found this on another site....

South Puget Sound Community College, is seeking to reverse its long time policy of allowing firearms on their campus, they have put out a survey for any resident of Washington state, to decide on their new policy.


The vote is anonymous and requires nothing besides clicking one option and submit.




I could go on and on about how stupid and ineffective this policy would be, but everyone here already knows that.


Please take the split second it would take to vote, who knows it might prevent the next Virginia Tech incident.

I voted for none of the options, they weren't worth my support. I commented on how, as an educational institution (funded in part by gov't), prohibit a citizen's right to express their constitutional rights?

Colleges are all about the 1st amendment, but start going to another one it's like "Whoa! No, sir, that is NOT permitted in this institution! Good day!"

We need to work on getting recognition and protection under equal protection laws. Could it be considered a "hate crime" if I were assaulted because of my stance on the second amendment?
