Prior to 2017, campus police have recorded a total of 14 weapons violations since 2008, according to the statistics

" KU Public Safety attributes the drop in crime to steps the university took to improve campus security after the legalization of concealed carry. Three additional police officers and three security officers were hired.
The crime report does not include an incident in which a loaded .38 revolver found unattended in the bathroom of Wescoe Hall last September. That was a university gun policy violation but not criminal, said Capt. James Anguiano, spokesman for KU Public Safety.
It also does not include sexual assault reports made only to university administration and not investigated by campus police.
Kansas State University, where concealed guns are also allowed, does not keep similar crime stats, officials there said."

editing reports to suit a point , no violations ..but there was. and it seems a drop in crime might be attributed to having more police and security.. plus making carrying a gun NOT a violation

Well, he probably doesn't NEED it, but he probably likes it. :D So, please tell me why he SHOULDN'T buy it? :shock:
Correct.

'Need' and 'why' has nothing to do with a citizen's choice to exercise their right. It is true in all cases. Individual rights are conditional only in the citizen's choice to exercise them.

And I like Cadbury's chocolate and BK's 'Double Angus' offerings... loads of them. I also like to drive really, really fast.

But I know loads of chocolate, fast-food and speeding isn't healthy, so I don't.

But then again, maybe AR-15's are not considered a health risk.

You never did answer why you needed a gun when I asked earlier.

No biggie, you are solidly in the 'because I can' camp and not 'because I need one' camp... like the majority of card-carrying NLA members... especially the lifers.

Just thinking what an oxymoron that is, a 'life member' of a machine gun club.

How about, "Individual rights are conditional only in the citizen's choice NOT to exercise them."?

Tamada,

I have admitted that I don't 'NEED a gun, but you still haven't told me why I SHOULDN'T have one if I want.

I hope that you are not implying that because someone likes guns he is likely to want to shoot someone?

If NEED becomes a criteria for possession of something then it would be a poor world, and not everyone's definition of NEED is the same. (eg. he Taliban don't see the NEED for women to go to school, so they ban it).

I don't see the NEED for anyone to have a horse - but I don't try to ban horses.

On average 300 people in the UK die each year in water sport accidents - should we ban swimming/canoeing/sailing because people don't NEED to engage in those activities?

There are always plenty of people ready to ban what they don't understand, and plenty ready to define what other people NEED.
Strangely, most of those people I have met who wish to ban guns are also against the death penalty! :D

You will find a lot of People in the UK want the Death Penalty re-instated for child murders, police killers. and random acts of Murder. I am a firm believer in the Death Penalty and would willingly be the one releasing the trap door and sending a child killer to hell. I get the handgun excuse for protection but it was your Countermen that has forced you to live this way. So why do you have to purchase Weapons that should only be allowed for Military use. Its a simple question requiring a simple Answer.

That was simple

This really is like trying to convince the South Africans that Apartheid was wrong ...... The world knows it's wrong. they know themselves it's wrong but some sheer bloody minded stupidity stops them from admitting it [-X

I want to join the Military at 18 years old, and be Trained to use an AR-15. I want to be a Cop, so I can carry an AR-15, and take away AR-15's from legal gun owners.
Just made a new joke, goes like this "A man came to my house and asked me "Why do you got so many scary looking knives around your house"? Told him "Because I am against guns".
Want to protect your house from intruders? Set traps around, and when you catch one, superglue his hands behind his back, then superglue his eyes shut and give him a boot out the door. (keep that cctv tape, just in case) Wink, Wink

Tamada,

I have admitted that I don't 'NEED a gun, but you still haven't told me why I SHOULDN'T have one if I want.

Hey Bonanza,

I still can't get my head around people wanting something that they don't really need. Maybe that's why most double-car garages attached to most family homes in the US are full and the cars stay out on the driveway, because the garage is full of stuff that they bought but didn't really need?

Anyway, if you want one, you can have one and I am not about taking that away. It's those that have them just because the ink stains that have dried upon some line says they can... but they don't hunt, don't shoot varmints and don't live in the 'hood....or near a school.
I hope that you are not implying that because someone likes guns he is likely to want to shoot someone?
Actually, that thought had never, ever crossed my mind. It is funny that you brought it up though. But I can see your reasoning there; I mean if you have one, and a situation develops, why not use it? It would be silly to fork out 500 bucks on a Glock and get a concealed carry and then be too ---- scared to use it when things went pear-shaped. Might as well leave it in the garage with the other junk.
If NEED becomes a criteria for possession of something then it would be a poor world, and not everyone's definition of NEED is the same. (eg. he Taliban don't see the NEED for women to go to school, so they ban it).
The point of reference always has to be something extreme and far away and EASY like the Taliban... despite there not being much evidence of them massing on the US mainland yet. Why don't we try for some parallels (a lot) nearer home like Canada and Mexico? I mean what do they ban that Americans don't? Not a trick question; just a case of know your neighbors, no?
I don't see the NEED for anyone to have a horse - but I don't try to ban horses.
That's a variation on the old NLA chestnut that cars kill people, ban cars 'argument'. 3 out of 10, must try harder.
On average 300 people in the UK die each year in water sport accidents - should we ban swimming/canoeing/sailing because people don't NEED to engage in those activities?
Steady on there, you are denigrating the nation that has the single greatest navy and marine history EVER. Just because some have accidents or can't swim well is no need to be serving it up as (yet another) deflection.

Yes, your navy is bigger and better than any in the known universe right now but I am talking about HISTORY and one-time global hegemony. Right now, you chaps are still in high school... and that's a very dangerous place to be!
There are always plenty of people ready to ban what they don't understand, and plenty ready to define what other people NEED.
But it's not about banning all responsible gun ownership is it? It's about making sure that mil-spec weaponry isn't available to anyone who aint in the armed forces, national guard, police or militia, be they reasonable sorts like yourself and Lonely Star or raving loonies like the kids with knives in London running around stabbing hundreds of innocent people every day. Beat you to that one!
Strangely, most of those people I have met who wish to ban guns are also against the death penalty! :D

Apartheid deprived citizens of rights based on race and used government to preserve those injustices. Apartheid was government tyranny, and it is exactly that kind of government oppression that the 2nd Amendment was designed to thwart. The 2nd Amendment is a safeguard against the tyranny imposed by a tyrannical government upon its citizens -- tyranny in the form of programs and policies exactly like Apartheid.

These so-called normal and moral people view correctly that Apartheid was wrong, and I agree with them. That policy of racist and systemic discrimination preserved by law by the government and used to persecute citizens and deny them their human and civil rights is why Americans wish to preserve the 2nd Amendment. Yet, these normal and moral people would seek to disarm the law-abiding American citizen and subject them to the threat of similar government tyranny or worse.

One so-called normal and moral person recently criticized the Florida Senate for voting to allow school districts to arm teachers. So the government that he trusts enough to treat people well after being disarmed, is the same government that he criticized for doing what he thought was a wrong-headed move by allowing school systems the freedom to do what's best for their communities and schools.

Another normal and moral person claims that the US is one of six countries carrying out 95% of the world's executions, and he wants to disarm the lawful American Citizen. If so many executions are being carried out, then either the lawless criminals are a threat to lawful citizens, or the government that executed them is the threat. In both cases, the 2nd Amendment protects law-abiding citizens if they so choose to exercise their right to bear arms.

The normal and moral folks can't have it both ways. Can't praise the end of Apartheid and want to weaken a society against government tyranny. Trust government to protect its citizens and then criticize them for taking an action that is thought to be incorrect. Can't call for the disarming of law-abiding Americans at the same time that stats show large numbers of executions of violent criminals by the government.

I choose not to follow these self-proclaimed normal and moral people. The facts that they use to make their arguments against gun ownership, actually point out how little government can be trusted, which is the whole point of the 2nd Amendment. These normal and moral folks will get us all killed.

Despite the unfortunate choice of meme, that was a very well stated argument for the very unique protections of the US's 2nd Amendment.

Thanks for that.

Meanwhile, here's another target that needs hardening.

"Apartheid deprived citizens of rights based on race and used government to preserve those injustices. Apartheid was government tyranny, and it is exactly that kind of government oppression that the 2nd Amendment was designed to thwart. The 2nd Amendment is a safeguard against the tyranny imposed by a tyrannical government upon its citizens -- tyranny in the form of programs and policies exactly like Apartheid. "

On 28 August 1963, more than 200,000 demonstrators took part in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in the nation’s capital. The march was successful in pressuring the administration of John F. Kennedy to initiate a strong federal civil rights bill in Congress. During this event, Martin Luther individual delivered his memorable ‘‘I Have a Dream’’ speech.
are you saying they should have all took guns with them ?

don't get it ,oranges and apples as they say. are you saying Apartheid was ended because of the American 2nd amendment ? or are you saying black americans need to arm themselves against white people that might oppress them ?
tyrannical government ? :lol: get your head out the 17th century will you. the last time America had anything like a tyrannical government it started a war in Vietnam and conscripted young americans and sent them off to die, can't remember reading anything about everyone grabbing a gun and fighting the tyranny ...I do remember people peacefully exercising their right to demonstrate .

so fighting tyranny . ? kim jung ping pong is doing right by fighting American tyranny then ? Iran has the right too ...just in case America wants to invade and kill them.
democracy if the weapon of choice to fight tyranny. people power, not gun power. even terrorists work that one out eventually . but sorry it still comes down to people wanting to shoot other people because it gives them a hard on, nothing to do with protection or tyranny, more base human instinct to kill. the same instinct the drives hunters to kill for sport . and face it all these school shootings ,what do you think is going through their heads...score...how many can they kill quickly
