The same cannot be said when a student brings a gun to class. We cannot predict how it will be used and we cannot ignore its potential to cause harm. That’s what handguns do—they cause harm. They maim and kill people. And, as many opponents of the policy have pointed out, they may not be an effective means of self defense.
Yet, Texas wants them to be allowed in classrooms, where people are supposed to be freely exchanging ideas, learning to think critically, and exploring controversial viewpoints. The presence of handguns inevitably changes the tenor of the classroom, even if they are never used. And if, for whatever reason, they are used, there is no guarantee that everyone goes home in one piece. |

"And, as many opponents of the policy have pointed out, they may not be an effective means of self defense."
Who are the many opponents that believe that handguns are not an effective means of self defense?
This entire article is nothing but a liberal rant without any basis of fact. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction. — St. George Tucker, in his edition of 'Blackstone's Commentaries,' 1:300 (1803). |
