Under Hampton's student code of conduct, your second item says: "To respect the dignity, feelings, worth, and values of others. Each member of the Hampton Family will respect one another and visitors as if they were guests in one's home. Therefore...to possess weapons such as knives or firearms...is strictly prohibited and is in direct violation of the Hampton University Code, on or off campus." Do you believe mandating a human being be defenseless respects his dignity, feelings and worth?
If he or she believes otherwise, do you believe such a mandate respects their values?
What's with "off campus"? Are you saying student gun owners will be expelled?
And how effective do you think this code was in ensuring these and future victims would be at a disadvantage to their assailant? [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner shows that "gun free zones" can be very effective--at giving attackers the advantage.
