Liberty University is seeking a permit to build an on-campus shooting range, less than a year after the school’s board of trustees also approved a policy that allows students to carry concealed weapons in dorms. According to the proposal, the shooting range would be the first National Rifle Association-approved facility on a U.S. campus.
A proposal filed earlier this week for a special use permit from the Campbell County Planning Commission states that Liberty wants to construct a “nationally recognized, full-scale shooting, training and competition center” on its Lynchburg, Va., campus. The outdoor space will include a pistol range, a rifle range, an instructional area, and a 3-gun competition range, with future plans for an indoor firing range.
“The project was introduced to the NRA during [Executive Vice President] Wayne LaPierre’s visit to campus last spring,” Len Stevens, spokesperson for the university, told Yahoo News. “They have generously offered their expertise to help us develop it.
I'll bet they did. In fact I bet they were falling all over themselves to help set up a gun range on campus.
You may remember that it was just last year that University President Jerry Falwell Jr. was encouraging his students to conceal carry on campus, so it stands to reason that he would like his students to get a little practice in before they get stressed out and mow down a bunch of their peers.
You know I think I am going to have to go back and read that Bible again, because I totally missed the part where it said "Thou shall lock and load, and return fire until the infidel twitcheth at your feet."
Do you think that might be in Deuteronomy?
Yep, Jeebus would really be proud of these numbskulls.
ReplyDeleteWonder what the penalty is for blasting a bible with an AR=25? Wouldn't that be Freedom of Speech?
ReplyDeleteGryphen, as a well educated atheist you should know that the Bible is full of incitements to violence. Supposedly, the New Testament is more peaceful, but Christians have been known throughout history for their violence toward others, including other Christians.
ReplyDeleteWhat is a AR=25?
DeleteIt is in Two Corinthians.
ReplyDeleteSo, Two Corinthians walk into a bar, and then get the itch to go shootin'...
DeleteIt's LIBERTY for them!!!

You live in Alaska and don't know about UAF's Horton firing range that's open to the students?
ReplyDeleteSo no, Liberty won't be the first.
That's for their rifle team and riflery classes.
DeleteSo Gryph?
DeleteYou should take off the panties and put on some boxers.
Actually going commando but I appreciate your interest in my undergarments.
DeleteSo 8:54? Maybe like you, he likes the feel of those panties. You of all people shouldn't have a problem with that.
DeleteBitch! Bitch! Bitch!
No, Gryphen. It's for the student and faculty use as well.
DeleteI've used it when I was a student there. Friends of mine who currently work at the university use it.
It isn't the only other one either. There are plenty others. Don't even understand why this is a problem even on a liberal weenie blog like this one.
Delete6:13....a blog that you spend an inordinate amount if time reading and fussing about....
DeleteIf the morons are foolish enough to go to 'school' there, I guess it will be up to their sky pilot how many of them end up dead of gunshot wounds.
ReplyDeleteThose profs had best be giving out all A's.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Must mean they all have a death wish, thus proving that they follow a death cult.

It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out.
ReplyDeleteI was asked once, what scares you? Mother Nature and crazy people was my answer.
DeleteI have revised that to Mother Nature and crazy people with guns.
Air Force!

ReplyDeleteWhat a piece of shit university. I just looked at two majors; nursing and aeronautical engineering. Seriously lacking in PhD faculty - no surprise there I guess. The nurses don't even list their credentials correctly - they list all degrees, rather than their highest. Who the hell cares if you hav e BSN, MSN....it's a given that if you have a BSN you have an undergraduate degree, and only list that undergrad degree if it is NOT a BSN. I guess they think the more they list the smarter-like they appear.My small university has more doctorate prepared nursing faculty.
Their aeronautics - that should be chock full of PhDs - or even ONLY PhDs. nope, very few.
I'll bet this place cranks out many degrees, which I guess is good overall that these right wingers value education. Too bad it is indoctrinated education.
Losers.
whine whine whine.
