6. because guns are bad and why do we have to arm everyone at universities because
this law would arm everyone! The blood will run in the dorm rooms!
Who is going to stop the toddlers with CHLs from taking guns to their classes? What about foreigners? Do you want foreigners packing heat? and 18 year olds are not trustworthy with guns in classes, ok.

What you will get is nothing but ignorant, emotional statements like, yeah, everyone in class should be armed. They have no arguments, and can only run on the hope that the people who hear about this law are ignorant of the details. I have not heard one argument yet that did not involve ignorance.

On the radio in El Paso I was listening to 104.3, the people who called in against CCW on campus came up with the arguments that 18 year olds can't be trusted with guns, people born in Juarez can't be trusted with guns on campus and that frat parties will end up in shoot outs. The minimum age for a CHL is 21, if someone is born in Juarez and can get a CHL they are just as trustworthy as anyone else with a CHL and frat parties occur off campus where no permit is needed to have a gun.
