Big Guns on Campus (parking lots)


     Reading over Tamera’s post the “Senate Bill 1907,” I would have to completely agree with her.  Along with agreeing with her position, I also think she did a really nice job of structuring her post.  Tamera gave a little background on what’s currently required for someone to get their concealed handgun license, gave a general description of the bill, showed what the Legislatures position was, and then posted her own opinion.  Her information was sweet and to the point.  She didn't add a whole lot of fluff and the post kept my attention.
     When reading her post, I thought it was interesting that the Legislature thought we should wait on passing gun legislation in wake of the Sandy Hook shooting.   If anything, this is a perfect example of why we need to put a bill like this into effect.  People that have earned the right, and have met the requirements to carry, should be allowed to carry a weapon where ever they please.  They are not the ones committing the crimes; they’ll be the ones who will stop things like the Sandy Hook shootings from happening.  Trying to rid the world of guns isn't going to fix anything.  Legislation only works on law abiding citizens, not criminals, they don’t follow laws, hence the title “criminal.”  This only removes weapons from the people trying to defend themselves, leaving them helpless and vulnerable to attacks.  It’s like the war on drugs, there’s never going to be an end to it.
