A few days after the Utah Supreme Court ruled that the University of Utah's ban on concealed weapons was unconstitutional, a gunman killed one and wounded 19 students at Montreal's Dawson College.
Why are the "progressive," "educated" elitists at the University of Utah so scared of law-abiding, responsible citizens carrying a concealed weapon on campus? How many more stories must we read of students being gunned down on their campuses because they have no means of self-defense?
Columbine, Dawson College, Pearl High School, Moses Lake, Jonesboro - how long before it's Hillcrest High School, Granite Elementary or Salt Lake Community College?
Perhaps the massacre at Dawson College is a sad reminder to U. President Michael Young that the reputation of college campuses for being dangerous is well-deserved.
