(15,805 posts)It's a threadbare excuse. If you are actually trying to claim that students with CC guns have not yet engaged in mass killings, as if this is inconceivable in your thinking, that's a illogical as thinking you can win Russian Roulette. Thankfully such violent acts are not commonplace, but there are no guarantees that won't ever happen especially when having a gun readily at hand only makes it that much faster and easier to shoot someone. And once is one time too many.
With most of the students and faculty unarmed and justifiably intimidated and afraid by someone with a loaded gun in their midst, what do they see in these showboating CC kids with their CC guns? Someone who has an issue with immaturity, a bully, an insecure person with low self esteem, an unstable person of poor judgement who made the decision to bring a loaded weapon into a school, a place of learning, is the assumption that it was a personal gun show?
I'm certain that bringing CC guns into colleges are at least as harmful as carrying around a cobra, and the *empirical* evidence on both cobra venom and GSW is enough for any sane person to avoid them both.
