Guns Allowed on College Campus? Seriously?

I remember when I first heard that guns were allowed on college campuses from a student at the University of Arizona.  At first I thought she was joking – afterall, how could mixing college parties, brawls, and guns be a good idea to anyone? But the Pro-Gun Movement in America is promoting legislation and litigation to force public colleges and universities to allow concealed guns on campus.

Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Kansa, Mississippi, Oregon, Utah, Texas, and Wisconsin have been forced to allow firearms on their campuses (classrooms, dorms, grounds, or parking lots). Worried about where your babies are going to college?  Check out this map that shows which colleges allow guns and various stipulations. 

How could this be happening?  It doesn’t take a genius to know that mixing drinking/drugs with guns is a bad idea. In the past, when college kids or frat brothers had disagreements, shouting matches or fistfights were the worst that could be expected, and the only people they could hurt were themselves.  Adding guns to that kind of volatile mix leads to COLLATERAL DAMAGE, and no one needs that.
