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. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
