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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
