this particular cop. I don't remember what year it was, but the report I read said that Orlando was the only major U.S. city that particular year to have a drop in crime.
