13. How will this make gun violence easier?

May 2013

You honestly think this bill will make it easier for someone to commit gun violence?
Washington State colleges have allowed concealed carry for years, no violence there from those that have carried weapons?
Colorado State colleges have allowed it for a few years also, where's the violence from those that carry?

Someone bent on committing violence on college campus' are not going to care if there is a law allowing or banning the storage of firearms in their vehicles.

BTW, I didn't say that you were hating on Texas, I never got that from your comment.
