Texas seems to believe the answer to crime and gun violence is more guns on the street.
I recently read an article about how Texas is in the process of passing a bill for it to be legal for students to carry concealed weapons with them on college campuses to “protect themselves.”
This bill would only apply to public universities. Private universities would be able to enforce their own rules.

| A lot of students, faculty and visitors on the UT Austin campus on August first 1966 would probably disagree with this opinion. Its was from these ranks armed individuals took Charles Whitman under fire preventing his having a "turkey shoot" until police could respond. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
