Samantha Johnson is the author of the Blog “Deep in the Heart of Texas.” Her recent post, legalizing guns on university campuses, is a very interesting criticism of the "guns on campus" bill. She provided the facts that she wanted to criticize in her work right at the beginning which made it a lot easier to follow her writing .
She took a clear position on the subject and backed her opinion with plenty of evidence. The author herself is a college student. I believe this makes her opinion valuable. She expressed her concern that the stress of student life plus a licensed concealed handgun is a recipe for more violence. I agree with her, I don’t like the idea of sitting by a classmate who is carrying a gun. Allowing gun on campuses not only would not provide greater safety, it would cause greater security issues.
This current Bill did not get passed, but at a great cost. It is unfortunate that Senator Wentworth desperate attempt to pass this bill in the Texas Legislature killed a potentially prosperous bill . This clearly is not what neither students nor instructors want.
