College Football Player Gun Bans Could Be Ripe for Legal Challenge

More than what?
The stupid gun ban extends beyond the field, beyond team activities, beyond the school. It intrudes and infringes on private choices to exercise supposedly unalienable rights. And while some may argue that many “college athletes” don’t have the requisite judgment and moral development to be trusted with guns, such rights aren’t something that can be legitimately withheld – at least without full due process and all that implies.  Barring that, any such mandates are capricious, collectivist, tyrannical and un-American.

It would be interesting if a patriotic student athlete defied the ban, bought a handgun, informed his coach and was subsequently barred from playing. I'd bet on that game.
