I said this about my college campus years ago. Why not just put a big flashing red sign up that says, ATTENTION, NO ONE HERE IS ARMED EXCEPT FOR YOU MR. CRIMINAL, PLEASE DO AS YOU PLEASE.

The reason crime rates drop after CWPs are allowed is because Mr. Robber is a little more picky about when/where he decides to rob. If he thinks the guy at the candy bar rack might be packing heat, he's a little less likely to rob Apu the store clerk.

Here's my favorite quote:
"You don't like the fact that you can't have a gun on your college campus? Drop out of school," said Peter Hamm, a spokesman for the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.

My response would have been, don't like guns and the 2nd Amendment, drop outta this country.

when some sociopath is shooting down the sheeple at will in the hallway... who do you want to be barricaded in the room with... mr Hamm from the brady bunch "guns are ugly and evil" or....

Some guy with a cc permit and a 45 Kimber with 3 dot sights?

The NRA is doing this wrong.. we should be using the tactics of the left and... anyone who is denied the right to carry... anywhere including schools... and then becomes the helpless victim of a sociopath... The NRA should fund a lawsuit for him, or his surviving relatives, against all who made sure the poor bastard was unarmed and helpless.

I like that idea Laz. If Joe Blow can sue the gun company for whacko shooting the place up and him getting iinjured. I should be able to sue the gov't for not letting me legally carry my weapon to protect myself.

Conservatives have always been afraid to fight the battle the way liberals do.

Not that were afraid we just think men slapping other men and yelling "owe that hurt" is lame.. The perfect visual on that would be Napoleon Dynamite

If the NRA would start doing something like that I wouldn't have a problem giving them my money. I quit the NRA about 5 years ago. I believe in what it stands for but I don't agree with the current policies of it.

They should stop paying for lobbyists and start hiring lawyers. Everytime someone is shot in a gun free zone then those lawyers should come out of the woodwork filing law suites againsts every private, local, state, and federal agency that made it a gun free zone.

Maybe when people have to start paying out the nose because they can't control and defend their gun free zone as well as a legally armed citizen can they'll understand just what the second ammendment really means.

If I KNEW that was what my dues were paying for, I'd sign back up in a second. As it is the NRA is a paper tiger with no real teeth.

All "Liberals are girly men" jokes aside, the Republican party has always been afraid of fighting dirty. As the liberals lie, cheat and slander their way into positions, the republicans try to keep their hands clean of it.

Logic and anti gun people do not mix.

When you fear firearms and freedom, reason can not be your strong point.

That would likely turn into a fight between the NRA and the ACLU (only as friends of the court of course). A fight I would pay to see.

this is a satire, but it is exactly what those who support gun free zones think will happen. It really is rather sad.

That's pretty funny.

My money is on the NRA in this fight..

Them boys are packing heat..

The ACLU is packing Rainbow lollypops:D

I myself would love to see someone file suit for violating their constitutional rights..

Would be interesting to see where this would go..

Just a side note I doubt you would win any suit on school campus but would make for some interesting arguments.

tazers should be issued to every schoolteacher in the US.

It'd boost the national grade average up and decrease the school shootings.

Win-win in my book.

hornet.. you might want to take a look at what the NRA IS doing not what it is not.

They got the guns of the katrina victims back.. they support all sorts of laws and second amendment candidates.. they lobby for gun rights.

I can see you not wanting to support them if you think they are not doing enough but if you aren't taking the $35 a year you gave them and giving it to some other pro second amendment group then..

your are not helping a bit. you are part of the problem. If the NRA had 70 million members.. or if they had every gun owner.. they would be able to fight more than the cautious fights.. they would have bigger teeth.

you pulling out is making them less effective. sorry.. I am sure that you are passionate and a friend but... if you are doing nothing but a protest pullout of the NRA.. you aren't helping much.

There are several pro second amendment rights groups who are much more aggressive (but less effective) than the NRA that you could support if you don't already.

I think people with ccw permits should be able to go anywhere from a police station, court room or even a school, As long as they can get approved for a ccw there should not be any restrictions.
