1. If only Charlie Kirk had had a gun yesterday, he'd still be alive, right?

"Good guy with a gun"?

Well, at least no one has to listen to any more of his idiocy.

[BOSSHOG]

7. I prefer a well regulated militia ....

Something fake patriots do not have tattooed on their arm. A good guy with a gun is irrelevant except to those who insist on killing in the name of “their” constitution relative to the bug du jour they have stuck up their butt on any given given day for killing.

15. You're exactly right, of course.

Righties made the same crack about Vince Foster back in the 90s, and even after Sandy Hook et al. I was making it a parody about their nonsense. Maybe I should've used the sarcasm smilie?

17. I gotcha fine and dandy My Friend

There is static when conversing with a tone deaf agenda regardless of logic

[Johonny]

20. I believe he had armed security

It's just that there's not much they could do about it.

2. Looks like someone took advantage of one of their short sited decisions.

3. Unbelievable

4. While looking up info on this, I came across an item that struck me as odd

Students at the University of Utah are also permitted under the law to have a firearm inside their vehicle and dorm room. Students who do not wish to room with another student who has a firearm are required to request a room change, per the university's guidelines.

It seems that, for Utah college students, there is greater freedom for gun owners than there is for students who do not want to live with a gun owner!

5. "Yes, open carry is legal on Utah college campuses: Breaking down Utah gun law after Charlie Kirk shooting"

It is legal to openly carry a gun on Utah’s public university and college campuses with very few exceptions.

In fact, Clark Aposhian, a national firearm lobbyist and the chair of the Utah Shooting Sports Council, said the state is possibly the most permissive in the country when it comes to guns and what few laws restrict them, including in higher education spaces.

18. Nothing says a well regulated militia

Then open carry. But I’ve yet to see a fake patriotista adorn his body with such constitutional nonsense in the form of a tattoo.

6. Obviously, Utah Valley University is not a place of higher learning.

[BattleRow]

8. They are learning the higher cost of

lowered gun restrictions.

9. Where did you get this information?

Utah has allowed guns on college campuses since 2004. They're the only state to do so.

[totodeinhere]

13. Do you think that the assassin would not have acted if guns were not allowed on campus?

That is very illogical.

[ChicagoTeamster]

14. I'm referring to the two weeks timeline.

Utah has allowed "college carry" since 2004 although Universities fought against it. Supposedly a rifle has been found in the woodline 200 yards away so weapons on campus now have no bearing on the shooting.

[W_HAMILTON]

16. LOL, 200 yards away on a college campus is, uh, still the college campus.

Furthermore, the now THIRD person of interest is reported to have used a campus stairwell to get on the roof of a campus building where he fired his rifle, so he was on the campus -- assuming you can trust Patel's FBI this third time...

10. Kirk has superseded remembrance of September 11..

[kimbutgar]

11. Utah another state I will never set foot in for my safety.

[Mr. Sparkle]

12. oh, the irony
