Ignorance gone to seed.
“Notify university officials whenever a student buys a gun.”
That is a chilling look into the fascist mind of the gun control mentality.
I agree. Those that should have them, can't.
Gun grabbers politicizing a tragedy. Not one of their suggestions would have prevented NIU from happening and they know it.
Also university presidents have absolutely no right to know if any student buys anything.
OK, lets do like UK. Ban guns for law abiding subjects. Gun crime goes up by 400%. People need gubermint protection and agree to higher taxes. Goobermint does nada, but talks a good story about the problem being with other countries without “progressive” gun laws. A variation on the theme of how socialist/communist countries blame their failures on other countries that are free and then attack them to steal their property for just a little reprive on collapse.
Totalitarian scumbags.
True, but here's the good news.
"We call on the presidential candidates to make gun violence prevention a priority issue."
Between the Heller decision and these VPC et al. clowns, having gun control as an issue hurts the left. If it's not Hillary, we got Barack Gungrabber Obama talking out of both sides of his mouth.
At Cornell College on Dec. 5, for example, a student asked Mr. Obama how his administration would view the Second Amendment. He replied: "There's a Supreme Court case that's going to be decided fairly soon about what the Second Amendment means. I taught Constitutional Law for 10 years, so I've got my opinion. And my opinion is that the Second Amendment is probably -- it is an individual right and not just a right of the militia. That's what I expect the Supreme Court to rule. I think that's a fair reading of the text of the Constitution. And so I respect the right of lawful gun owners to hunt, fish, protect their families." It's at the source, not the excerpt.
Obama evidently considers that de facto prohibition a "common-sense regulation," since he recently cited Washington's law as an example of constitutionally permissible gun control. "The notion that somehow local jurisdictions can't initiate gun safety laws to deal with gangbangers and random shootings on the street isn't borne out by our Constitution," he said.
I was reading about the "Bradley Effect," the supposed habit of whites to lie to poll takers when a black candidate is involved in an election. Bradley, a black, was ahead in the polls for Governor of CA in 1982. There also was Proposition # 15 that would ban handguns. The NRA led a voter registration drive at gunshops, and they signed up 300,000 new voters in CA. Prop 15 lost 63 - 37 percent, IIRC, and Bradley lost by 93,000 votes. VPC had the story at their site when I did a search. That's how I came across their plans for 2008.
Why do these people exist...
One gun.
One shot.
Game Over.

He used handguns and a shotgun, a pump IIRC.
* A complete ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
He just would have reloaded the pistols a couple of more times.
* Ensure that all gun sales at gun shows are subject to a background check.
* Establish a system whereby university officials are notified when a student purchases a gun from a gun dealer.”
None of those would have stopped this particular shooter, even if everyone, including him, obeyed the law (up to the point where he started shooting). He no longer went that school, so the notice, for whatever good it might have done, (None)
Typical liberal gun grabber nonsense. Punish those who had nothing to do with the crime.
the Bush Administration should act immediately to better enforce the existing federal ban on the importation of foreign-made assault weapons.

Yep, the libs are a-dancing again,,,
...on the graves of innocent victims...
First of all, it's none of their f#$&ing business if a law abiding student purchases a gun. Second, what are they going to do with this info? Force the student out of school? Force them into "counseling"? This burns my ass so bad!
