A proposed gun ban on university campuses throughout the state was unveiled Tuesday, with several gun-rights groups saying the measure has no teeth and gives people "a false sense of security" on campus.At first glance, I'd say the gun activists fighting this lack a sense of humor, because this has gotta be an in-your-face to the enuretics. The only thing I'd add to the bill is a requirement for anti-gun students and faculty to wear sheep costumes with targets painted on them while on campus. That, and addressing anyone who has chosen not to render themselves contemptible as "Master."
SB251, sponsored by Sen. Greg Bell, R-Fruit Heights, would allow students to choose to room only with students who do not have concealed weapons permits and let faculty designate their offices as gun-free zones.
An individual faculty member would have to write a letter requesting no concealed weapons be allowed in his or her office, as well as post a sign declaring the office gun-free. The school would also be required to provide some type of secure gun storage outside of faculty offices so concealed carry permit holders could store weapons before entering a gun-free office.

Aphosian said...the bill contains no punishments for those who violate the gun-free zone rules. Without these sanctions, the bill just imposes rules on those who most likely are no threat."
If they're no threat, why punish them? Indeed, why have this foolish ban at all?
