The Florida Legislature has abandoned the idea of allowing firearms to be carried on college campuses. While the speech made by the father of an FSU woman who was accidentally shot and killed may have ostensibly changed the minds of legislators, we think it has more to do with the opposition the lawmakers encountered.

The Editorial Board is pretty straight-laced, no matter the preconceptions people have of college newspaper editors.

Excuse us if we seem confused. We’re trying to come to grips with the strange feeling of deja vu.

It’s common knowledge that when someone says something like, “No offense, but...” he or she is about to contradict him or herself. After watching a YouTube video making the rounds this week, we’re beginning to see those phrases as red flags. We’re talking about the video University of California — Los Angeles student Alexandra Wallace posted disparaging Asians she saw talking on phones in the school library.

Our hearts go out to the nation of Japan, which is coping with a natural disaster combined with a nuclear threat, the likes of which it has never seen. Most of us have witnessed the horrific images of the damage in the wake of this confluence of problems, be it via Internet, television or newspaper.

We understand that people forfeit some of their rights when they break the law. It’s just, and it’s part of the due punishment our justice system provides.

It’s been a pretty sobering week for us. We’ve been bombarded with stories of budget cuts and constantly reminded of how much money the university, the state and the nation need to stay afloat.

Instant Photoshop is one step closer to reality, but hold off on the celebration.

When we first heard about the 8-1 Supreme Court ruling in favor of the Westboro Baptist Church, we were confused. This ridiculous group protests outside military funerals, including the one in question held for Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, putting the families of the soldiers through more grief than necessary.

Remember that 30 percent tuition increase UF President Bernie Machen proposed? It looks like that increase would hit students even harder because the Florida Legislature has to make cuts to Bright Futures after it convenes on March 8.

We’ve been mentioning our governor’s proposed budget cuts here and there, but it’s time to get specific about people on the losing side. Of course, most organizations receiving government funding could be counted among the losers, but the money needs to be sheared from somewhere. We just don’t like that people who are already struggling may have their helping hands abandon them.

Hold on to your wallets, Gators.

Sure, Ian Murphy, the editor of the Buffalo Beast, got some interesting information out of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. The problem is most journalism organizations don’t qualify prank calls as a method of gaining information. Murphy’s call wasn’t exactly the grown-up version of “Is your refrigerator running?” He impersonated one of the governor’s top financial supporters, billionaire David Koch. From his 20-minute conversation, he fished out information on how Gov. Walker was planning to bring the Democrats back into the state.

Too distracted to get that paper written in one sitting?

You hit below the belt, Rush. Well, actually right at the waistline.

Sorry, Bahrain. While your protestors have a righteous cause in overthrowing one of the few absolute monarchies left in the world, you can’t beat crazy.

The Wisconsin union crisis took us by surprise.

We’ve already established that we’re a little old-school with our love for physical books. While we learn to slowly embrace the digital reading revolution, we’ve overlooked another change. The influx of 3-D movies has been well-documented and discussed, but for the most part we haven’t worried about the reasoning behind the fad. If filmmakers want us to feel like those action-movie explosions are happening in our faces, so be it.

In a biannual tradition, the Editorial Board called in candidates from both Unite and Progress parties Sunday night to discuss the Student Government elections. With the heat on, both figuratively and literally, in our sauna-like conference room, we came to a realization: Everyone’s good.

Forgive us if we’re not as chipper as usual.
