The libs love big government with lots of laws, but let there be one law passed that they don't like and they're screaming bloody murder.
They always seem to forget that when their beloved police state arrives that the intellectuals will be among the first ones cleansed.

I would ask the staff who (note who, not what) it is that they are afraid of. A unhinged student, angry coworker, random jerk of the street? Then run this little thought experiment... Would such a person be stopped by one of their cute little signs banning firearms?
Oh, since this is CU Boulder how about this. Since you're always talking about this freedom and that right... Why are you, yes you CU Boulder trampling on others' rights?

right because a nut job with a gun, out to wreak havoc upon the population there, will see the
no guns allowed sign and leave their guns at home.

When you strip away all of the shining rhetoric, the truth remains that the overriding dominant driver of Totatlitarian Elites is fear of the masses....

I had a shotgun in my closet all the time I was in college but until this moment, it never occurred to me that I could, in fact maybe should, shoot my English teacher.

That and they do not trust themselves to handle guns properly.

I would change one sentence.
From “...faculty members, many of whom were deeply disturbed...”, to
“...faculty members, many of whom ARE deeply disturbed...”

why doesnt it take all of about 10 seconds to explain to these enlightened brainiacks that a percentage of their students have and always will be armed, law or no law ???
and since they obviously are too stoopit to realize this on their own, they obviously should have their licenses yanked until they can figgure it out...

A little fear in the elites is a good thing.

"I don't want to be surrounded by someone who's armed," said Paul Levitt, an English professor at CU. (snip) "Some classes are taught aggressively; some are taught passively," he said. "My approach to teaching is to challenge the students, and they don't always take too kindly to that."
Levitt's imprecise command of the spoken language ("surrounded" by one armed person?) makes me further question how one "challenges" students in a college English class. Given the general lack of spelling and grammar skills shown by the college age group, does he place himself in mortal danger by being a spelling/grammar Nazi? Are there impassioned debates about whether Shakespeare really existed and wrote his works or was it Roger Bacon? Does the inability to develop a thesis statement in a composition make him confrontational with the freshmen? Many academics have no grasp of what true freedom really means when applied as envisioned by the founders.

And I don’t want to be surrounded by panty-wetting,tenured, Marxists. But if you go to college, odds are you will be.

Meaning that she attempts to brainwash students and is suddenly afraid due to a guilty conscience of what might happen to her.

Ummm, surrounded by one person? And you’re an English Professor? Hmmm...

Well, if all you august and indispensable professor are so worried, then you are free to find other employment elsewhere. Oh, wait, you don't want to give up your tenured slot. Then stop acting like spoiled 12-year olds and get over it. Actually, if a CCW licensee is in your class, you should be PAYING them for armed security.

Cowards. Sissified cowards.

People who object to weapons aren’t abolishing violence, they’re begging for rule by brute force, when the biggest, strongest animals among men were always automatically ‘right’. Guns ended that, and social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make it work.

"I had a shotgun in my closet all the time I was in college but until this moment, it never occurred to me that I could, in fact maybe should, shoot my English teacher." Why? For failing to teach you the proper rules of punctuation?
