I think it's a priviledge to own a firearm. I believe every American who is mentally stable and who can pass a background check and pass a gun course should have that right. Yes, there are those out there who should NEVER come within 50 yards of a gun but these days if you want to survive the cruel, cruel world you best get with the program. I am in favor of college students arming themselves and protecting their lives. Now had the student body been armed in Virginia and there in Chicago it would have ended much differently. The shooter was in plain sight yet no one had a gun to bust a cap. They were unfortunately "sitting ducks" I have been thinking about taking some computer classes over at the Univeristy of Maryland and let me say right here and now I will be packing. I have a small gun that fits just perfectly around my ankle and if something like that happens while in class or on campus I won't have any problems taking him down!
