What do these people have to do to convince you that they're a threat to public safety?

From
Slate: 287 people have been killed in school shootings (1980-2012), or < 15 people per year.
Meanwhile cars kill 30,000 people per year and cancer kills 500,000.
To make me seriously care about this, they'd have to be killing at about 100 times the current rate. It is not a problem.

I don't see how you can say this with a straight face. In the Bill of Rights, the 2nd Amendment declares that the right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed. Enforcing a no firearms policy is obviously a violation of those rights. A college campus is government property. If she wants to give her talk in a private building, she can enforce whatever rules the owner will let her get away with.
Again, I support the rights of the game developers to make whatever games they want, the feminists to complain, and the gamers to complain about the feminists complaining. But keep your dirty paws of my Bill of Rights.
