Re: "Students and guns: poor mixers," by Susan Sanders Wansbrough, Friday Letters. Wansbrough cites a Harvard School of Public Health study that indicates a high percentage of students are irresponsible, and then asks, "And our legislators want to let these people carry loaded firearms on campus?"

Of course leftists are only anti “everyone elses” self defense rights.

We middle class mouthbreathers are expendable, but not the superior class.
