Should guns be carried in schools? No. A school should be a place of higher education.


Why should one be stripped of the human right of self-defense in order to learn?

What is wrong with happy, healthy, lawful, armed people peacefully interacting in all aspcets of life?

I was not advocating the stripping of the right to self defense. I believe that an institution of higher learning is just that. The students should not have to worry about their safety. They have enough of a problem worrying about their grades. As I stated in my musings, it is the proverbial double edged sword. Do we allow everyone to be armed (and wonder if the person sitting next to you will reach into his book bag and trigger a negligent discharge), or should we advocate the nanny-statist tactic of police security everywhere, metal detectors, searches, etc.?

What is wrong with happy, healthy, lawful, armed people peacefully interacting in all aspcets of life?

Nothing. We agree on this principle.
