State lawmakers have introduced legislation to allow the concealed carry of guns on campus for the third consecutive year. Senator Plakon filed a bill for the 2017 legislature that would repeal the current ban on concealed weapons at state colleges and universities. Like years prior, students from both sides of the argument are playing a key role as the legislative session draws near.

All of the noise in opposition ignores two irrefutable facts:
1) No law will keep bad actors from carrying guns into any venue and committing violent felonies. Only people who are not so inclined are therefore affected, and negatively.
2) There is no evidence whatsoever from any of the eight states that allow unencumbered, licensed carry on college campuses that any of the dire prognistications perpetually invoked by opponents have happened. NONE.
The legislature should focus on these two facts, ignore the nonsensical noise of anti-liberty opponents, and pass this bill. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.... We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price. — Ronald Reagan |
