Those staunch defenders of the rights of
the minority, the—Idaho Legislature? Wait, what’s wrong with this phrase?
The bill to force colleges and universities
to allow students to carry guns on campus is once again under consideration. It
passed the Idaho Senate and is now moving to the House, where it is expected to
pass.
Very few non-legislators want this bill to
be passed. Campus leaders and law-enforcement officials agree that it is a
foolhardy proposition, and unlikely to make anyone safer. A BSU professor who
was actually at Virginia Tech at the time of the mass shooting also says that
there are much better ways to make a campus safer, and he detailed them.
So whose interests are the legislators
defending? Not the majority’s, for sure.
Can we now hope that these
minority-defending legislators will finally pass a gay-rights bill?
