Panel discussion on “gun rights, responsibilities and regulations”…
GRNC has learned that Davidson College has invited the public to a panel discussion on “Gun Rights, Responsibilities, and Regulations,” on Monday evening, October 7 in the Lilly Family Gallery of Chambers Building.
The panel will address questions such as: What are the trends in the use of guns in murders and other violent crimes in the U.S.? What is the current status and scope of our Second Amendment rights? What does federal law require regarding background checks prior to gun purchases? What concerns do law-enforcement personnel have about illegally trafficked guns? Are changes to current gun laws or regulations warranted, either at the state or federal level?
The panel will include Chief Rodney Monroe of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, Chief Jeanne Miller of the Davidson Police Department, Interim Acting Chief/Captain Carolyn McMackin of Davidson College Public Safety, Lance Stell, Thatcher Professor of Philosophy and Director of Medical Humanities, and Andrew O’Geen, Assistant Professor of Political Science. The event is being sponsored by the Vann Center for Ethics, and will be moderated by David Perry, Director of the Vann Center and Professor of Applied Ethics.
Lost Invitations?
Noticeably missing from the discussion panel, of course, are any solid Pro-Second Amendment individuals. Perhaps their invitations were lost at some point? Here’s where you come in: plan to attend the forum at Davidson College on Monday evening so that all voices can be heard. Unless we are willing to participate in these types of forums, our voices may be swept by the wayside so that only one side of the issue is heard. Although we can’t say for sure if that is the intention here, we can make sure that our side is represented in the audience, at least.
Important note
Those planning to attend the event should note that guns are not allowed on the Davidson College campus. Davidson College is a private educational facility and does have a “no weapons/ firearms” policy. Please do not bring firearms with you on Monday evening.
I attended 2nd Amendment forum at Shippensburg University last year that was sponsored by the university's campus newspaper and moderated by a thirty something law professor who kept interjecting his thoughts on the subject (some moderator). His students were in the audience and I guess he was trying to impress them but the majority backed the pro 2nd Amendment panel members and I guess that frosted his balls.
ReplyDeleteAfterwards, a group of us went up to speak with the kind professor and his demeanor had changed - like the liberal chamillion he is. One guy in the audience, who was a young black Iraq War vet basically told the anti gun panelists to they were full of scrap. Loud applause after he spoke.
My niece is attending Ship and she tells me who the lib proofs are and the bullshit they convey.
Thanks. By the way, I thought you were coming out here after checking in today.
DeleteI did. We met. I met Dixie too. Was with Tom, Tom, and Karen... I am the tall guy lol.. Beautiful place too! Talk with you tomorrow for sure.
ReplyDelete:) Obviously, I missed your name when introduced, sorry, plus your demeanor didn't strike me as the one I was accustomed to on-line, but I doubt if mine does either! We'll wander out around eleven and see you, again, then.:)
