The ignorant citizens in Virginia just can't seem to comprehend, after so many innocent lives have been lost.
Banning guns from college campuses will only keep <span style="font-style: italic">LAW ABIDING PEOPLE</span> from carrying a gun on campus...which will ultimately VICTIMIZE those people when someone goes wayward of the law and begins shooting. Why is this so hard to understand?
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">A poll of more than 1,000 registered voters found Virginians divided on whether uranium mining should be allowed in the state, while an overwhelming majority supports a ban of guns on college campuses.
On the issue of gun rights, a small majority — 50-45 percent — said protecting gun rights is more important than controlling gun ownership, but they opposed by a nearly 2-1 ratio ending the state's limit of one handgun purchase per month.
On the issue of guns on college campuses, 75-20 percent said they should not be allowed.
The issue is particularly relevant because of the mass shooting at Virginia Tech in 2007, in which 32 people were killed by a lone gunman who then killed himself. The polling was also conducted in the aftermath of a Dec. 8 incident on the Blacksburg campus in which a Virginia Tech police officer was killed before the gunman turned the weapon on himself.
The Virginia Tech campus has become a battleground for gun-rights and gun-control advocates. They disagree whether a student or professor who was armed during the 2007 killings could have reduced the number of deaths.
In a recent opinion, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has said that to ban legal concealed carry weapons on a campus, a university's board must pass a regulation specifically stating that. A policy is not sufficient, he said.
The Quinnipiac poll found that 49 percent of Virginians polled say someone in their household owns a gun. The view on banning guns on campus, however, is shared across party lines, education levels and other demographics.
Even those with carry permits should not be allowed to bring their weapon on campus, voters said 65-32 percent.</div></div>
