The U of U school newspaper is running a poll about guns on campus. It's on the left side of the page.

Friday (9-8-06) the State Supreme Court has decide the U doesn't have the power to ban gun on campus. The University is still breaking the law and needs to follow it. The U has threatened to expell any student found carrying.

This has been posted on several other pro-2A websites, help us blow it up!

Interesting poll. Looks as if our side is winning handily - - Well over 80% either will carry or are not bothered by the concept.

I wish they showed a running total of the number of votes cast.

Best,
Johnny

nice that they include a link under "contacts"

re: Guns on campus.

First off, how about framing the question in an intellectually honest manner?

The prospect of a gun in the hands of a criminal, on-campus or off, is an entirely different proposition from that of a law-abiding citizen in legal possession of, and responsibly carrying in accordance with the law.

Secondly, how one "feels" about this law, or any other, is a side issue. Individual people can rationalize nearly anything.

The more relevant question, perhaps, is:

Should the University of Utah follow the law?

I have a favorite phrase,, Holy Balls...
Here is the first poll question and the choices:
How do you feel about guns on campus?
They don't present a threat to me.
I plan to carry one myself.
I'm threatened by their presence.
I could care less.
Submit Vote
Holy Balls...
Here are the "Other Questions", In order.
How do you feel about guns on campus?
How long do you anticipate taking (from start to finish) to get your undergraduate degree?
What are you least looking forward to about going back to school?
When did you start drinking?
What do you think about flag burning?
What's your preferred form of exercise?

The only question that doesn't bother me is the one about flag burning, It is an American university,,,, Right....???

Did you see the disclaimer? (Fine print)

Their poll is just for "funsies".

You can bet if the poll went in their favor...
They would sing a different tune...

and a lot "louder".

Salt Lake City and the U of U is the hotbed of liberalism in Utah...
The rest of the state... doesn't understand them...
