Concealed Guns on Campus

Samantha's blog titled Guns=Bad News Bears, she talks about a current bill that is attempting to get passed in the Texas Legislature that would allow anyone with a license to carry guns on university campuses. I agree with Samantha that this bill is ridiculous and should not be passed as it will cause more harm than protection. I think that college students are not responsible enough to carry guns, and have too much stress which could lead to violent outbreaks that would be much worse with a gun in their possession.

I think that Samantha did a really good job in her blog. She stated her opinion and gave plenty of evidence to back up her opinion, and also got the opinion from a source who was involved with the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting to show that shootings have in fact occurred on college campuses in the past. The only thing i would suggest is to have put in an opinion that was for the bill and then state an argument against that opinion.

  1. The bill is indeed very ridiculous. No one should be allowed to carry guns and ammunition in the college vicinity. College is a peaceful place where students come to learn. Taking guns at the college will only endanger those students. I thing government should re-evaluate the law thus proposed.
