Just what don't these people understand about the above words?
How about CRIMINAL CONTROL?????
If You are in the area and can make it let's make them answer REAL questions.
Davidson College - Davidson, NC www.davidson.edu/ Davidson College is a highly selective independent liberal arts college for 1920 students located 20 minutes north of Charlotte in Davidson, N.C..
Where is the NRA?
My daughter is Davidson '10 - think I'll email 'em and ask.
Looking at the occupations of the speakers/participants, it looks like the panel is 100% anti-gun. There will probably be “good balance” in the discussions (i.e. “guns be bad, we’uns should get rid of them, and only let police and the military have them).
My Email:
As a Davidson parent, I was curious to know if your gun rights discussion panel is going to have any representation from a firearms/ constitutional rights organization, shooting sports organization, etc. There are many articulate and reasoned firearms rights advocates in North Carolina who could bring useful information to your panel.
I was deeply involved in firearms rights litigation about 20 years ago, and one of the things I learned was that there is a profound lack of factual knowledge on the part of most of the people who sit on these panels. Unfortunately, that includes chiefs of police, because they generally are (1) political appointees, with all that implies; and (2) perhaps surprisingly to you, do not have the in-depth knowledge that your average shooting sports participant has as a matter of course. Most police chiefs view a firearm as simply another tool of the trade, like the radio, and some are openly hostile to civilian possession of firearms. That became quickly obvious in the case we handled.
One of the reasons we sent our daughter to Davidson was the school’s tradition of examining all sides of a question fairly and honestly. She found that tradition to still be alive and well, unlike many colleges where dissenting views are suppressed and even punished.
I hope that you will continue to uphold that important tradition.
With best regards,
Hi, long time lurker 1st post.
Saw this in the local birdcage liner and thought I’d see if anybody else was in the area and had time to go to this “panel discussion”
