Oklahoma schools will remain a safe haven for psychotic murderers...

I remember how shocked I was when while deployed to Kosovo I learned of the Virginia Tech massacre. I remember being even more shocked when someone pulled up an old blog post of mine from the previous year that essentially predicted the tragedy. I hate to predict something like that, but when you leave students and professors disarmed and helpless, this is invariably what happens.

State Republicans and Democrats say they made a joint decision to leave the bill off the agenda of the committee where it would have been debated.

Sponsors of the bill argued that it would improve campus safety. Their reasoning is that guns in the hands of people with the proper training could avert deadly shooting episodes like the catastrophe at Virginia Tech a year ago.

But educators and students don't agree. University of Oklahoma President David Boren says the measure would have hurt student and faculty recruitment. He also notes the dilemma for police trying to figure out whether somebody with a gun is a threat or not.

Mr. Boren, much like Larry Hincker, you will have the blood of innocents on your hands should, God and Goddess forbid, another tragedy happen.
