Page 7 is a load of BS. Yup, a university regulation is going to stop a nut job from walking into a university building with the intent to do harm to others.
Yup that'll work just like it did at Virginia Tech...oh, right...
Nova, it will not only not prevent it, you can make a good case it would invite it. I tend to believe that Cho would not have done what he did if he thought there was the possibility of armed confrontation. This is evidenced by the fact he shot himself as soon as he knew the police were in the building.
Yeah I believe the same. Here's a news clip that actually speaks the truth, and also shows that not all cops are against us:

The first university massacre in Virginia didn't turn out too good either. But the Response was to arm, not disarm the people.
Massacre of 1622 and the University of Henrico
"
The University of Henrico was granted a royal Charter in 1618 and was headed by George Thorpe. It was located near the "Citie of Henricus". The city and the university were destroyed in the massacre. "As it was, the town of Henrico was totally annihilated, and George Thorpe, the superintendent of college lands, was killed, and seventeen of the college tenants perished with him. Thus came to an end the proposed college.
The Colonial Dames of America (Chapter I.), deploring the neglect of these facts in Virginia's history, have offered to the Johns Hopkins University a medallion, to be conferred annually upon some graduate or student of the university for the best essay on American history. The medallion contains this inscription: "The University of Henrico, destroyed in the massacre March 22, 1622." In the centre of the medallion is George Thorpe, and behind him stand his tenants, while in front are the Indians rushing upon them." Source: Julian A. Chandler and Travis B. Thames, Colonial Virginia, 106-107, 176-183 (1907)."
