ZERO STUDENTS OPT FOR UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO’S GUN DORM

Colorado has found no takers for its newly-created dorms for students with concealed-carry permits. Though both its Boulder and Colorado Springs campuses began offering segregated dorms for those students who wish to keep their concealed weapons in their dorms in August, a university spokesman told the Denver Post “so far, no one has moved.” Guns are prohibited in all other campus dormitories. The creation of the dorms followed a March ruling by the state’s supreme court that the school could not outright ban concealed weapons on campus.

• America's gun nuts are a tiny minority.

• Yes. We need weapons lying around in settings where large amounts of alcohol are consumed on a regular basis.

• I wonder if only one student wanted to have a weapon in his/her dorm room, would they go out of their way to accommodate that one student? I can see the gun nuts making a case of it if the University didn't.

• Maybe they shouldn't have named it Columbine Hall.

• That's because they're a bunch of liberal fags! Learnin's for fags!

• Of course crazy and stupid gun nuts don't trust other crazy and stupid gun nuts to handle their weapons responsibly! They're not that stupid.

• Setting aside the question of what a true gun nut would be doing at a university in the first place--let alone a PUBLIC university--I would think, first of all, that a Second Amendment absolutist would be indignant at the idea of being segregated and would insist that ALL buildings on campus allow open-carry. Also, a true gun nut would never agree to live in the designated gun dorm, as that would make them an easy target when the government came to take away everybody's guns.

• [quote]America's gun nuts are a tiny minority. O'rly. That's why the NRA is the most powerful lobbyist in America.

• Who says they are the most powerful lobbyist? See what I mean? That's what I'm sayin'.

• Their power comes from the implied threat of violence against those they disagree with, not from numbers or money.
