[Constitutionalist Conservative]

Or maybe they just don’t want guns on campus.

So are they just emoting here, or is there a rational explanation for this sentiment?

[Jedidah]

I don’t know.

But I do know A&M and I do know Aggies — lots of experience there.

They’re a smart and fun-loving and practical and conservative lot, and they don’t suffer fools gladly, although on a campus that large there will certainly be fools.

Many of the Ags I know are gun toters (or at least gun rights supporters) and solidly conservative.

My best guess is that they’d rather take their chances with one evil shooter than to have to duck well-meaning crossfire.
