Reply #28: That is not how all the students feel

[Starboard Tack]

"The bottom line is that even if someone passes a background check
and qualifies for a concealed carry permit (if their state requires one),
that person is not necessarily a law-abiding citizen. They could have a
substantial criminal record involving misdemeanor offenses, or a history
of mental illness. It is notable that campus shooters including Gang Lu,
Wayne Lo, Robert Flores, Biswanath Halder, Seung-Hui Cho, Latina Wil-
liams and Steven Kazmierczak passed background checks in acquiring
the firearms used in their attacks. Some possessed a concealed carry
permit in their home states; others would have qualified had they applied. Finally, individuals who are
prohibited under federal law from owning or purchasing firearms can still pass a background check (and
potentially qualify for a concealed carry permit) if their disqualifying records have not been transferred to
NICS."
