Texas bill would allow guns at colleges
Officials at three Texas universities say they have serious concerns about a bill to let students carry guns on campus.
“As one faculty person told me, ‘Do you think I want to pass out those Fs and Ds with somebody in the classroom having a gun?’ ” state Rep. Lon Burnam, D-Fort Worth.
The bill, backed by the National Rifle Association, would be limited to students 21 and older, said the bill’s sponsor, state Rep. Joe Driver, R-Garland, who argues such a law would make campuses safer.
More than 70 Texas House members have signed on as co-sponsors to the bill, Driver said, noting 76 are needed to pass the legislation.
Next year, they’re gonna let ‘em have books.

Yea Texas! Let those poor college chums defend themselves. No one will dare pull a Virginia Tech if every student on the campus is armed.

Yeah Texas! Now EVERY student will, on the spur of the moment, have the capability to pull a Virginia Tech – especially when they’re drunk, drugged, sleep-deprived, depressed etcetera.
I, for one, look forward to seeing Darwin’s theory in live action in Texas.
Arming every berserk moron attending college in the State just makes pure common sense to me!
