Texas seems to believe the answer to crime and gun violence is more guns on the street.
I recently read an article about how Texas is in the process of passing a bill for it to be legal for students to carry concealed weapons with them on college campuses to “protect themselves.”
This bill would only apply to public universities. Private universities would be able to enforce their own rules.

A lot of students, faculty and visitors on the UT Austin campus on August first 1966 would probably disagree with this opinion. Its was from these ranks armed individuals took Charles Whitman under fire preventing his having a "turkey shoot" until police could respond. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
