Any student who has a concealed weapons permit should be able to carry his gun on campus as well. The VA-Tech massacre would not have happened if a few of the students had guns. He would have been able to kill one or two students, but not 33.</p><p>When a student like the one at VA-Tech decides to start shooting people, the rest of the students are completely defenseless. It would save lives if students were able to fight back, and it may even act as a deterrent to future gunmen.</p><p>Crazed students don&#8217;t think twice about planning a massacre at a school, because they know that no one will be able to defend themselves. They might reconsider if they knew that others will be armed as well.</p><p>These days, I would carry a concealed gun on campus regardless of what the law says. The only thing gun control laws do is prevent good people from protecting themselves. Criminals are always gonna have guns, so it&#8217;s best that both sides are armed.</p><p><em>-Chris Jones</em></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2007/11/21/student-group-fights-to-carry-guns-on-campus/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <!-- google_ad_section_end --></channel> </rss>
