They and other anti-gun groups are gloating about it - problem for them is, the entire thing reads like this:

"No Student shall, within the precincts of the University, introduce, keep or use any spirituous or vinous liquors, keep or use weapons or arms of any kind, or gunpowder, keep a servant, horse or dog, appear in school with a stick, or any weapon, nor, while in school, be covered without permission of the Professor, nor use tobacco by smoking or chewing, on pain of any of the minor punishments at the discretion of the Faculty, or of the board of Censors, approved by the Faculty."

You need to post the entire quote on their Facebook page! This is great!

They would simply delete it and block you from posting any additional information. That's how they face facts unfortunately.

I posted the quote about 5 mins ago. It has already been taken down.

I found this on their ROTC page.
**If tactical drill and military training were mandatory, doesn't this mean that Jefferson supplied arms to the students?

In the early days of the University, while Mr. Jefferson was still Rector, a voluntary military company existed on Grounds. Students filled the ranks, established their own chain of command, and conducted drills. In 1825, Mr. Jefferson made tactical drill and training mandatory. Such training, he hoped, would produce qualified officers for a national militia. He even foresaw military education developing into a recognized academic field of study. Within a decade, there arose a dispute over the issue of weapon keeping between the cadets and the faculty. The cadets wished to keep arms in their Lawn rooms on the Academical Village. Faculty members refused this request, demanding that weapons be kept in a separate armory. Without a compromise, the company fell idle for some 25 years

I posted the first 5 sentences on their facebook page. It was deleted in 1 minute.

They also posted it to twitter and someone replied about them missing the part about "without the permission of the professor". They can't block it there

[RPBrown]

Just checked. They removed my post and blocked me.

Those people are turning into just another Bloomberg joke.

Don't they have campus carry in a lot of other states and soon in Texas?

They are fighting a battle that has already been lost.
