Guns on campus

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) By Jim Vertuno-- John Woods, sometimes sits in a classroom at the University of Texas and wonders what would happen if somebody walked in and started shooting.
In April of 2007, he was a student at Virginia Tech when his girlfriend and several other people he knew, were gunned down in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. Thirty-two people died, plus the gunman.
There were times when Woods thought that maybe he should get a gun.
"Then I learned pretty fast that wouldn't solve anything," said Woods, who is now a graduate student at UT. "The idea that somebody could stop a school shooting with a gun is impossible. It's reactive, not preventative."
The article talks more for those who want the bill to pass than the ones who are aginst it. I feel the author is leaning more towards the bill in favor of the gun control law of students packing guns on campus, and I am against it. Just like how Woods said "The idea that somebody could stop a school shooting with a gun is impossible. It's reactive, not preventative."
In my opinion, not all students have the knowledge of shooting. It is very dangerous for an unprofassional shooter, who turns out to be a college student, to carry a gun in the classroom, since many students are bussy with thier college life, they do not have the time to take professional shooting classes. Therefore, passing the bill for carrying a gun in college is not a wise idea. Students could misshoot another classmate by not knowing how to use the weapon properly. There should be more and more students like Woods among the leaders to fight against bills in the Texas Legislature that would allow licensed concealed gun carriers to take their weapons to school. After all this isn't the wild wild west anymore.
