Utah Seeks Support For Gun Control

The Salt Lake Tribune reports:

Utah's colleges and universities are trying a new strategy in the debate over guns on campus: They are meeting with the Legislature's staunchest gun rights advocates in an attempt to reach a compromise.
Although the Utah Supreme Court last fall ruled the University of Utah cannot ban concealed weapons on campus, U. President Michael Young and Senate President John Valentine have formed an informal work group of lawmakers and higher education officials to consider a bill that may allow schools to bar guns from campus dorms, sporting events and other "communal" areas.
Individual institutions simply want what they had until 2004 - the ability to make their own policies concerning guns, Dave Buhler, Utah System of Higher Education associate commissioner, half-jokingly told the group Tuesday. Most universities had policies banning guns before a 2004 law allowed concealed weapons permit holders to carry guns on campuses and in other previously protected areas. The U. sued and lost in the Supreme Court last fall, but still may pursue federal remedies.

We figured that the socialists who control most universities don't like guns.Guns are a threat to socialism.
