In reply to the discussion: "Guns on Campus: A Chilling Effect" by Kenneth M. Mash (NEA, Thought & Action) [View all]Starboard Tack
(11,181 posts)18. I always love it when men use female vulnerability to justify carrying guns around.
If that were truly the case, I wouldn't have much of a problem with it, but it isn't. I seriously doubt that more than a handful of female college students have CCW permits, or even own handguns. I have 2 daughters who have attended colleges throughout the US. I've asked them and many of their friends, including one from Virginia Tech who was there on that fateful day, about this issue. None are in favor of CC in general, or guns on campus.
All graduated with excellent grades, without being raped or living in fear.

OP
So, based on your argument, guns in class make it a safer environment for learning and discussion?

No but makes for a safer environment for going across campus in the middle of the night.

It is the same one who claimed a bicycle tire was a acceptable defensive item.
