Utah: Guns on Campus continued

For gun grabbers in Utah, a Supreme Court decision banning the ban on guns is merely a setback.

Recently, the Utah Supreme Court struck down the U of Utah's campus gun ban. But the fight is hardly over. Thanks to pantywaist lawyers, the legal talk rarely touched the obvious consitutional issue, rather it revolved around state law. And predictably the U of U initiates negotiations with lawmakers.

The erosion continues...

From the Salt Lake Tribune:

Utah's colleges and universities are trying a new strategy in the debate over guns on campus: They are meeting with the Legislature's staunchest gun rights advocates in an attempt to reach a compromise.

Although the Utah Supreme Court last fall ruled the University of Utah cannot ban concealed weapons on campus, U. President Michael Young and Senate President John Valentine have formed an informal work group of lawmakers and higher education officials to consider a bill that may allow schools to bar guns from campus dorms, sporting events and other "communal" areas.

There's a lot of R's involved on this "compromise," but hold off on the champagne. Gun rights advocates and conservatives are one in the same around here, so why oh why after we won hands down, do our representatives feel the need to participate in such negotiations?

To stand up for our rights? Don't kid yourself.
