"Fool me once, shame on you... fool me twice, shame on conservatives for standing up for the constitution."

Pretty sure this is how it's written in a Virginia Tech textbook.

Edited to add: not trying to be insensitive, but some folks never learn, or refuse to learn.

Hopefully this will not be forgotten in 2013 legislature when we take up campus carry again. This is personal for me as I've worked in the (unarmed) security department at a private university since the dark ages. They still have the not here attitude even though we've had multiple incidents on campus over the years involving firearms. If campus carry were to pass at least the security department could depend on the students to protect them.

Person detained at the performing arts center was not the suspect. The BG is still at large.

I am sure there are people 'locked-down' that wish campus carry was in effect.
If the 2nd admendment only applies to muskets and muzzle-loaders, then the 1st admentment must apply only to the spoken or printed word. Printing must be done on hand presses, news stories must be written in longhand, no keyboards or electric processes may be used.
