What should the role of guns on college campuses be?

Wow bdphvb, just when I didn't think I could lose more faith in people. You did it. Just there.

Since April 15th, 1999 there have been 12 random shootings at churches across this country.

Lets count em down!
Salt Lake City, Utah. 2 killed + shooter. (Shot by police)
Fort Worth, Texas. 7 killed + shooter. (Suicide)
Hopkinsville, Kentucky. 2 killed.
Lynbrook, New York. 2 killed.
Conception, Missouri. 2 killed + shooter. (Suicide)
Atlanta, Georgia. 2 killed + shooter. (Suicide)
College Park, Georgia. Shooter killed (police officer was attending service.)
Brookfield, Wisconsin. 7 killed + shooter. (Suicide)
Detroit, Michigan. 2 killed + shooter. (Suicide)
Baton Rouge, Louisiana. 4 killed, one abducted and murdered later.
Neosho, Missouri. 3 killed.
Colorado Springs, Colorado. 2 killed + shooter. (Shot by armed security.)

So yeah, just let these crazy people do what they want. Criminals should run our society and dictate how we live our lives, not the majority of law abiding citizens out there. Grow up, take a look around and see what is going on in this world. It is time for people like you to stop sitting on your hands becoming willing victims when you have the right to defend yourself.

Criminals do some nasty shit. Just yesterday I took a defense course and the instructor taught us how to defend ourselves while lying on the ground on either our backs or stomachs. His justification for this is that there have been a rash of killings where the victim is wounded from distance and then executed point blank.

You go ahead and take that bullet, don't fight back while you are sitting there watching the criminal rape your girlfriend. You have to live with yourself, not me.

Having guns on campus is as ridiculous as having guns in church.

You should rethink your feeling of safety.

Are there metal detectors at every door? Are there armed security guards with wands checking bag and waistbands?

If you answered no to these questions, you are illogically assuming that you are safe.

Its a dream world. Sure, its nice to go there sometimes but in reality, you are more unsafe than safe when on a college campus.

Hordes of students, unarmed. Sounds like a potential target to me. Oh, and they are going to go on lockdown if they hear of a shooting? You think criminals don't watch the news, read school emails and listen to the radio?

If second amendment rights don't come into play then you should delete your video because the only thing protecting the first amendment is the second.

If you don't feel safe knowing people might have a concealed weapon around you how do you go to a Mall, Movie Theater, or on the road? People already legally conceal carry everywhere but on school campus (except in Utah where there is no gun free school zone), and that doesn't even include those who carry concealed illegally, some of which are past felons who are not even allowed to touch a gun. Having a gun free zone will not keep the armed rapists from crossing that imaginary line. Disarming female students who might otherwise be allowed to protect themselves from rapists is a cowardly way to feel safe.

Those who already legally carry everywhere in their daily life should be able to carry their weapons wherever they go. They already did everything required by said state to carry legally and are law abiding citizens.

you should then feel completely unsafe wherever you go because there are many in your state who can legally carry a concealed weapon. Good luck being paranoid.
