Hamline University has suspended student Troy Scheffler after Scheffler replied to an e-mail from Hamline Vice President of Student Affairs David Stern to the Hamline community offering counseling for Hamline students in the wake of the Virginia Tech shootings. In his reply, Scheffler wrote that a ban on students’ right to carry concealed firearms on the Virginia Tech campus was part of the problem and that Hamline should eliminate similar policies. He also criticized the school’s diversity programs.
Disagree and they exile you and coerce you into a mental evaluation (I wonder if this would meet the criteria for the proposed NICS expansion bill?). And their "invitation" is mandatory.
You know who else employed such tactics, right?

You'd have to be somewhat crazy to want to attend a school with idiotic policies that could get you killed.
Good luck with that! Unless you plan on going to school in Utah you really don't have a choice sadly anywhere else.
but, but, but, that couldn't happen. Half the gun community tells me 2640 is a boon to gunowners and that mental evaluation thing will never be abused.
Sort of makes you wonder, doesn't it, if that half of the gun community doesn't really need some mental evaluation. I am seriously concerned about their denial of reality.
Now we know what really happened to Joe Stalin, don't we?
"Half the gun community tells me 2640 is a boon to gunowners and that mental evaluation thing will never be abused."
Tell them, then, that it doesn't give the government new authority to deny weapons to people who have been adjudicated mentally defective, and that this power has already been abused. It does enable storing and sharing of lots of data that isn't really relevant to the future intentions of the person, though.
If that doesn't push them over the edge, you can tell them that mentally-ill, adjudicated mentally defective, and actually-dangerous are all different from one another.
If the federal government has the power to do this, then I want a detailed list of every anti-depressant that every member of Congress uses, along with the strength of the medications, and the regularity and type of therapy they undergo. I figure they must be on something strong if they're going to leave the determination of dangerous mental illness to NICS users.
OOOH, I smell lawyers getting rich and the university getting a serious wacking.
TJH, I have tried all that and more. For example I pointed out the restoration of rights is already law, but has never been funded, so why would they think this would be different. It has done no good.
I gave up. Now I hope they get 2640. You sometimes must let the slow child sit on the hot stove, because he will not believe the truth of it until his ass is burned. I am hoping that when they get this and they see what happens they will decide that unity of purpose means them joining us, not what they now want, which is them leaving the field to the enemy and demanding we join them in retreat in the name of unity.
Nobody has a right to be that willfully stupid and demand the same of others, but they are doing while proclaiming they believe in the second amendment.
The sooner they get burned the better for all of us.
