Therefore, allowing concealed weapons on a college campus would be a grave mistake with deadly consequences. College’s should not allow students to carry concealed firearms because the presence of deadly weapons only increased the likelihood that there is an incident of violence. On nearly…
For instance, Fiske reports, a former Navy SEAL does not think the students will be safe having guns on campus. Therefore, by keeping guns off campus will not guarantee safety for students. Thirdly, it also affects the academics. To illustrate, Fiske tells a neuroscience professor Max Snodderly, that it is an “encroachment on academic freedom.” Hence, keeping guns away from school affects not only safety but also academics. For all these reasons, the new Texas gun law is receiving…
This belief, however, is disproved by evidence. If guns are made illegal to own, law-abiding citizens will then turn in their guns. However, those who wish to do harm with their guns would keep their guns illegally. Therefore, these laws not only take guns away from responsible citizens, but give those who wish to keep their guns an unfair advantage if they were to attack another person (ProCon.org). Gun control laws are ineffective and should not be in present in today’s society.…
Ultimately, if someone truly plans to do wrong with a firearm, they will ignore the law. Why should other students be left defenseless? The person that is going to commit a crime does not obey the law. On the other hand, the student that spends the time to go through a legal process to carry a firearm on campus, is then highly unlikely to then commit a crime. Every person has the right to defend themselves from those committing wrong.…
I personally would never support this rule. I do not agree with the concealed carry of handguns in schools or campuses. I feel that it is a holy place where we learn, where we grow and where we have the safest environment. So what 's the point of carrying guns in concealed way? I really don 't think that students who come to schools would have such a criminal thinking of killing someone.…
There are measures of protection that are implemented in every school to ensure the well-being and security of every student on campus. Allowing students to bring guns to school would defeat this purpose and promote violence. As a result of the negative impact guns can have on a college campus, they should not be permitted because it can lead to devastating events risking the…
Allowing students to have a concealed carry permit will only create more possible violence on college and university campuses, therefore this should not be allowed. The people that are for the right to have concealed handguns on campus argue many good points. They say that permitting guns on campuses would allow students to defend themselves from anything that will harm them, making people think…
That may not be the wisest solution. “Opponents say more guns on campus could increase isolated acts of violence. They are also concerned that first responders might not be able to identify the attacker.” When people are shooting at each other there is no way of knowing who started it and whose intentions are noble. Having weapons on campus is also a liability issue. If a student’s intent on hurting people they would know who would have a gun and how to get it.…
Viewpoints on Concealed Weapons on College Campuses There has been controversial debate on allowing students access to concealed weapons on college campuses, will it be safer or not. There’s three articles that talks about their viewpoints on concealed weapons and giving their opinions to why students should or should not be allowed to carry guns on college campuses. Dean Dickerson and University Chancellor Mcraven talk about the protection of students and the concerns of potentially increasing violence on college campuses, while Students for Concealed Carry on Campuses (SCCC) argues that carrying concealed guns can make college campuses safer. From the article “Students Should Not Be Allowed to Carry Guns on College Campuses,” author Dickerson viewpoints are not in favor of guns on campuses because of the…
“If concealed carry were allowed on America’s campuses, there is no doubt that many students would feel uncomfortable about not knowing whether their professors and/ or fellow students [are] carrying handguns” (Students for Concealed 643). Since there is a possibility that a gun is present, students will keep their ideas about sensitive topics to themselves. As a result, University debates that touch sensitive topics will make people nervous and make discussions short and uninteresting. The majority of civilians when asked about their opinions of guns coming into college campus did not want that to happen. There might also be a possibility that a gun accidentally discharges; “concealed [guns] beneath the clothing and within the handbags” can wound an acquaintance or friend.…
