I completely agree with my fellow classmate in his blog "Bring Books Not Guns". He has stated some good facts and due to what happened just a couple of months ago at The University of Texas, I would not say that had a good light on this whole subject.
Some people can argue saying that if we would have allowed students to have guns they would have felt safe if they had a gun with them, but it would have probably caused an even bigger scene.
If carrying a gun would be legal on campuses then just anybody could have a gun and that would make me personally feel unsafe because we do have some people out there that aren't really that sane and could basically "crack" at anytime with any little thing. I would not want to be around one of them when they get a bad grade on their big test or anything of that nature.
He also makes a good argument saying that the campus police do respond in an orderly fashion and are trained to use guns when they are needed. Also if everybody was able to carry guns and the person didn't see the gunman’s face but said they had a gun, well they basically described a chunk full of people but not THE gunman.
He does bring up good suggestions as to having hotlines where people who need to talk but feel that they can't talk to anybody can call the hotline and keep them anonymous and hopefully solve the problem without using violence. I say that we should keep the ban to not allowing ANY weapons on campuses.
