This is not about politics.
It is about the future of college athletics in Arkansas if the gun law, Act 562, is not amended to forbid firearms at sporting events.
Act 562 expands where concealed firearms are allowed and takes effect Sept. 1. Senate Bill 724 would amend the law to prohibit guns at the State Hospital, UAMS and sporting events held by state colleges and universities.
The bill was recommended Tuesday by the House Judiciary Committee. Now it is up to the Arkansas House of Representatives to pass it.
The sooner the better.
Failure to amend the act could mean trouble with the SEC for the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.
