I don't really like that this quote makes it sound like any student can bring a gun to campus and it's OK, because it's not. (At least at the schools I went to... although I doubt that is much different at other schools??)

By us as well. With bi-weekly room checks and random bag searches...getting stuff in would be possible but not that easy.

At some point the media needed to leave and I am glad that various students and alumni are letting them know this.

Anyways, I know someone made a remark earlier about me being a student, but I am actually a pretty recent alum who feels like it was just yesterday that I was in those classrooms. Not too mention I am up there at least 10 times a year. More when my boyfriend was still there finishing up his degree.

Anyways I also saw that that crazy WBC (?) group isn't planning on picketting now if they get airtime on some show to speak about the event and their religion. Not sure if it will happen though, the airtime I mean.

The airtime thing has been done before for them. I'm willing to bet any media outlet will gladly give them some time to spew their shit. There's actually a great video on youtube where the interview starts out civilly between the anchor and Shirley Phelps? and by the end, the anchor is just screaming at Shirley. Pretty much what we all want to do. I'll see if I can dig up some photoshops for you, we had a thread on another forum where they photoshopped over the signs and made it completely hilarious. I'll post them in another thread of course.
