Where did I hear that before?

I was at the Homeland Defense committee hearing yesterday. As I was listening to the testimony against House Bill 750, I realized that many of their arguments sounded familiar. Not just repeating the other 750 opponents, although there was a lot of that, but using variations on the same tired arguments the opponents of civil rights have been using for many years. So I'm proposing a game.

The rules of the game are simple. Give one of the arguments against Campus Carry and then say what it reminds you of.

Local control. Public-funded schools should be able to opt out if they disagree.

Where have we seen this before?
