How to combat campus killers
A few days ago, after the Northern Illinois University murders, I suggested that trained, licensed gun owners be allowed to bring guns to school to protect themselves and others.One of my favorite columnists, Doug Giles also supports conceal carry on campus. Giles writes:
“The mass murderers among us have taken quite the shinin’ to shooting up our students at their schools. The principal reason is that it’s so easy for them to carry out their death wishes because university officials will not allow good guys with guns to carry in class and be an onsite deterrent to death-dealing dillweeds.
Hey, “all wise” college presidents and other admin wizards: Until you allow guns—real guns, guns that go bang and kill bad guys—you (to make it personal), your faculty and the students you’re responsible for will continue to be sitting ducks, potential fleshy sponges to soak up the hot lead from some pathetic loser’s happy trigger finger. The gun free stuff ain’t working.”
Giles is absolutely right when he says the current climate on campuses will only mean that what occurred at NIU will happen again and again and again.
