Possibly one of the most ignorant posts I've seen here EVER. You're post sounds just like the statements by the guns banners that Detroit would become a free fire zone if shall-issue passed in Michigan. The law passed, and no free fire zone resulted.
BTW, how old do you think most of our troops are? Last I checked, they carry guns. Do you think the rules for carrying are different for 18 to 22 year olds? The penalties for using a firearm improperly? Can 18 to 22 year olds drive (cars kill far more than firearms every year)?
You post is the pinacle of feeling-based abject stupidity. (Note to mod: I'm criticizing the post, NOT the poster.)
Just because I disagee with you doesn't make me ignorant. We have 15 million college students. If you think that arming them all with handguns will make college campuses safer, you are nuts. How many college students are killed by guns now each year on campus? Using one incident like today's to make policy does not place this tragedy in the proper context. This is a very rare occurrence. The chances of getting shot on campus are probably less than being struck by lightning. And you can still be shot even if armed.

Using your logic, we should start arming 17 and 18 year olds in high school.

It has nothing to do with feeling, but rather thinking. I don't agree with the rationale for arming 15 million college students because of an isolated incident.
