College is a high-stress environment for all. For many it's a first chance to get to know and understand people from differing walks of life. Adding guns into this equation would be a sinister and poorly reasoned cog in the works. Looking at others with fear and suspicion is a sad choice people are free to make; I am not saying bad things don't happen in the world. But no good can come from the combination of inexperienced youth, high stress, suspicion, agitation, and gunpowder. It's a powder keg, and they want to hand out matches in the concourse. |

| Ending "school massacres" is not a good thing, according to Nichole, therefore nothing good comes from allowing people the capacity to stop school violence. |

| Yet again beating on the strawman argument that campus carry will see drunken frat boys causing blood in the streets. Seems no matter how often they get called out they can never seem to let loose from the lies. Guess it's because that's all they have, deceit and lies. |

As is too often the case, there is no provision for comments.
The FIRST right is the right to life, and that doesn't change with the venue. Attached thereunto is the right to self-defense.
All of the platitudes espoused in Nichole's urgent argument are rendered moot if you are killed.
And only a gun can stop that. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
