Would Allowing Students to Carry Weapons Make College Campuses Safer?

America has become haunted by the specter of deadly school shootings. As we all work to prevent further tragedy, some are advocating allowing students to carry concealed firearms as a means of defense. But would such measures really make college campuses safer?

    Brady Campaign Lies

    So Brady...

    At ALL 9 Public Universities in Utah, as well as Colorado State University and Blue Ridge Community College in Virginia there has NEVER been a gun theft on campus. And as you know, all of these places currently allow LICENSED students to carry on campus.

    These 21+ year olds are not the students living in dorms, or on campus.. Most Universities wont allow students that have over 60 hours (19-20 years old) to live on campus.

    It's not "increasing gun ownership", these students are ALREADY licensed to carry virtually EVERYWHERE else. They already have the licenses, and they already have the firearms (and there havent been any problems).


    When will the Brady Campaign stop the LIES ???
