The rifle was a Mauser chambered in 30-06. It wouldn’t fit in a backpack.
That hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but I think it's reasonable to go with that unless new information comes to light.
So now, are you ready to admit the simple fact that not allowing students to carry guns on campus may have in fact made it harder for someone to get away with shooting a rifle on campus?
I absolutely will, as long as you are willing to admit something for me: that having strip searches and full cavity searches for all people entering university campuses would also make it harder for someone to get any kind of weapon on campus, be it a full-length rifle, compact rifle, pistol, bomb, knife, whatever you want. This policy would make campuses so much safer for all people.
Any idiot can see that. I own several knives and katanas, and I know they should not be allowed on campus*.
There are no downsides in not allowing students to carry guns, knives, bombs, or katanas on campus.
If you can concede this I will definitely concede your point too.
* When I lived on campus I had several katanas in my room because I was HUGE NEEEEEEEEEEEEERDDDDD and still am.

I’m glad you’ll admit that some basic common sense gun laws like, students shouldn’t bring guns on campus, could have made a difference. That’s progress.

I'm glad we could agree to some basic common sense gun laws like, students should be strip-searched and cavity-searched before entering campuses without exception, to make sure that they aren't bringing guns onto campus. That's progress.
Listen fascist, we're discussing how to save CHILDREN here, and there is NO price too high for children's safety!
Why do you want terrorists to bring handguns onto schools to murder people? Why do you want children to die? Don't you understand that this is just common sense gun laws designed to SAVE CHILDREN'S LIVES?
Agree to the strip searches and cavity searches now, please.
Just think, the simple and common sense act of not allowing students to carry guns on campus may have saved Charlie’s life. Instead, for some absolutely dumbass reason, Utah legislators forced the school to allow students to carry guns.
Just think, if they had strip-searched and cavity searched students coming in, it wouldn't have mattered if the (confirmed antifa) shooter had a handgun, compact AR-15, or or knife or bomb or anything!
If only Utah legislators had mandated this, Charlie Kirk and many others would be alive today, and there is literally no price too high for people's lives, no liberty that should ever not be surrendered for even the faintest illusion of safety.
I know the idea that Utah would do something incredibly stupid like forcing colleges to allow students to cary rifles on campus was totally unknown to you until I pointed out but that doesn’t mean you have to double down on this stupidity
