After Tragedy, Ariz. Lawmakers Eye More Gun Rights

Quote from Hawk2007 : no to hijack the thread, but if universities are full of drunk/drugged out kids by your account, is there a single compelling reason why employers should hire them? I'd kind of laugh at Obama and you in a room together calling for businesses to hire college kids.

Where did I say they were "full of" drunk/drugged out kids? There are many drunk/drugged out kids in concentration on colleges, but that doesn't mean all of them are or that they're all at once or all the time. Yet again, you're adding words to what I said to change the meaning. Typical.

Quote from Hawk2007 : Another thing, what's laughable is that you're argument and the rest of the anti-campus CCW crowd is based 100% on pure emotion. The crazies that have shot up campuses would have done so with or without gun laws on the books. There is zero evidence CCW permit holders will pose more of a thread on campus. Also, you describe a fashion in which people can get their hands on unsecured firearms which is against one of the first tenants of being a good CCW holder (that you always keep your firearm in a secure place.)

Right, and you don't seem very in touch with how college campuses work. People are late to classes, accidentally leave their door unlocked, leave a key out, or something else. Fast pace, constant back and forth switching books and whatnot. It's easy to forget something for a class that you have to run back for, to leave your door unlocked, etc.. Just the normal pace alone, without partying makes it seem to me that at best CCW would be a distraction to prevent people from properly focusing on their coursework. One more thing they have to keep squared away and worry about.

Quote from Rebound : What does a fistfight turn into when somebody's got a gun? I don't think my children would be safer at frat parties if all the guys kept guns in their rooms.
