We need a law banning idiot legislators, to include penalties for those who vote for them.

[D-Chivas]

Brilliant. Legislating in exactly the wrong direction.

That's what Democrats do.

[Scotswife]

“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.”

oh whoop-de-doo!!!

How about drafting legislation that requires colleges to expell whackos who terrify their classmates, professors, and private tutors?

[DakotaRed]

Now, if they can just get the loner nutcases to agree, maybe everything will be okay. Otherwise, we just have another few thousand kids unarmed and unsafe.

[madprof98]

Somebody needs to push for a law to allow colleges and universities to call parents and tell them to stop by and pick up their mentally ill children before they hurt themselves and others.

You got to wonder who voted for an idiot like that..
Oh yea, it was the democRATS.
Stupid is as stupid does...

[ctdonath2]

Do it again.

[subterfuge]

Do it again.

Can't argue with that.

[LibWhacker]

Do it again.

Can't argue with that.

That's right. The rats don't let one little loss defeat them. They keep hammering away at it. We must, also.

I broke the law when I attended college by keeping a gun in my dorm room and I don't regret it one bit. My university had problems with local off campus gangs coming on campus and breaking into dorms, robbing/assaulting students etc. and campus security was a joke.

My son and daughter will be heading off to college in a few years and I will encourage them to take a gun regardless of the law...

[Eva]

Is that supposed to be a response or an excuse? Gun were banned in dorm rooms at Virginia Tech. If one of the students had had a gun, maybe there wouldn’t be 32 people dead.

"We need a law banning idiot legislators, to include penalties for those who vote for them."

ROTFLMAO ... I agree, but then we'd have NO government left (come to think of it, no "left" government would be OK!)

[sportutegrl]

Don’t judge the state by one liberal dem gun grabber. Louisiana has only one N.

[Atlas Sneezed]

“There generally is not a need to have weapons on a university campus...”

Nor is there generally a need for fire extinguishers.

[subterfuge]

The rats don't let one little loss defeat them. They keep hammering away at it. We must, also.

It seems that the libs amoung us are scampering to enact new gun laws before conservatives can enact pro gun legislation, which I think the American people are warming up to.

[coloradan]

“This policy worked so very well in VA yesterday that we want to enact it here too.”

[Stayfree]

It is already against the law to murder people and it is already against the law to shoot people and even if owning any gun were to be against the law...what is going to stop a maniac from stealing a gun from the military, police personnel or even a museum and running amuck killing people?????????

NOT A DAMNED F.....G THING
unless you either lock up all the maniacs or else you allow well-trained citizens to carry protective weapons. Deputize them and train them even better that the police...pretty cheap police force enhancement, I say.

[Stayfree]

NO GUNS ON VT CAMPUS..........EXCEPT FOR THE GUY WHO INTENDS TO KILL A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO GUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!
,BR> GREAT POLICY....HOW ABOUT TAKING AWAY THE GUNS FROM THE POLICE SO THEY DON'T HURT ANYBODY, LET'S SEE HOW LONG IT IS BEFORE SOME IDIOT LEGISLATOR WITH AN IQ OF -200 COMES UP WITH THAT IDEA!!!!!!!

Boy, VT's ban sure stopped Cho.

What planet are these idiots from? One where their mothers routinely drop them on their heads?

[USMCPOP]

How about a law that says you can’t ignore a sick, angry psycho individual and pretend they don’t exist? Or a non-binding resolution that says we really, really don’t approve of this behavior? Stupid legislators! Better yet, ask one of these unbalanced individuals what they think about lawmakers.
