"Law enforcement arrived at Florida State University’s packed library within three minutes of receiving calls that a man with a gun had opened fire."
"But some gun rights advocates think that wasn’t soon enough."
"The shooting, which left three people injured before police killed the assailant, has become the go-to anecdote for proponents who want to change state law and allow people with concealed weapon permits to bring their guns on college campuses. They argue it’s a safety issue for students at FSU and beyond." ... |

The FSU Student Govt's position is unsupportable.
Contrary to their assertion, the lack of the anticipated epidemic of violence is prima facie evidence that campus CCW works as advertised.
I say that because if I challenge them to identify ONE prognostication that has actually occurred on campuses in the seven states that allow for lawful CCW at colleges, they will not be able to cite a single incident.
Not ONE.
Because there aren't any.

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
