MN Republican takes advantage of VA Tech tragedy to push for guns on campus...poll added

This is my first diary, but I'm so mad that I just had to write.

While MN is known as a liberal state, we still have our share of right-wing crazies...more than enough for my taste. One of them is Republican state representative Tony Cornish who is so obsessed by guns that he recently authored a bill legalizing using a gun to defend your home and property, something that is already legal. I guess he just wanted to fulfill his campaign promises to the NRA or something.

His latest stunt takes the cake, in that he uses the victims of the VA Tech tragedy to push his own gun agenda by forcing campuses to allow students to carry concealed weapons.

More below the fold...

Poll

Do you think that college students should be allowed to carry concealed handguns on campus?
