Senator Jake Chapman now wants guns flooding Iowa universities [View all]
Geezus, what possibly could go wrong there?
A newly-proposed bill would allow weapons on campus at public universities and community colleges in the state.
Republican Senator Jake Chapman, from Adel, said the bill is necessary so that students can protect themselves, especially in the case of a mass shooting.
Right now, the Iowa Board of Regents has the final say on weapons on campus. Chapman’s bill would strip away that control.
The Board of Regents released a statement opposing the bill Monday, saying it “infringes on the statutory control of the Board of Regents."

Hopefully this doesn't get out of committee.
