Pair of bills in Arizona allows college students and professors to bring guns into classrooms

[trayNTP]

Face it, Republicans *WANT* more incidents to occur. That's my belief, based on their positions, and I'm going to keep saying it.

How long before some "seemingly normal" student gets pissed off at a Professor who gave him a D, or who's "been riding" him, and decides to unload on him and other witnesses?

But others will be packing as well, Conservative logic says. So, now we have a shootout in a classroom? Food fights still aren't allowed, but gun fights are okay?

10. Eh. It wasn't that long ago when a gun a school campus wasn't a big deal.

I'm only 40 and one of the high schools I attended had an indoor shooting range - and marksmanship classes. The banning of guns everywhere doesn't make anyone safer. In fact, I am fairly certain that the case could be made that the kneejerk bans make us demonstrably less safe.

11. I sure hope that was a private school then...

Because it strikes me as a gross waste of finanical/phsyical resources that could have been spent on more productive areas.

12. It was private. But if it wasn't, so what?

There's more to life and education than standardized tests.
