“Hate to break with the crowd here, but I have some practical reservations about guns in dorm rooms. For starters, college students are not always careful about who is in and out of their dorm room. There friends are in and out, and friends of their friends, and on and on. And not all those people are always sober and responsible. Unless the student had a place to lock the gun away securely, I would be concerned about who might pick it up and get stupid with it.”

Well, we definitely have to forbid cars, voting, sex and alcohol, then. Hmmm... that used to be the case. It was called “In Loco Parentis” or some-such Latin phrase. It went out the window when we passed the Constitutional amendment making 18 year olds full citizens.

Repeal that amendment, and you might find some sympathizers.

Why would you make the assumption someone is incapable of safekeeping a weapon with out oversight and rules from someone like yourself
