Yet another sad commentary on the ineffectiveness of 'weapons free zones.' This just happened this morning.

How could she stab someone if weapons are not allowed?

Can we say ''kitchen knife"?

As we well know so many things are potential 'weapons'' - but usually it is the gun that is so heavily villified.

I am curious here as to how the perp managed to take her own life. I haven't read the whole report as yet.

It was probably only a "gun free" zone, not a "knife free" zone. They didn't think about that I'm sure when they were trying to make everyone "feel" safe instead of actually doing something to make things safe.

The posted signs are 'Weapons Free Zone." I haven't gotten a real close look but there are pictures of three things in red circles. I know one is a revolver; I'm not sure what the other two are. Unfortunately I cannot post a picture but I will get a close look tomorrow and post the verbiage.

I looked at the campus for concealed carry website and there was not an Arizona chapter. I remember a previous poster said he was going to the U of A. The students need to stand up.

The above story I posted is completely wrong. The local news just reported that Mia Henderson was the victim who was murdered. The assailant did not kill herself but she was wounded and is under arrest for first degree murder.

The university president provided the usual idiocy that he wants to have a crime free campus but sometimes these tragedies happen.

obviously, they did not remove her arms and lobotomize her after she paid her tuition...

I know of many gated communities that are 100% weapon-free (prisons) and yet have many, many stabbings.

There is only one gun law in this country, the 2nd Amendment. All else is bureaucratic nonsense that I choose to comply with or not at my discretion.

When governments make laws, they must consider the unintended consequences.

The comment that "sometimes tragedies happen" is typical of the sheep mentality.

If you acknowledge that you could have done something about it, it requires that you take responsibility.

The concept that THEY are responsible for their own safety scares the hell out of the sheep.

Unfortunately, there is a lot of "grazing" going on at the top levels of education.

Sorry, just counting sheep. How many people are on that campus?
