I grew up in Madison, as did my father. I now live in California, but I often thought my children might attend UW-Madison.
But we care about our children's safety. Wisconsin now requires universities to allow people (students, staff and visitors) to carry guns on school grounds. Off-campus places where students hang out also can allow guns.
I have no problem with responsible people having guns for hunting or even at home for self-defense (though there is a serious risk of accidents or self-harm). But guns don't belong on school grounds, in bars or restaurants. |

Evil people are seeking gun free locations. A university of hapless youth even better. Has this person thought thru what they're saying? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
