Collge Professor Sues From Prohibiting Gun Ban --Madeleine Norton, 4th period

Summary: Upon finding out that Missouri's UM was banning concealed guns on premises, a professor stood up against the school and sued in a hopes to raise it. As explained by Fox News,
"Royce de R. Barondes, who has taught business and corporate law at the school in Columbia since 2002, is looking to give his employers a lesson in constitutional law by challenging a policy he said violates his federal and state rights. Barondes, who also teaches a course on firearms law, has 'extensive knowledge and training on the lawful use and safe handling of a firearm,' according to his legal case, filed in state court, and believes carrying a firearm helps ensure his safety on the 35,000-student campus. '[The gun ban makes] law-abiders more vulnerable to attack by law-breakers — [and] unlawfully and unconstitutionally violates plaintiff's individual rights to keep and carry a firearm for self-defense,' reads the lawsuit, filed late last month."

Analysis/Synthesis: This article heavily relates to the Founding Fathers' disagreements on the ratification of a new U.S. Constitution and the eventual addition of the Bill of Rights. The Second amendment states that "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Thia is clearly conflicting with current matters of the U.S. and our continued issues with gun safety and the limits of prohibiting/accepting firearms.
