Louisiana gun laws among weakest in nation

[Ray]

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence issued its state rankings last week and identified Louisiana as among the states with the weakest gun laws in the nation.
Louisiana tied for second to last place in America, along with Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Kentucky and Oklahoma -- earning just two points out of total of 100. Only Utah, with zero points, fared worse on the Brady index.
"Louisiana's elected leaders have done nothing in the past year to stop the flow of illegal guns within the state, failing to do common-sense things like closing the loophole that allows dangerous people to buy guns at gun shows without background checks," said Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign, which advocates for legislation to close the gun show loophole at the national level.
But Louisiana earned a couple of points in the Brady ranking for rejecting legislation that would have forced colleges and universities to allow concealed and loaded guns on campus.

Sounds like our elected officials are doing a great job! And if they know what is good for them, they will continue to tell the officials at the Brady Campaign to go @#%! themselves!

i think its BS that we cant carry on campus,

IT will make it campus safer because it puts protection in the hands of those of us who arent gonna use them the wrong way.

If a criminal wants to bring a gun on campus, saying he can or cant wont stop him

[LaAngler]

[2ndamendment]

You are correct. Gun shows have to conduct checks also.

[LaAngler]

I would feel much safer carrying on campus. I walk past a lot of shady characters on the way to class everyday.
