Why should I tell you that? Why should a college deprive low-income students the opportunity to defend themselves just because they are poor? Since the overwhelming majority of crime on campus (70,000 rapes; 600,000+ sexual assaults annually) are committed by student criminals themselves, why shouldn't a college take responsibility for ensuring that female students can protect themselves from students with guns.
This is not a question of individual safety, whereby individuals' rights to carry are the issue. The issue is campus safety, collective safety, for everyone. And if a few guns can stop some crimes, certainly universal and required gun carrying on campus would stop many, many more. |
