    | Students and faculty within the university system are divided. The new law law has generated protests, the retirement of a Texas A&M professor and threats of punishments against educators who try to ban firearms from their classrooms.
 
 But despite what pro-gun supporters term hysteria about a law that already stands in several states, the campus carry law is only going to apply to a small portion of the student population in Texas. It’s likely to keep parents, faculty and students on edge, but experts say the campus carry law could turn out to be a non-event, at least if history provides any guidance.

    | They are on edge cause liberal myths have their heads on the chopping block.  Soon, students will be accustomed to their classmates taking responsibility for self defense and being armed. |

                      | Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.  — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |  |  |
