I am a student at the U of U and think this whole debate is simply ridiculous. Putting a ban on guns on a school campus is like asking all robbers to stay away from banks. If someone with ill intent is going to use a gun on a campus, I guarantee that they are not going to swing by the admissions office, thumb through the student manual to see if guns are allowed on campus. History and current events have taught us what we need to know, BANNING GUNS solves nothing, it only ensures that those who really would use a gun on another human being, that they don't need to worry about being shot by the good law abiding citizen. Google search how the Australian people feel about having guns banned in the country, how they can no longer defend themselves. That the "bad" people don't worry themselves with suggestion/rule/law that would inhibit them from having a gun.

Yea, thou I walk through the valley of the shaddow of death, I will fear no evil, because I have a concealed weapons permit and my "piece" will protect me (and others). Aim small, miss small.
