What sums my argument up is, the good of putting guns on campuses will not outweigh the bad.

The chances of some fucking prick getting a gun, getting drunk, and using it to show off or intimidate others is much higher. I'm not saying that will happen a lot but the chances are much greater than actually stopping a school shooting for various reasons. And, as I've said many times, campuses do a lot for protection so you do not need one if you use the resources they provide you.

Well done, sir.
There's no denying the truth of your remarks--it's happening already on and off campuses. The combination of new-found freedom from parental oversight, youthful inexperience in many things, alcohol, and the frequently overwhelming and overstimulating campus life is already an explosive mixture. To add more firearms to this would be a spark to a fire.
