How do tickets work? Do high school students get cheaper tickets then adults?

Yep, it makes a lot of sense.

Oh it is going to be SWEET! I will be at the Hockey game and possibly the football game. Go Fighting Sioux!

But you are missing the fact that the government still knows who could have guns. That is bad. It is not the government's business.

It is irrelevant how secure the facility is. If you go down that road, should only people with deadbolts on their doors be able to have guns? Should only people with no first floor windows big enough to crawl through be allowed to have gun? It is irrelevant and should not determine if I can have a gun or not.

Ted pretty much has it right on. Nice find, and thanks.

I already addressed the guns in dorms vs. apartments. I am not saying there would be no crime if everyone had guns. I am saying I have the right to carry and use a gun. And I have pointed out that if they are going to commit a crime, not being able to have a gun on campus (or just in dorms) is not going to affect them. Gun owners should not have to register guns. That would allow the government to track another aspect of our lives. We are more and more turning into a big brother society. That is very bad. Your last point (bold) is right on the money.

Amen!!

Do you consider fishing a sport? They can not "fish" back. Edit: I also think he was referring to target shooting as "sport shooting".

Why apartments but not dorms? If I am living in a dorm and get attacked, I want to be able to defend myself. Why should I be unfairly handicapped in defending myself? I have just as much right as the next guy to defend myself, whether I live in a dorm or an apartment.

Nice job on the win Sioux! I didn't get to listen to the game, but it sounds like it was a tight one. But we got the W and thats what counts! P.S. Notre Dame also won tonight at UCLA! It was a great day!

This is beside the point, but that is a pretty impressive wreck!

Nope, thats why it is a rivalry!!! GO Fighting Sioux!!! I so want the game to be played again. But realistically, I think it would be a good game. It is a rivalry game, so that right there would even it up. And the Sioux are also a very good team. But the Bison may have a bit more depth. I would guess it would depend on how well the Sioux defense would play. If the defense is great, the Sioux's offense may be just to good and fast for the Bison. In all honesty though, I do not really know who would win.

It is also ridiculous to think that law abiding citizens should not be allowed to keep their guns. It is a constitutional right. It is crazy to even think that it would be a good idea to ban guns on campus. I have gone into extensive detail in previous posts on this issue.

How do you know that will always be the case??? UND and MSU are both schools under the NDUS.

No, student housing is no longer a choice at Minot State; you must live on campus unless you are living in the Minot area with family. (I forget if this was proposed or is already enacted) What if UND also does the same thing???

All the while we are going at it over guns and knives on the campus of UND, we are forgetting what they are really needed for. Gun are essential if the government ever needs to be brought down. If citizens are no longer able to use guns, then they are at the mercy of their government. That is exactly what the Founding Fathers did not want to happen; a tyrant of a government that the people had no defense against it.

I have already pointed out that the campus IS home for many students. A gun is a tool. If we ban guns, should ban nail-guns? Sledge hammers? After all, someone could get killed using those tools. We are forgetting that knives were also included in this thing. What if someone who likes to cook has a whole bunch of monster knives? Are they allowed? I have seen kitchen knives that would do more damage then hunting knives. A gun is a tool just like a knife, hammer, and hockey stick, among other things.

Well, considering we live a little ways out in the country, it would likely take them a little while to get there. And I am sure we would call them, should we have trouble. But they may not arrive in time. For many students, the campus is their home. And if guns are alright sometimes, who decides when and where they are not? It is a slippery slop we do not and should not need to go down.

YES! It would still be dumb and unconstitutional! VT had a gun ban and look what happened. It sure didn't save lives there. I would rather have 13,000 guns on campus. Just about everyone on campus is a law abiding citizen. It is not like as soon as a person gets their hands on a gun, they go out and shoot someone. And that way, as soon as the killer shoots one person, someone will shoot him and there will not be nearly as many innocent deaths. There was a guy lose out by Drake that was wanted for murder, among other things, recently. That is not to far from where I live and we had the gun out and ready to go. Had that guy tried to do anything on our property, he would have been shot. I shudder to think what would have happened had that guy broke in our house and we did not have a gun.

It is ridiculous that this is even an issue! Citizens of the United States are free to own and use guns. It is constitutionally guaranteed. Period. That should be the end of the debate. But since some people can not seem to understand that, I will continue. People kill people, not guns or drugs or cars or anything else you can think of. If someone dies because they took drugs, that is their own fault. I will never die from it because I will not abuse drugs. It is about personal responsibility and freedom. Look at how much stuff is smuggled illegally every year. If guns were banned nationwide, criminals would still get their hands on them. I know if I am instructed to stay in a dorm because a killer is lose on campus, I would much rather have a shotgun out and ready to go then sit there with nothing between me and the killer but a locked door. Also, I am a law abiding person, as is most everyone. Just because some idiot uses a gun improperly, should not mean that I can no longer use one.

Here is what I posted on the GFH article.
