    Love it.

    Fucking pussy Democrats tried to block it but failed.
    One old professor quit over this. Worried giving kid a bad grade could lead to him going to prof's office and shooting him. Dumbass, that could happen already. This gives him a legal right to mount one under his top desk drawer, legally.

    Making it perfectly legal for any loon to walk on campus with a gun makes no sense at all. We've had three campus shooting this week! You can't get into a state office building without an ID and going through a metal detector, so the legislators keep themselves safe. But they will allow any lunatic to take a gun on campus and encourage all the 18-year-olds to do the same. This is the stupidication of America.

    More guns will protect us from more guns. That argument is wearing thin. The gun lobby is loving it.

    a shootout in a classroom sounds like a bad idea.

    Leave it to Texas to pave the way for more school shootings. You would think the state with the original school shooting would know better.

    Yea, I mean. All they had to do was put up a sign that said, "No guns or murders".

    These "campus shootings" are not comparable in the same terms. Clearly Roseburg is the only mass shooting and why it is the center of the recent discourse on the topic of gun control.

    What happened at NAU was a drunken, 1AM fight involving fraternity members. Another fraternity issue involving alcohol. How shocking. As for Texas Southern.....there have actually been 3 shootings recently, either on or near campus. Of course the news reports them all as "campus shootings". The truth there is that TSU is in the Third Ward of Houston. In a report utilizing FBI crime data, the Third Ward ranks #15 in its list of the 25 most dangerous neighborhoods in the United States. The report stated that each resident, each year, has a 1 in 13 chance of being a victim of violent crime, and the violent crime rate was 75.89 out of 1,000. There are non-student people who live in university owned apartments. These shootings are more a reflection of the neighborhood and the poverty/social climate, than of actual campus/student activity.
