Sick and Tired of "Feel Good" Laws

Today I was reading the newspaper and saw a story about the Colorado State University administrators attempt to pass a gun ban on campus. Once again, the liberal left wing is attempting to lull themselves into a false sense of security by enacting "rules" that will keep the boogieman away. They believe that by putting into place this "strongly worded" memorandum, nothing bad will ever happen to them while on campus. The rules will make the CSU campus in Ft. Collins and Pueblo a safe zone where criminals will fear to tread. Hmmm, do YOU believe that?

So let's see if the logic behind their actions works in this scenario:

A 28 year old, mentally ill young man, hostile towards a young women, decides to launch a violent attack on the CSU campus. He is angry at several months of transgressions that he has deemed were levied against him by a young, attractive female student. He has tried to get her attention by talking with her, sending her notes and flowers, and offering to help her do her duties in the school chemistry lab. Each contact with her resulted in his being snubbed and not taken seriously by her. The last time she told him to leave her alone or she would get her boyfriend to come tell him to stop. Her BOYFRIEND!? Doesn't she know that HE is her boyfriend and this other guy is just using her! His hatred has eaten away at him until he can no longer tolerate her denial anymore. If she is not his, then she will not be with anyone...


So Mr. Hotblood loads up his dad's .357 Magnum and sticks it in his backpack. He knows she will be in the lab at 2:00 pm and figures he will ask her one more time to be his girl. If she does not accept his advance he will shoot her and her stupid boyfriend. Hell, while he is at it, he'll make them all pay. ALL OF THEM WILL PAY! He steps out of his car and fingers the gun in his pack. As he walks toward the lab he stops cold in his tracks... Oh NO, this campus has a gun ban and he is breaking the rules! Confused, he can't decide what to do. Go forth with his plan or possibly get in trouble with the campus adminstration. He isn't a student at the school but if he ever wanted to go there he might not be able to if he gets caught with his gun. He knows that his decision means he may lose her forever, but not wanting to violate the rules in the memo, he slowly turns around and walks away...

This is what the 3 monkeys in the CSU administration believe will happen. How about you, does this seem rational or realistic? I certainly don't. This logic is just plain screwed. In reality, the administrations rule can only infringe the rights of the LAW ABIDING CITIZIENS to protect themselves. You see, they want to include in the ban concealed carry permit holders weapons as well. The are in fact creating a safe zone but not the one they thought.  They only created a safe zone for the bad guy because he KNOWS no one there will have the power to stop him. Crime is about POWER and a criminal with a weapon, unchecked, and unafraid has power in excess.

I would rather see him stroll onto campus, and instead of her becoming a victim, she draws her Glock 26 and places several controlled pairs into his thoracic cavity and stops the fight. No community mourning for the beautiful women slain by the madman, no network news coverage at 8:00 am for the entire country to see, no parents destroyed by the loss of their only daughter. Just one more scumbag piled up in a heap and no one to remember his name.


If CSU wants a "SAFE ZONE", then arm the entire student population. Let them carry tazers, mace , bowie knives, handguns, brass knuckles. Whatever makes them feel safe and protect themselves. Have an elective class for tactical handgun or self defense training, or give credit for concealed carry training. But instead, they will get to "Feel Good" about the fact that nothing bad will EVER happen to them while on campus. Yea, just tell that to the students at Virginia Tech, Auburn, UNC...  Fortunatly there are a few level heads in the student body fighting back for their rights.  I sure hope they get heard and not ignored by the hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil liberals in charge.


Maybe it would be different if it were a group of gang members looking for a fight, or an islamic jihadist looking for martrdom, or maybe a serial killer stalking his next victim.  I am sure they would stop and not act based on the memo.  It certainly has not stopped criminals from acting out against all of our current feel good laws.  But just maybe if we enact one more law...
