And how do you prevent the campus from turning into old wild west? You got a beef with someone, you call out for a gun duel !
I am not against people carrying guns, but there should be some check to determine the sanity of the person - ensure that the person is going to be responsible with the gun. Even if everyone carries a gun, an insane person with a gun will probably kill a few before being dropped dead. And even a few human lives is very costly.
Top 100 most dangerous communities list just came out. Know how many were from the "Wild West?"
ZERO.
How much violence accompanied the "Occupy" protests here, which were attended by legally armed citizens?
NONE.
You cannot ever hope to control the actions of another, only yourself. Hoping the State control the actions of another person is naive folly.
In Arizona there is no permit whatsoever required to carry a weapon any way the citizen desires. If this causes so much crime, where are the Arizona communities on the aforementioned list?
http://www.neighborhoodscout.com/neighborhoods/crime-rates/top100dangerous/Please provide the statistics of a state where the rate of violent crime has increased after making their weapons laws more closely match the intent of the Framers? I eagerly await your answer.
43 out of the 100 communities in that list are from may-issue or no-issue states. Not one was from a state with Constitutional Carry.
Only 14 states out of 50 (28%) comprised 43% of the communities on that list. Icanhazoverrepresentation?
Every single Campus Carry law ever proposed is restricted to CCW holders ONLY (that's how SCC rolls). That means over 21, trained and background checked. Ever seen the crime statistics of CCW holders vs. the general population? 5.7 times less likely to be convicted of a violent crime and 13.5 times less likely to be convicted of a non-violent offense. Now why is it we want to make criminals of these people?
There are already campuses where carry is legal and your hoplophobic fantasies have never been realized. As a matter of fact, there has never been a mass shooting at any of these campuses.
