Welcome to The Senate Site

Senators held their nose and voted to approve a new university gun policy. The bill passed 17 to 12.

[Update:] You can listen to the floor debate here.

Great, thanks. Now we have to wait for another Court decision. Don't we have amendments to keep government's hands off our guns, or are they just symbolic gestures???

Have a look at David Hardy's Second Amendment Documentary, or do it the hard way and actually research on the right to arms yourself, before you decide on "rational gun laws."

Hope you guys think there are a lot of off-duty cops around campuses. Cause now students will have to face expulsion should they fall off the arbitrary high wires.

It is a shame that we have young men all around the world giving their lives to protect our freedoms and rights, yet we in the states do not value those rights. For the fear of losing a few dollars we will relent to any group wanting to abridge our rights.

What ever your reasons where for voting against this bad bill, Thank you Senators:

Christensen
Greiner
Madsen
Stephenson
Dayton
Hickman
Mayne
Stowell
Dmitrich
Jenkins
Peterson
Waddoups

I hope the House votes this down.

There is no reason to make more restrictions for legal CCW holders. I can't believe the time and money wasted on proposing this bill.

I also don't think faculty offices which post the signs will make an effort to provide secure storage. Even if they did, I would rather not visit those offices than to show the whole world that I carry a gun by turning it in while visiting an anti-second amendment office.
