You’re right about the nature of the campi being different, but I think sometimes the whole nature of the place has to be considered.

“If the person is 18 they right to own and possess a rifle, should not be infringed, same with a pistol if they’re over 21.”

Their OWNING is not infringed. Having it on someone else’s property IS. The campus has a right to disallow someone to bring in a gun, just as a house owner or restaurant owner has a right to disallow smoking in their property (but not the government).

As for all this defensiveness about college KIDS (and I emphasize that term), forget it. We were all that age and most of us, including me, were IN college. Spare me the “discrimination” nonsense; we were ALL of that “group”. I have an inkling of what it was like, and that was a while ago. Worse now, and it’s clear if you even watch the news.

Apparently, someone forgot to tell that to the State of Washington out here.

"You’re right about the nature of the campi being different, but I think sometimes the whole nature of the place has to be considered."

What's different is only the fact that deamonization of gun ownership has advanced, because of the efforts of the bliss ninnies. The nature of the students has not changed.

No. It's a dorm, so folks live there and it's a govm't dorm, so the Constitution applies. The right to self defense still exists on govm't property. "As for all this defensiveness about college KIDS (and I emphasize that term), forget it. We were all that age and most of us, including me, were IN college.

The dorm myself and others had guns in was known as the zoo and alcohol was consumed there on many occasions. Your deamonization of college students is as repulsive as the deamoniziton of blacks was when they were disarmed under the law. Bigotted catch all demeaning of blacks was used to disarm them with the first gun control laws, which were later extended to whites that weren't of the privileged political class.
