Man who sold gun to Va Tech Shooter Speaks there in favor of guns on campus

Well, then there should be STRONG incentives for females to carry guns on campus (maybe a break on tuition?), and for the school to provide the training and underwrite the costs for females so that they can exercise their INDIVIDUAL rights. The vast overwhelming of crimes by student felons are committed against females, and so the university has a responsibility to make sure they can protect themselves.

<p>Why should the state (or university) be responsible for the individual?.. once again, the state is not responsible for ensuring that people exercise their rights - it is only responsible for protecting those rights. People may exercise them (or not) as they wish. </p>

<p>

If your concern really is campus safety (rather than some abstract concept about guns), you would show that concern by looking at ways to curb the acts of student felons. But I don’t believe you care in the least about student safety - if you did, you’d be looking toward measures that would increase overall campus security, not creating a subclass with more power than another.

<p>There is no “subclass” if the right is allowed to be exercised equally (by anyone who meets the requirements of age, criminal history, etc.). The word “subclass” implies something that is forced on people. Stop twisting words.
It is you who wants to create a “subclass” of locations (i.e. college campuses) where people cannot use the same means of self-protection that they can elsewhere.</p>
