I hope those who were responsible for the passage of the "gun-free zones on school campuses" in Virginia can manage to sleep well every night from now on,

I hope they get their asses sued off myself.

And just to be hyper technical about it, I don't think there was ever actually a law passed making the campus a 'gun free' zone. That was a VT policy. IIUC the Legislature was trying to pass a law forcing VT to abide by current VA law.

When that effort failed, VT simply instituted a policy of expelling any student caught with a firearm legal or no.

So if I've got it right there's really only a small number of people responsible for the 'gun free' (guess not) thing and that's the VT President and his lackeys on the Board.

They should all be sued until they have nothing left.

Virginia is a concealed carry state. The legislature, however, passed specific laws allowing a university to "opt out".

"However, these provisions do not prevent the University, from prohibiting students and University employees from carrying firearms on campus, even if those individuals hold state permits to carry concealed handguns, since specific statutes grant the University authority to regulate the conduct of students and University employees."

A year ago, the legislature tried (and failed) to remove those "specific statutes".

-- There are a LOT of people in the USA that are responsible for 'gun free zones'.

Some of them right here on FR, -- those who advocate that local and state officials can ignore the 2nd, on the silly grounds that it is not our Law of the Land.
