So, the question becomes do we run the risk of regulating gun ownership so much that the responsible people among us decide it isn't worth the hassle of multiple classes, training sessions and big fees to get a license? When that happens only police and the bad guys will have guns. And as we all know the police can't be everywhere.

Dependable Americans with permits already carry their weapons into shopping malls, banks, churches and grocery stores among countless other places every day. Why should a university campus be any different?

Even some of the libs get it.

Honestly didn't expect that from the Huffington Post...

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, named for former presidential press secretary Jim Brady who nearly lost his life in 1981 when an assassin opened fire on his boss, Ronald Reagan, stands firmly against the idea of weapons on campus. An organizations rep says, "The college age years -- 18-24 -- are the peak years for engaging in gun crimes, abusing drugs and alcohol, attempting suicide, and having other mental health problems. A binge-drinking, drug-using student is dangerous enough; let's not give him or her a gun."

...

Let me get this straight, Brady Campaign...you think that college students(who have proven themselves responsible enough to get into college instead of selling drugs and smuggling sex slaves like the rest of us) are such a danger to themselves that they should be denied basic rights? Why even let them have running water if they're so incapable of not murdering themselves?

As if a binge-drinking, drug-using student is concerned about the legal carrying of a firearm.

Jim Brady is just another elitist with a double standard. He's all about citizens not having guns, yet he owns a pistol for home defense! Hey Jim :finger: Sorry for the sidetrack, just had to get that out there.
