Brilliant. Legislating in exactly the wrong direction.

“to make clear that the state’s public universities can ban guns in student dorm rooms.”

It worked so well in Virginia everyone should do it.

“There generally is not a need to have weapons on a university campus, and I believe the prominent belief is that having weapons does not contribute to the campus atmosphere in a positive way,” she said.

Generally there isn't a "need", but when you have a deranged sociopath hellbent on killing as many people as he can, it would be nice if he weren't the only person in the building that is armed.

In reaction to the Virginia Tech shooting spree, a Louisiana state lawmaker and higher education officials plan to unveil legislation Wednesday (April 18) to make clear that the state’s public universities can ban guns in student dorm rooms.

Do we even need to bother to tell him that guns were banned on the Tech campus?

I suggest a law that no bill, related to a tragedy can be introduced before all the victims are buried.

Hell, do away with dorms, put them all in military style barracks and run daily shakedown inspections!
