WVU faculty and students were each given an opportunity to share their thoughts on House Bill 2519.
"More guns on campus is not going to lead to more violence," said Jackson Wolfe, who's pro-campus carry.
"Having the accessibility to a weapon makes situations escalate very quickly," said Olivia Young, a student against the bill.
The proposed Campus Self Defense Act would allow licensed people to carry a concealed weapon on college campuses throughout the state. |

"Having the accessibility to a weapon makes situations escalate very quickly," said Olivia Young, a student against the bill.
Straw man, and completely without logic.
How does one 'escalate' from the starting point of shooting everybody in sight?
GAH. Ridiculous. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
