A year ago, we were all in front of our T.V sets watching and learning about a campus shooting in the middle of the campus of Virginia Tech. We later discovered that a young troubled man who was struggling with solitude and mental health had decided to take the lives of innocent people and his own.
At the time many questions were raised about the safety of students in campuses around the country and the rights for students to bear concealed weapons. Many universities including my own stepped up their training on how to handle such situation. Today the topics are still hot, we are still discussing it and yet still don't have any answers. Some students coalition asked for my support on campus this morning to support some State Legislation that will allow students to carry concealed weapons in class. This is not the solution you don't solve campus killings by bringing more weapons in. Their argument is that the gunmen in VA Tech or Northern Illinois University could have been stopped if a student was carrying a gun. I say more innocent people could have been killed if they had engaged into a shootout.
The solution is no gun at all and if you do, sell those guns sell to the right people, sane in their mind and body. The laws should be reviewed on how permits to own a gun are appropriated. My policy is gun control since you can't take away the right of every American citizen to own a gun.
Just don't let your kids know where they at, separate the guns from the ammunition. We've seen too many high school and college killings since Columbine.
Guns are meant for protection, use it as the last resort. It's no fun to kill. someone.
