You're entitled to you opinion. I'm trying to understand your reasoning.
How do you reconcile the idea of disarming the law abiding with the fact that criminals will ignore the law?
I'm not trying to pick a fight. I really want to know why you think the way you do.
I recently got into a facebook tiff with a friend of 30+ years over this same issue being debated in NH House for abolishing the carry restrictions on campuses there. This friend is a professor on one of the state campuses and was pushing a petition to urge the legislator to oppose the bill. I used the same logic, articulated it clearly, and all I got was emotional arguments on the level of “I prefer to work in an environment were no guns are allowed”. Pointing out that persons with criminal intent don’t care about the college’s administrative rules, and denying those who wish to protect themselves in instances like Virginia Tech and UofA is unconstitutional and opens the college to potential liability, etc, was all of no import to this liberal friend. All that mattered to her was the emotional factors of “feeling safe”. I finally had to un-friend her on facebook because she chose to assassinate my character rather than debate the unemotional facts. I concluded that these people believe they live in a ivory bubble that somehow is immune to the US constitution, as if the college is within the boundaries of a completely different country. Still love her as a friend as we go back to our teen years, but there is just no getting through the real belief that the laws of the land stop at the campus gates, and no one can interfere. I think she may be in for quite a shock.
