With assassin-like resolve, Volokh undertook the numerous tasks necessary to inaugurate an official campus organization. He solicited members by placing fliers in student mail boxes at HLS and recruited a faculty adviser, Richard Parker, who is Williams professor of criminal justice. He then drew up a formal club constitution and solemnly pledged to the HLS general counsel that the gun club would restrict its gun-related activities to off-campus venues...
There are, perhaps, few sights more intellectually fulfilling than watching a line of budding legal minds living and breathing the Second Amendment to the Constitution. The skill and accuracy with which many of the law students fired suggested that while the gun club might be new to HLS, a passion for guns certainly is not.

The stereotypical Ivy League type is a staple of any good reality show. If I could fake a little extra intellect and arrogance I was in like Flynn...
