"I believe in the Second Amendment right to bear arms."
"That has been fundamental since the Bill of Rights was approved."
"However, the bill to allow college students to arm themselves in classroom buildings is poorly thought out."
"If college students feel threatened, where are the student petitions? Are there thousands of college students in Texas marching in protest to be allowed to carry guns?"
"If college students feel so threatened on our campuses, why haven’t we heard from them in large numbers?" ... |

Why should the lack of a mass protest allow MY personal God-given right to be infringed?
The Second Amendment applies to ALL citizens, not just those represented by a mob. |

The writer lapses into Fuddism immediately upon beginning the treatise. "I support the Second Amendment BUT...."
No rational person would believe that a student of age who has been vetted and issued a carry permit would act any differently or less trustworthy because of a location.
The writer is a dunce. |

Seems a lot of folks conveniently forget the Texas Tower incident 8/1/66. One aspect that probably reduced the death toll was one or more students grabbing rifles from personal vehicles on campus and taking the sniper under fire. If memory serves one assisted in the final assault on the sniper.
If anyone has been vetted by his PD and the USG, how does some mud college dean justify finding fault with the judgement ? |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
