The 2nd Amendment:

   …the right of the people to keep and bear arms
    shall not be infringed.
   Firearms should be allowed on college
    campuses because current gun bans only stop
    people with good intentions and they
    disregard the second amendment.
Problem
A majority of states do not allow people with
concealed weapon permits to carry firearms on
campus.

                   Solution
Every campus needs to afford those with a
concealed weapon permit the ability to defend
themselves while on campus.
   I have no intention of ever bringing a gun to
    school.
   This is about people be denied their rights.
   If any other freedom were to be restricted there
    would be no tolerance for it.

   This is no different. It concerns a freedom in
    the bill of rights that is being hampered and it
    can’t be allowed.
   Banning guns from campuses disarms the
    lawful citizens.
       23 campus shootings since 2000. (Wikipedia)


   The 2nd Amendment. (Bill of Rights)

   More than 200 campuses in 6 states are
    allowing students with permits to carry
    handguns. (concealedcampus.org)
       There have been no shootings at any of these
        campuses.
   Through legislation, decriminalize carrying a
    concealed weapon on a college campus for all
    those with a permit.
       In every state.
   This would be done easiest through the
    Supreme Court.
   Knowing that college campuses aren’t less safe
    when concealed weapon permit holders are
    allowed to carry.
   Peace of mind that comes with knowing
    constitutional rights are not being denied.
   If it ever comes to a national vote, vote in favor
    of allowing concealed weapon permit holders
    to carry on campuses.
