  It's not about the cops.

  They do whatever it is they do. The issue is why on God's Grey Earth do colleges toss out students for carrying a beer, or aggressive eyerolling or inappropriate multicultural sensitivities or putting a dumb picture on Facebook and force everyone to go to daterape training and this week's genocidal cause/picnic and yet, and yet they have no particular comment either way about a backpack full of guns and ammo? Apparently you risk a higher probability of expulsion for calling someone a nigger bitch than you do shooting at someone? Why is that? Sure I understand the whole western VA rural redneck ethos were people grew up with beer, blasting cord and squirrel guns but let's at least give lip service to equity and reality, shall we?

  Unless you are on the rifle team guns have no place on or near any college facility, ever. Period. End of story, full stop. Let's apply the same bike helmet wearing micromanagement CYA bullshit policies as ZOMG! Alcohol, drugs, to firearms. You are found with a firearm in your possession you are expelled immediately, period. If you have a problem with that take it up with the ACLU and/or your Congressperson.

  Then when that's done, then you can complain that the cops didn't handle the worst mass murder in American history, with the proper alacrity. But until then, until we stop giving guns the universal pass then this is what you will get. And trust me, it will only get worse.
