City agrees to create resident-only parking zone on street near KU campus
Of course it does. The neighborhood south of 18th and Naismith has an even better gripe because most of the people parking there aren't living there. From what I read, the houses getting the permits also have off-street parking, so essentially, they are wanting space to park second or third cars. How does this not set a precedent for anyone living anywhere that students are normally taking all the parking?

Does this mean we can all get assigned parking spaces on our respective streets? That seems to be the precedent set by this.

Editorial: Tax fairness
I love how these things always make it seem like internet businesses are nameless, faceless entities. Online businesses invest in their local communities just as much as physical businesses. Most major retailers online already collect sales tax. What this is going to hurt is small internet businesses, most likely those with one of two employees, who can't afford a physical location in the first place. They are going to have to deal with sales tax laws and filing in every place they sell anything. Can you imagine how complicated that is going to be? Tax attorneys will be the only one coming out ahead on this one. There will be no advantage to physical businesses or internet businesses. The consumer loses. It's a bad deal.

KU spring enrollment dips; officials hope for turnaround in autumn
I wonder how much it has to do with online programs and classes. FHSU has a lot of them. Does KU have any?

Capitol Report: Higher education cuts, pension changes, proof of citizenship
I always thought Republicans believed in a free market. What's with the salary caps?

Under bill, concealed carry of guns would be decided by school boards, university leaders
You accused me of not answering a question, yet avoided mine entirely. Give me a legitimate reason why you should be able to decide that someone else can't carry a gun? If you aren't afraid of the world around you, and aren't afraid of randomly being attacked by someone who has a gun illegally, then why are you afraid of someone legally carrying a weapon?

It's worthless to give you examples, because you will refuse to acknowledge them. As I said, that is why you are part of the problem.
If someone wants to kill you, you will be dead before the police get there. That doesn't bother you, apparently, so there is no point in listing off a bunch of examples. That's the difference between you and someone who carries. You would say violence is relatively rare in Lawrence, therefore you are safe. But violent crime rates are just a statistic. As long as you never become the statistic, it's a fine way to go through life. Good luck with that. I hope it works out for you. No one says you have to have anything to do with guns. If someone decides to hurt you, you can just hope for the best.
My question is why you do you feel the need to make other people do the same? Has an ordinary citizen carrying a legal concealed weapon ever hurt you?

Maybe you should be.
I don't have any problem with gun control. I don't have any problem with gun advocacy. I do have a problem with people who call anyone who carries a gun a "gun nut" or anyone who thinks that the slightest gun control is going to turn the United States into Nazi Germany.
Neither of you is helping, at all. You won't admit that they have a right to defend themselves from the things you pretend aren't threats, and they refuse to admit that they don't need a hundred round drum magazine to protect themselves from those threats.
Both of you are the problem.

An Iowa State fan is restrained by police after charging at Kansas head coach Bill Self after the Ja
They have been carrying guns for a few years now. When I went to school there, they didn't have them though. They didn't even have Tasers at one point. It is loaded. The angle and color of the footplate makes it look empty.

The list of what gun advocates are afraid of could go on for pages. Or, you could just go to CNN. It won't take you long to make a list.
