In the midst of a rash of violent attacks against students - some of which occurred right across the street from University property - why does the University stick to its policy that denies students, faculty and staff the right to protect themselves using the only sensible tool for fending off a rapist or mugger? When faced with serious injury or death at the hands of an attacker, we have the moral and legal right to defend ourselves with deadly force. But the University, with its antigun policies, would rather leave students with only one option: running faster than the assailant. As we have seen time and time again, that is usually too much to hope for.\nUniversity students are responsible adults and the school's policy should not prevent them from enjoying the same rights as other Virginians, including the right to keep and bear arms.
