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 |
Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
