Colorado Court Overturns Campus Concealed Gun Ban
The Colorado Court of Appeals ruled that University of Colorado students who have a permit to carry concealed weapons can now carry them on campus. In February, Colorado State University decided not to allow such students to carry guns, but that may now be overturned. There was probably a lot of cheering by gun groups in Colorado as well as by some students and teachers.
In their wisdom, officials at Colorado State University decided on the ban because they were worried about another Columbine or Virginia Tech happening. I mean imagine you are a teacher and you decide to flunk a student and he has a gun. Or worse, you decide not to give an honors student an A and give him a B+ instead, and he has a hidden weapon. I hope you made out your will. It is a jungle in the school with all the competition. But I'm talking about USC, Syracuse, and Miami, not Colorado.
The student body of Colorado State University at Fort Collins had raised a roar over the gun policy. Sophomore David Ambrose said, "Banning guns on campus make students second class citizens compared with the rest of Colorado." Colorado is a rural state and many students and faculty are hunters. I have nothing against hunting or owning guns. There is definitely a cowboy mentality in Colorado. I can understand that you might want to do a little quail hunting before class and you want to drive directly to college. But carrying a concealed weapon to class, even with a permit, is just wrong.
Most campuses across the nation have weapons restrictions on campus, including some conservative states. Oh well we can't win them all.

Like it or not, but often the more political power you have, the less likely you are to let people know what you're really after. You may even de-emphasize who you really are.
And, according to their own responses, the largely affluent members think the current system gives too much help to the poor. And the primarily white members are more likely than most Americans, even than most Republicans, to think too much focus has been spent on the problems of blacks. In fact they are more than twice as likely as the average American to think the current administration favors blacks over whites.
In another example, the mixing of journalism and police work on America's

New Hampshire State Representative Nick Levasseur wrote on Facebook. "Anime is a prime example of why two nukes just wasn't enough". This is a stupid and insensitive remark. Nuking Japan was a horrible thing that we had to do and it is extremely insensitive to make light of it. I don't know what else to say. It was a stupid comment so let it be.
