The Right to Bear Arms ... on Campus

I like the right to bear arms.  I will grudgingly agree that some places, such as bars, are places where guns probably shouldn't be.  This bill proposes allowing guns on college campuses.  I think that's a great idea.  It would make school shootings briefer, because one of the armed students or teachers might manage to take out the shooter.  And it might help discourage rape, too.

"America has a relatively high rate of rape and other sexual crimes, especially for a developed nation."
Chances are they are only going by the numbers of REPORTED sex crimes. Just remember that in many countries women still hide the fact that they have been the victim of sexual assault.

"Chances are they are only going by the numbers of REPORTED sex crimes. "

That applies to the U.S. as well as elsewhere; both the F.B.I. and the Justice Department estimate that far less than half of all rapes are reported to the police.
