Shannon: Firearms will not be tolerated

***Begin Quote***

CORAL GABLES — Randy Shannon has issued a straightforward warning to his University of Miami football players:

Get caught carrying a firearm and your days as a Hurricane are over.

***End Quote***

Interesting. UofM is a “state skool”. Maybe it’s not as much of one as a State University, but only Hillsdale College isn’t beholding to the gooferment.

As such, this brings up so many many issues Like separation of Government and Education? Like the proper role of “non-profit” in a civil society? Like why don’t they pay “taxes”? Like why not treat every corporation equally? Like why we permit the illusion of student athlete? Like why we allow the “skool” to make grazillions off their efforts and treat them like serfs?

But today’s issue is that wonderful tool … Sam Colt’s equalizer … the gun.

I’d say that Shannon’s statement is just flat out wrong.

What he has done is paint a bullseye on his player. Bad people will know they can’t defend themselves. He’s equated the possession of a tool with a bad intention.

If UofM is a government entity, (and it’s hard to argue that it isn’t), then he is an agent of the gooferment, and he has infringed on these player’s rights.

Regardless if they push back or not, that infringes all our rights.

The fact that the liberal media gets all gushy about this “enlightened” policy just proves how shallow they are.

INTERESTING: Interesting atheist’s quote about the never born

*** begin quote ***

We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.

— Richard Dawkins, excerpt from Chapter I, “The Anaesthetic of Familiarity,” of Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder (1998)

*** end quote ***

We, as a society, may well have abort the soul that would cure cancer, bring us peace, or make us laugh. It’s a sad possibility to consider.
