They just bring one more piece of evidence that we need gun control, which disgusts me even more.
Hmm, I doubt that these people who were very clearly breaking the law and dealing in illegal items would have been dissuaded from obtaining a gun just because there's a law against them having one.

To hijack the discussion, people in California, at least on these threads, tend to assume that the public college system in California is a fine one. Why is this?
I think it's a pretty decent one with it's tiers of universities (UC and CalState systems) and community college feeder system along with some very highly ranked and selective universities, but the colleges are filled with students and some succumb to become criminals. The same occurs at the highest ranked private colleges as well. I think it'd be difficult to find many major campuses where some students don't use and sell these drugs.

btw - SDSU has roughly 29,800 undergrad students. The 75 arrested students comprises about 0.25% of that population meaning 99.75% were NOT arrested. I'm not saying there wasn't a problem at SDSU, there clearly was, I'm just putting it into perspective.
