Reply #59: That's a remarkable, and quite revealing, statement

It's not about how many people have been shot. It's about contaminating colleges with guns.

I've increasingly been coming across statements to this effect on this forum: that permitting licensed carry on campus will "degreade," "demean" and "contaminate" higher education. When you say "It's not about how many people have been shot," that's a very strong indication that you've tacitly conceded the public safety argument, and indeed, any argument that involves objective measurements. All you've got left is that you find the idea of campus carry subjectively distasteful. And that's just not a good enough reason to deprive people of their personal freedoms.
