Editor:
Once again I see that the powers that be are showing that their degrees far exceed their intelligence.
Our distinguished University of Utah President Bernie Machen is a prime example.
He can be told that the U’s policy towards firearms is in violation of the law.
He then will then say “Oh no it’s not.” He is willing to go to court over the issue.
Well, I hope it is not on the taxpayers’ dime.
You are going to lose this court case Bernie, and it does not take an advanced degree to figure that one out!
The powers that be think they have a competent campus police and security force. So there is no need to have firearms on campus.
Well, approximately 20 years ago, a young member of the U’s security staff was none other than serial killer Ted Bundy.
I don’t know about you, but my feeling of security just went right out the window!
Boy, I feel safe!
Bernie, please? just follow the law.
Please save the U the money and allow the law-abiding students who conceal and carry firearm permits to exercise their Second Amendment rights.
You cannot guarantee the safety of the students when you disarm those who have the ability to protect themselves.
Otherwise, the university is liable.
