Bill -

If that's so, then we deserve much praise for doing it.

Make love, not war, as we used to say in the sixties.

On my prediction of the increased likelihood that campus group on group violence would include guns and your reply that it had not in the 50s and 60s, I don't recall anyone on campus with guns then. No doubt there were some but after the University of Texas incident in 1966, campuses recognized they were going to have to do something.

Moreover, Bill, that's a different student culture, political culture, what not. I fear what would happen if students were permitted not only to have guns on campus, but, as you are arguing, to carry guns on campus. Hopefully, that won't happen.

That's not a statement of faith; it's an educated prediction.

What's happened is that you Liberals have taken the guns out of the Colleges and increased the sex in. :>)

Hmm, I gather you had certain problems in college. I don't recall an absence of sex. ;-)
