If it was literally called "The Jane Doe Act", there wouldn't be any specific she.Jasonw560 wrote:Hate to admit it, but you're right.

I sometimes wish I could be like the Brady bunch and dance in victim's blood. Then we could name it the Jane Doe Act after some pretty female rape victim on campus. Have you ever seen how those types of bills gather almost no public opposition? How can you be against a pretty young girl defending herself from a rapist?

Re: 2013 "code name"
Oooh... Since it's much harder for someone to steal something from your holster than your car, how about the "Keep Guns Away From Criminals Act"?

Re: 2013 "code name"
That's why I put "Crime Reduction" in my suggestion. It doesn't mention guns in the title, and it gets people to at least contemplate the link between more CHLs and lower crime rates. Statistically it's true, so why can't we use that to our advantage? Especially since most (I think) of us will say that's generally the point anyway (that is to say, using guns for defense against robbery, assault, rape, murder, etc, rather than the exceedingly rare mass-shooting).Hoi Polloi wrote:I forgot who posted the No, No, No post in the other thread (Uptheirons?), but I agree with him.
All of these share the same problem as Campus Carry. They only resonate and speak to the sympathies of those who already know about it, understand, and agree. To someone who does not know, these all say, "Guns and Kids!" The group of people you're wanting to reach do not place a strong value on anything mentioned. I'm still thinking on what would and don't have suggestions.

Re: 2013 "code name"
The "Campus Crime Curtailment Clause"? It might get people thinking about the relationship between guns and crime. Plus, I like alliteration.
Ok, so I was actually thinking of the "Campus Crime Reduction Act".
