An emotionally charged atmosphere filled with young folks of folks with questionable maturity levels under stress?

Putting forth fringe area suggestions doesn’t do gun owners any good. Can you imagine the reaction of some anti-gun person getting up and saying, “I was reading on the conservative site, Free Republic, a call to arm all students...”

What part of “21 year minimum age” don’t you understand?

I myself don’t believe it’s wise at all to allow weapons to a high concentration of slightly overaged teenagers, who are far too much all about drunkenness and exhibit many of society’s increasing ills of selfishness and pettiness and general idiocy. It’s a critical mass that all too well may demonstrate higher annual death rate than even this 1-time (and rare) massacre.

I do think the adults working on campus should be allowed to carry.

However, if campi want to allow all to carry, fine. I have no big things against it. I just don’t think it’s wise and time would tell. If I’m wrong, so be it.

Except that there is no support for such a claim.

We just want to end the campus bans on carrying by those who are otherwise qualified to carry.

Picture this: TSA expanded (call it HSA) to all public areas where the same inconveniences experienced at airports will be expanded to every public venue.

The 'safety' of the community will trump individual rights. Coming to a theater near you.
