Really good question I think. I attended a school that had a shooting that resulted in a death shortly before I got there. I didn't find out about it until after I was registered and I probably would have made a different choice had I known sooner. There wasn't another incident since, if fact the next incident in the same state was V-Tech.

The question is broad pertaining to students since theoretically, most juniors and seniors can legally carry handguns. Lets face it, all of us here enjoy our right to free speech so I cannot be hypocritical and deny the right of another.

I do however think that private campuses would serve themselves well to ban dangerous weapons on campus but public schools with open campuses will violate the constitutional rights of its students and faculty if they were to institute a ban. However I am all for banning dangerous weapons in buildings on public campuses. Outside of that, a ban will reduce future incidences but at the expense of violating a constitutional right.
