UNC system President Tom Ross has weighed into the gun debate. Ross wants a provision in House Bill 937, that allows concealed carry permit holder to have a weapon in a locked vehicles on a college campus. to be removed.
This should come as no surprise to anyone. Ross, as head of the liberal Z Smith Reynolds Foundation, funded the Anti-Gun group NC Against Gun Violence (NCAGV). NCAGV also happens to be an original member of BluePrintNC the group that supports “eviscerating & crippling” conservative state leaders.
Back in 2010 Civitas wrote about how liberal Ross was when he was speedily hired as Erskine Bowles replacement as UNC System President. You can read those articles here, here and here.
It is also a sad commentary that the story used this line to make the case, “Vehicle break-ins rank among the top campus crimes, which could lead to guns winding up in the wrong hands, he said.” Instead of stopping law abiding citizens from exercising their constitutional rights, how about making sure campuses and the people on them do not have to fear for their property.
Ross has nothing proving his position, except under-reported rape stats. People are too smart to believe something just because an “official” tells them so.
