I witnessed the Whitman massacre at UT in '66 (a friend of mine was wounded there), and am a CHL holder who is strongly in favor of the Campus Carry bill.
If the anti-gun guy who was there that day shows up at future hearings, your testimony would be valuable. My cousin was also there as an API reporter, his honeymoon was interrupted to cover the story.

You know, I'm (well, the conspiracy theorist in me, anyway is) starting to wonder if John Woods didn't apply to UT just so he could ride his hobby horse into town and "save the day" from us eeeevil CHL holders. :grumble
Probably, and if I didn't have roots here, I'd go enroll in Virginia where it's "against policy" but not "illegal" then come back and explain some stuff to Texas legislators and Woodheads.

Why would a person leave a place of a mass shooting to enroll where the first one took place in order to "get away"? I mean if that was his motive, which he stated before ... Maybe our offer and program was great, but that isn't why he said he came here.

They are waiting for a day when John Woods has a class he actually has to attend "rlol"
He sat in the gallery yesterday and they took pictures, so he could be interviewed for the TV news afterward, and he was.
He tweeted that two supporters were there, but they didn't get on TV

Re: Senate in progress now Link

well, maybe they'll have time to read our faxes and e-mails from Today ... Apparently Woodheads were busy all weekend.

66 survivors and family members of VA Tech tragedy sent letter to #Texas Senators opposing SB 354.
(However guns aren't "illegal" on campus at V.T. and apparently no one is trying to make them illegal there convincingly enough)
The million phone calls to #Texas politicians are done, now off to do a radio podcast ...on the matter.

lol sounds good.
For entertainment not long ago, they had "The clown of the day" either that or it was someone in a John Woods costume saying funny things ... not sure.
I enjoyed the Rabbi's prayer.

MAYOR OF CIUDAD JUAREZ and City Manager are there.

This could be interesting.
