Obama's Three Sons

[Lambda Force]

Obama said if he had a son he would look like Trayvon. I did some "soul searching" and keep coming up with the same question. If Obama had three sons, would they look like the guys in the Crown Victoria? http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/ ... 3N20120325" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The dead student must be imaginary, no guns are allowed at Mississippi State University, so I think the story is make-believe.

Guns on campus?

A new state law that allows for certain civilians to carry concealed weapons does not carry over to the Mississippi State University campus.

This doesn't count because it doesn't fit the Racist in Chief's agenda.

This is what I "get" from the occurrence, rather than an Obama thingy ...
It is interesting that shooting deaths occur more often in that State where campus carry is "legal" at the campus which has the gun-free "policy" than the others whose policy is that it's ok for law abiding licensees to carry in accordance with the law.
This is the same as Virginia Tech, where it was "legal" but school "Policy" forbids self defense.

Virginia Tech - 2006 (prior to the 2007 massacre)
Please realize that I am licensed to carry a concealed handgun in the commonwealth of Virginia, and do so on a regular basis. However, because I am a Virginia Tech student, I am prohibited from carrying at school because of Virginia Tech's student policy, which makes possession of a handgun an expellable offense, but not a prosecutable crime.

Of all of the emotions and thoughts that were running through my head that morning, the most overwhelming one was of helplessness.

That feeling of helplessness has been difficult to reconcile because I knew I would have been safer with a proper means to defend myself.

I would also like to point out that when I mentioned to a professor that I would feel safer with my gun, this is what she said to me, "I would feel safer if you had your gun."

The policy that forbids students who are legally licensed to carry in Virginia needs to be changed.

I am qualified and capable of carrying a concealed handgun and urge you to work with me to allow my most basic right of self-defense, and eliminate my entrusting my safety and the safety of my classmates to the government.

This incident makes it clear that it is time that Virginia Tech and the commonwealth of Virginia let me take responsibility for my safety.

Thomas Bourgeois, Mississippi State University dean of students, said it is the school's job to abide by the law while keeping students safe.

"We respect our legislature," Bourgeois said. "Our job is to enforce the laws and make sure we're not infringing on people's rights and maintaining safety."

Although it is now legal to have concealed weapons on a university campus, Bourgeois said the law will not affect campus policy.

"It's no longer a criminal offense, but our student code of conduct still prohibits students from carrying a weapon," Bourgeois said. "If you're caught in violation of that, the penalty can range from probation to suspension."

Other colleges in the state are handling the law differently.

Scott Wallace, the assistant dean of students at the University of Mississippi, said Ole Miss has altered its weapons policy in conjunction with the new law.

"The previous policy said ‘The University of Mississippi prohibits the possession of weapons on campus and at any University-sponsored events,'" Wallace said. "We updated it this summer after the law was passed."

The revised policy at Ole Miss reads, "The University of Mississippi prohibits the possession of weapons on campus and at any University-sponsored events unless such possession is authorized by law."

Unlike MSU, the additional "unless such possession is authorized by law" portion allows for permit carriers to have weapons on campus not only legally but also authorized by university policy.
