State Rep. Rick Gallot says he will discuss legislation he plans to re-introduce to prohibit the possession of firearms in college dormitories at 1:30 p.m. today on the steps of the Lincoln Parish Courthouse in Ruston.So in light of the horrendous tragedy that took place on the Virginia Tech campus, he is reintroducing legislation to ensure that all Louisiana campuses are put under the same conditions that enabled the horrendous massacre. Genius.“In light of the horrendous tragedy that took place (Monday) on the Virginia Tech campus, I will reintroduce legislation to close a loophole that permits possession of a gun on school campuses,” Gallot said.
LOL... Well said.
Why not do something useful, like outlawing major storms? Major storms impinging on the territory of Louisiana would be subject to fines and imprisonment, depending upon the severity of the damage; and enhancements depending upon whether lives were lost.
it’s truly amazing people like this can maintain their balance while they walk..how stupid can he get??
Exactly - it was the lack of armed students that allowed the VT massacre to continue for over 20 minutes. Had this been attempted in any typical southern city, the perp would have been gunned down within a minute by armed citizens.
I simply cannot trust someone with a mustache like his.
How about banning psychos on campus ?
The gun ban worked in VA-on a campus of 28,000 students and hundreds of professors and ancillary personnel , excluding LE -only one person had a gun.
Just one.
The gun control advocates couldn’t ask for a better statistic.
I think the dialogue should be about how we deal with the mentally ill .
Are less mental patients being confined to institutions because of the hope that new meds can better treat the problem ?
Have our legislators and judges made it harder to commit the mentally ill ?
Is the fear of a lawsuit or political correctness causing more mentally ill to roam free ?
He'd vote twice for you, shouldn't you do the same?
Yeah, since it worked so well in Virginia, why don’t you try it in Louisiana too?
Wouldn’t it be more effective passing a law that prevents murders on college campuses?
Metrosexual.
goodnesswins wants to ban IDIOT DEMOCRATS from being involved in ANY WAY with government, politics, etc.
Of course, as we all know, someone intent upon going onto a campus and shooting people would never think of violating a law against them taking a gun onto campus to do it.
I have even heard the unbelievably stupid suggestion that people should not be permitted to purchase more than 100 rounds of ammo at a time. The person suggesting it honestly thought that would help prevent shootings such as occurred at VaTech.
