Not that it’s going to matter, I think,  but the argument you offer is an assumption the Constitution does in fact permit it.  Shouldn’t that be a court decision in the likely event the bill passes?

      I would like to make a couple of points about this bill.

      First, I have no doubt that police chiefs all across the country would love it if everyone were unarmed and they had an effective monopoly on the use of force. That doesn't mean that it's best for you and I. 

      Second, the question shouldn't be "should we allow guns on campus", it should be "is the situation on campus dire enough that we should infringe upon the right to bear arms despite their being a Constitutional amendment specifically forbidding such a thing"?

      Concerning SB 1254, I think we should try the economic argument against adoption. Just tell your congresspersons that the State of Idaho cannot afford the huge costs associated with the passage of this bill. It could cost millions to supply all the teachers, professors, staffers and campus visitors with the Kevlar vests that we will demand having in order to protect ourselves.

Masterson says he and three other police chiefs were blocked from
