DENVER (AP) - A group that opposes guns on campus filed an argument with the Colorado Supreme Court urging the justices to dismiss a lawsuit that seeks to give students the right to carry firearms at colleges.
The Washington, D.C.-based Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence said in a brief filed Monday that the Court should "protect students and faculty from the severe risks posed by guns." In April, the Colorado Court of Appeals ruled in favor of a gun-rights group that sued the University of Colorado. The group argued that the university's 1994 policy banning concealed weapons violates state gun laws.
The Colorado Supreme Court has agreed to take up the case.

IMHO nothing much has changed. They replaced one retiring justice with the court’s first lesbian democRat. How do you think she’ll vote?

Hey DC ... FU! I am sick and tired of some DC elitist a**hole trying to tell the rest of the Country how we should live.
Leave us alone. If Colorado wants to allow students to protect themselves, fine. That is their business, and none of yours! If that makes you feel all wiggly inside - stay off Colorado campuses. Send your kids to some other State where the schools have big "we're un-armed" bulls-eyes on them for maniacs.
Read the ironic Brady Bunch statement about protecting students and faculty. I’m sure we agree with that. The difference is they think preventing students from being armed is protecting them, while ignoring the fact that previous campus shooters WERE armed.Hey Brady Bunch. If you were in a room full of hostages being shot one by one would you wish you could shoot back before they get to you? Liberalism is truly a mental disorder.
“What is the makeup of the Colorado Supreme Court? Several years ago, they were quite liberal.”
They read the ACLU brief. Change a few words and issue it as their opinion.
