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.

A little tip that should help you: don't try to have an intelligent conversation with a gun nut, it isn't possible. Guns are like a religion to them, it's worse than trying to have an intelligent discussion of religion with a right-wing Christian. Both gun nuts and right wing Xians, all they hear is what they want to hear, and all they can say is excuses.
