A Not Quite Conversion

These days, I think differently about the Second Amendment. I now know that the conventional wisdom about firearms is often wrong-headed. You would think that gun control would automatically reduce violent crime, but that wouldn't be true. [More]
That's a good realization, Gregory Alan Thornbury, Dean of the School of Christian Studies at Union University.

So you guys are gonna drop this prohibition, then, right?
POSSESSING FIREARMS, OR WEAPONS. This is the possession, whether open or concealed, of any weapon (including, but not limited to paintball guns, slingshots and airsoft guns) that could be used to intimidate, scare, or harm others or possession of materials used to manufacture bombs, firearms, or weapons.
I said "Right?"

Slingshots?

Hey, David, there's a big guy named Goliath here to see you. Seems kinda angry. Good luck with that.

Prohibit "possession of materials used to manufacture bombs, firearms, or weapons" on campus?
Better shut down both the Science and Engineering Departments. A little knowledge is just like that apple from that story long ago.
Oh, and if anything goes wrong, just drop to your knees. Say a prayer while you are at it.
Jesus saves.
