Wow,
Talk about knee jerk reaction. Is this the new Obama America? People think his rights were violated? That it is fascist?
Lets see... Communication 140, 100 series usually denotes a freshmen or at least lower level class so he "could" be fresh out of high school. His belief is that turning the Va. Tech campus into a gunfight at the OK corral would have ended the shooting earlier, not safer?... but earlier... oh, okay... no quotes from his speech. What was the speech like? What did he say? How serious was he about this farce?
The police did not arrest him but asked him to come down... then legally went thru a list of his registered guns and asked about the were abouts of them. What is illegal about that?
Bottom line, I think the speech and oral presentation should be heard before you "fire the professor" or get all over her. She already passed here college exams and has a career, along with at least some experience. Something he said in that speech caused her to inform the police. They handled it correctly.
I would be wary of anyone who seriously believes arming college students with weapons is a good idea. I would have called the police too. And by the way I am a republican, I hate guns and while in college I was shot at by two drunk National Guardsmen, on campus. Who I disarmed (with no gun) as the police drove up. Any idiot can pull a trigger, it takes no talent. Hitting something -you mean to- does. No way would more guns have helped the situation. You have to be a moron to think that.
