The incidence of gun violence would escalate. And you would run the risk that all the group on group conflicts you have at colleges would lead to gun standoffs rather than the yelling and name calling and occasional wrestling match. That's your statement of faith, John. History doesn't back you up. The "Gun-Free" nonsense at colleges now is a recent Liberal phenomenon, and I see no history of gun problems at colleges when you and I were students. I would bet that if you go back far enough and look, you will find a time when students had guns in their dorms for hunting, and no one thought anything of it. As I mentioned earlier, I had a license to carry at the time I attended San Diego State. Thought nothing of having my guns in my trunk. All of the additional rules and regulations governing students now are a combination of the "nanny state" by the School's Admin and the Schools Lawyers playing it safe. What's happened is that you Liberals have taken the guns out of the Colleges and increased the sex in. :>)
