Today marks the second anniversary of the shooting at Virginia Tech, A GUN FREE ZONE...

[a fool in paradise]

In protest of a new bill, UT students and faculty, will walk out of classes today at 11:30 a.m

Will the faculty be refunding their pay to students and taxpayers today?

“Like all constitutional rights, this right is not absolute,” Kessler said.

Your tax dollars at work.

[a fool in paradise]

If our enumerated constitutional Rights are not absolute, then where from come the protections to “abortion on demand” and “sex/marriage” with anyone of any sex you choose?

“Whether the amendment applies against state governments is currently an open question.

Tell me Mr. Kessler, does the 5th Amendment apply to the States? How about the 8th Amendment? How about the 1st Amendment? Do any of those 'apply' to the States?

People like Mr. Kessler need a good old fashioned Texas ass-kicking...

He said the court failed to clearly specify the standard of review to be used in Second Amendment cases when an individual challenges a law.

Mr. Kessler either hasn't read Heller or he's lying. Scalia was crystal clear about the 'standard of review'.

Say it after me Mr. Kessler..."strict scrutiny".

Don’t let the door hit ya . . . . You needn’t come back either.

[Mister Muggles]

Will there also be a candle light memorial tonight on campus for Charles Whitman?

The ‘logic’ of libs is just indescribable. They dont want law abiding citizens to carry on campus b/c theyd feel unsafe. Yet they are completely silent about crinimals who bring their guns on campus to commit murders/robberies. Whats wrong w/ their minds...its beyond understanding.

In protest of a new bill, UT students and faculty, will walk out of classes today at 11:30 a.m. and march to the steps of the Texas Capitol against guns on college campuses.

Students are free to attend classes or not. Although, they are also responsible for any material they may have missed in the class of non walkout professor.

I'm sure my daughter, who is both a grad student and an instructor at UT, did not walk out on her classes, regardless of how she might feel about the issue.. but she is MY daughter, the wife of a gun (rifle, pistol and shotgun) owner as well), and has been a shooter herself, alhtough not recently AFAIK.

As to the professors who did walk out.. fire 'em, tenured or not.

Darnit, we just want to be killed like normal people!

I thought that the organization called Students for Concealed Carry were having their annual “empty holster” week this next week...

I thought it might be neat to counter the walkout by standing around with empty holsters and eventually congregating at the foot of the clock tower...

But, it might be better not to politicize the tragedy of VT ourselves, but let those who oppose our right to keep and bear arms do so...

We should see if SCCC decides to elevate the message next week...

Should be interesting...

BTW, anyone know who the UT SCCC campus coordinator is???
