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?

Flawed study
The study that the BC keeps referencing is flawed. I read the study and it asks if the participant has a working gun on campus (illegal in most cases) and also does other illegal things (drugs etc.). Well duh! I'm sure if they aren't listening to the no guns policy, they probably don't care about the law and therefore won't care about breaking others. I'm also going to make the generalization that if someone cares less about the law they are probably more likely to show violence toward their fellow man (and woman). So I don't think that going from a yes answer to the question "do you have an illegal gun ON campus" should be quoted as "gun owners". Don't twist the facts.
