It's the whole Heller Decision arguement - opponents were saying something to the effect that the 2nd amendment only allows for RTKBA in a "Militia" IIRC.

Exactly. And now Justice somebody or other is saying that a "smarter" SC down the road may overturn Heller. I thought a SC decision was the end of the road?!?!?

Been there, hit it...











Should concealed pistol license holders be allowed to carry guns in classrooms and dormitories at public universities and colleges?








  • Yes 73%


  • No 26%



Created on Dec 20, 2009


Total Votes: 1,047











and made a comment too:





I'm a returning student/retired Marine GySgt, who has always had a license to carry concealed in at least one state since the late 80's.



When the state has given me a thorough investigation, and then a license to carry concealed all throughout the state, why shouldn't I be able to use a firearm to defend myself in that one particular location?



If there is a fire, there are fire extinguishers and dedicated fire suppression systems throughout campus buildings, as well as a fire department just minutes away. No one ever suggests that students shouldn't be capable of responding to a fire.



A firearm is just as much an effective response to averting a tragedy, one that has been allowed to happen too often already when well-meaning legislators and faculty members created an environment where someone's murderous intent and aggression will go unchecked.

The webmasters over at USA Today are still laughing about people voting in that poll from 2007!  

Over at another message board where I'm on the site staff I delete posts on this every time they pop up, I wish people would quit passing this old poll around!

It may be old but it's another chance to educate concerning the flawed premis of the question.

2A does NOT give individuals any rights !

What it does is prevent the government from infringing upon an understood, pre-existing right.

Exactly.

The government doesn't give anyone any rights. These rights are self evident.

And hit them.

That USA Today poll is not even sort of close to being close. (We're winning at 97% with 4,902,920 votes.)

We're winning the campus carry one handily at 76%, but we should continue to hit it, since there are only 1000 total votes or so, and that percentage can change quickly.
