An Arizona Republican bill that would allow individuals with concealed carry weapon permits to bring their firearms onto college campuses passed an initial hurdle, though it’s all but certain the proposal won’t become law.

    Maybe if there was restricted access to certain things that kill people, there would be less need for police. Also there is a lot of funding in the us for police on campus, referred to as school resource officers. Unfortunately it just results in children being charged with felonies for acting out instead of protection.

    As someone trained with firearms and who spent time around people trained with firearms, I’m happy I live in a country where I no longer have the ability. I’m happy I don’t see guns every day in my life anymore. In fact I see less police and less crime in general since I left the us.

    Guns being out of my life has had a positive effect. I no longer hear people talk about shooting people over petty bullshit as “jokes”. I also don’t hear people defending firearms because “some people feel better”. I’m glad those people get to feel better, it really makes the death of children in 100s of school shootings worth it.
