I should spend my life in a hole because being surrounded by armed students would make me uncomfortable? It isn’t your typical permit-holding gun carrier that would make me uncomfortable. It’s the random idiots who would carry his/her gun to class bnecause he/she LOVE GUNS. Don’t act like those people don’t exist and aren’t plentiful. Should we be able to carry guns into stadiums too? I’m not an advocate of gun-conrol but I don’t think the solution to this problem is to allow students to take guns into classrooms. Faculty? Sure. I know way too many people who I wouldn’t want carrying a gun on campus.

Let's break your statement down:

1.) I’m not an advocate of gun-control
2.) I don’t think the solution to this problem is to allow students to take guns into classrooms.

You do understand that those are mutually exclusive thoughts, right?

Ditto. I think having students carry guns into classrooms would be a really bad idea.

If you don't mind me asking, just how old are you? I think the naivety index normally wears off around 30...

So you support the idea of permit holders being allowed to carry on-campus then? Yes or no?

It’s the random idiots who would carry his/her gun to class bnecause he/she LOVE GUNS. Don’t act like those people don’t exist and aren’t plentiful.
So what? If they can legally own a gun, meaning they are NOT A CRIMINAL, why can't they carry it to protect themselves and people like you?

Should we be able to carry guns into stadiums too?
Why not? Criminals or terrorists sure will. As long as the carriers obey the law (no alcohol etc.) this is not a problem.

I’m not an advocate of gun-conrol
YES, you most certainly ARE! Your statements, both above and below, confirm it beyond any shadow of a doubt. Thinking like yours helps bring about events like Columbine, 9/11, and today's tragedy.

but I don’t think the solution to this problem is to allow students to take guns into classrooms. Faculty? Sure. I know way too many people who I wouldn’t want carrying a gun on campus.
A RIGHT is for everyone, not just a chosen few or "the ones you want." Gun control is gun control.
