I'm a big supporter of the Second Amendment, but I'm a little concerned at the thought of students arming themselves to protect their "student rights" - against the campus police? I must have missed something; this doesn't sound right.
A "near-pacifist"?? Do they drink near-beer and get nearly pregnant?
Their support for guns on campus was the result of what all four students agreed was a "peculiar" blend of politics that encompasses Republicans and Greens, far-rightists and far-leftists, liberals and libertarians.
"The students admitted the term 'militia' conjured images of extreme-right hate groups..."
Wha?
Perhaps they could take care of the damn pigeons while they are patrolling. :)
Obviously they don't study history there, just drug chemistry.
Armed militia's conjure up images of leftist dictators/ totalitarian regimes such a Fidel Castro and small time social communists like him in south America forcing their idiology on the masses.
These "students" aren't even doing that, they just don't like being busted for carrying/dealing and are willing to shoot cops trying to do their job.
These "students" need to be locked up and deprogramed before they hurt someone.
"including profiling"
Yeah if they profile them as liberal morons. Who else would willingly go to SUNY New Paltz?

Like in Venezuela, Cuba, and Haiti?
I thought this kid went to a school?
Bookmarking for a record of the "true conservatives" that think something is wrong with 2A.
""Guns won't protect our rights, but cameras will," Partington said."
Moron, never bring a camera to a gunfight. Guns are bad, mkay?
That being said, I could accept a school making reasonable regulations, such as requesting that weapons to be concealed (so as not to be a distraction) or prohibiting the open display of arms in groups of students (to prevent the kind of intimidation discussed in this article). Students should have the right to individual self-defense, but I don't know about forming "militias" to regulate campus activity. That could easily devolve into the abuse of rights of other students.
Yeah, well neither the Symbionese Liberation Army nor the Black Panthers -- LEFT-WING (and murdering) MILITIAS -- used the term militia. But of all the "militias", it has been the left-wing ones that have been the most murderous and violent, in the twentieth century and since.
let me first start by saying that outright, i do not support your conservative views, i am here in defense of the SUNY New Paltz Militia. There is a responsibillity factor when the 'Campus police' want to obtain and use assault rifles in lieu of other means of ways to subdue one who distrubs the peace of the college. What these students are doing is not criminal, nor is it neglegent. The views expressed on this website are that of closemindedness, as Mr. R.J Parington III, President Justin Holmes and President Dan Curtis have well thought out and brought to the attention of the public this militia through their view, a view that tells of ways the students can protect their rights, which have been violated constantly at this college. If you would at least take the time to view the website, www.wikipaltz.com, you would see that the idea of an "Armed Militia" is not so much in relation of weapons in defense, but rather the prospect of defending the students rights against the law enforcement, which has been known at time to be racist and tries its best to dispose of President Holmes and President Curtis. Just vist the aforementioned website and you'll better understand what these three brilliant men are trying to do.
sincearly,
