Hello
Hey hey.
Don’t try to start something, now, will ya? LOL!
Crazy stuff at Virginia Teach huh?
bttt
I thought that’s what I heard.
Afternoon.
I'm pro life, but I don't see how the president making a phone call to those assembled at a pro life rally has had any significant impact on abortion in America.
I am fully aware however, that it is the president's Supreme Court appointments that can lead to a change in the abortion debate...from a national debate, to 50 state debates--should Roe ever be overturned.
Just announced on Fox News:
22 dead; 21 wounded...1 arrested....
What a sad day in our history...:0(
Total nightmare.
Our new church holds 100 in the auditorium, 15 in eaach classroom, and 10 in the nursery, plus two fellowship halls that can hold 30+ each.
I wonder what casued this to happen
Already done, son, and worth every penny. What would we do without FreeRepublic?
ABC saying 30 dead now.
You got it.
You guys should really think about taking this to court. I would say such a law is against the 1st amendment.
Gun bill gets shot down by panel
HB 1572, which would have allowed handguns on college campuses, died in subcommittee.
By Greg Esposito
381-1675
A bill that would have given college students and employees the right to carry handguns on campus died with nary a shot being fired in the General Assembly.
House Bill 1572 didn’t get through the House Committee on Militia, Police and Public Safety. It died Monday in the subcommittee stage, the first of several hurdles bills must overcome before becoming laws.
The bill was proposed by Del. Todd Gilbert, R-Shenandoah County, on behalf of the Virginia Citizens Defense League. Gilbert was unavailable Monday and spokesman Gary Frink would not comment on the bill’s defeat other than to say the issue was dead for this General Assembly session.
Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker was happy to hear the bill was defeated. “I’m sure the university community is appreciative of the General Assembly’s actions because this will help parents, students, faculty and visitors feel safe on our campus.”
Del. Dave Nutter, R-Christiansburg, would not comment Monday because he was not part of the subcommittee that discussed the bill.
Most universities in Virginia require students and employees, other than police, to check their guns with police or campus security upon entering campus. The legislation was designed to prohibit public universities from making “rules or regulations limiting or abridging the ability of a student who possesses a valid concealed handgun permit ... from lawfully carrying a concealed handgun.”
