quote:(CNSNews.com) - The growing trend of gun clubs on college campuses represents "absolutely no problem" to one of America's top gun control groups. According to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Handgun Violence, students who form such clubs will forever be a "passionate minority."
The Leadership Institute's Campus Leadership Program (CLP) affiliates itself with conservative organizations such as Gun Owners of America (GOA) and recruits paid field representatives to identify and train conservative students to form clubs. Since 1997, CLP has helped start 738 conservative student groups that are currently in existence. Forty-one of those student groups identify themselves as gun clubs.
Larry Pratt, executive director of GOA, said he would like to see a "reversal of the zero tolerance teaching that guns are bad." He also said that campuses should allow their students to carry firearms if licensed and of age, and he applauded the March 2006 Clemson University raffle that gave away an AK- 47 rifle. It was a "very good" step, said Pratt.

Sometimes a "passionate minority" can change the course of an entire country.
In this country, minorities have been known for getting special privileges. That should rattle the cages of anyone bent on controling people.
That asside one armed man can hold sway to 100 unarmed men.
Who's the minority, now?
