Following legalized campus carry, universities report no increase in violence on their campuses

In some instances, crime actually dropped

Though popular belief holds that more guns on college campuses will lead to an uptick in gun violence, several universities have reported no such increase even after their states legalized the carrying of concealed weapons on school grounds.

According to the website of Armed Campuses, a pro-gun-control initiative that tracks firearm policies at universities across the country, seven state legislatures have broadly permitted concealed carry on public university grounds. Five more have instituted limited campus carry regimes. Ten states prohibit campus carry altogether, while the remainder either allow the university to set the policy or else mandate that the guns must be left in locked cars.

But, but, how does that advance the agenda of common-sense gun control?

It's no great mystery.

Anyone who registers as a Democrat is too f##king stupid to be entrusted with a CCW.

They are only borderline human, and while they can pay to attend college, they should be restricted to humanities degrees, since these are useless hobbies, and they can not reasonably justify any fiscal benefit to our civilization.
