And they want to allow guns on campus? You can't even trust the students with swords. What is my school coming to?

You must have an IQ > 100 so you don't understand. This would never have happened if everyone at Tech carried samurai swords.
Yeah...blame it on the IQ. How about we amend the new proposed legislation to include samurai swords. Then I would feel a lot better walking around my former campus - and midtown in general.
