State lawmakers have introduced legislation to allow the concealed carry of guns on campus for the third consecutive year. Senator Plakon filed a bill for the 2017 legislature that would repeal the current ban on concealed weapons at state colleges and universities. Like years prior, students from both sides of the argument are playing a key role as the legislative session draws near.

All of the noise in opposition ignores two irrefutable facts:
1) No law will keep bad actors from carrying guns into any venue and committing violent felonies. Only people who are not so inclined are therefore affected, and negatively.
2) There is no evidence whatsoever from any of the eight states that allow unencumbered, licensed carry on college campuses that any of the dire prognistications perpetually invoked by opponents have happened. NONE.
The legislature should focus on these two facts, ignore the nonsensical noise of anti-liberty opponents, and pass this bill. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
