I think women going to college should carry guns

[Chiefmanwillcatch]

The girl who was abducted from her dorm. The hitchhiker who wasn't a college girl but was on a walk by herself.

Now these two coed hatecrime murders.

Japan is another country which has very strict gun control coupled with low gun crime rates.

I understand that neither of these country are accurate views compared to your situation because neither country has a constitutional right to own guns. And I completely understand that only lawful citizens would stick to the law, however it seems from my point of view that restricting weapon does not increase weapon death but lowers it.

Yeah but you guys have those crazy ass kids that dress in fur and throw boomerangs at people's heads. I've seen the Road Warrior movies. Australia is so not safe.

Sure, if you're willing to force everyone to give up a freedom, I'm sure you can increase general security a little bit.

why do you assume that everyone who could legally carry a firearm concealed on a college campus instantly becomes a reerun in a stressful situation?

absolutley not....but those that are qualified should be allowed to ...1 in 50 would have been suitable at Va tech no?

In Switzerland there are automatic weapons in the hands of all able bodied males, (the Swiss self defense force which includes , I believe all males 18-65) where is all of the gun violence there?

Another idea is to do more profiling which pisses black people off.

But it should be targetted to all hood gangster looking persons.

Maybe ID cards around college campuses.

...and we're off!

My university has implemented an alert system. The system calls your home and texts you a message (if you have a cellphone) that gives out dangers. We just got one actually. There's a possible dangerous weapon in a residence hall on campus.

It's sad that we have to spend our resources on this kind of stuff. Very very sad.

Go to www.uni.edu to see the Alert System in action.

This is one of the worst statements I have read on the planet.
Arming women the most emotionally out of control being on this planet is STUPID.

Just screen all people that are on premises of colleges. The screening should include psychological evaluations.

Just my 2 cents but I'm for open carry with a permit. When a criminal sees you carrying a holstered weapon it's even more of a deterrent.
I see ranchers out here in Western Nebraska packing heat all the time. And not many people give it a second notice.
