I understand that the gun issue is tough. It’s tough because people make idiot arguments which support their side when there’s no real convincing evidence. Take this Tyler Figg from Purdue, for example. He claims to be a clinger and certified gun nut, but he doesn’t want guns on his campus. Here’s his reasons<\/a> for banning guns from his campus;<\/p>\n

A college campus is just no place for guns. There is too much stress, alcohol, hormonal imbalance and general insanity. There’s a saying that “guns don’t kill people; people kill people,” and that’s absolutely true. Do you know what there are a lot of around campus? People. People who could kill other people a lot easier if they have guns.<\/p>\n

Two shootings have occurred while I’ve been at Purdue. The first one happened when some guys jokingly pointed a loaded gun at a friend, and it went off accidentally. Another one happened when an argument outside a night club turned violent. Alcohol was involved both times. Would adding more guns into the mix have made these events turn out better?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It sounds to me that he’s making an argument to ban alcohol and not guns. “Too much stress, alcohol, hormonal imbalance and general insanity”. Or maybe we should ban college students from campuses. I suppose there’s no stress or hormonal imbalance off campus? Out here in the real world where I carry my handgun concealed.<\/p>\n

He also blames the fact that everyone wants to be a hero. Really? Then why aren’t college students lined up outside of the Marine Corps recruiting office? They don’t want to be a hero quite that much? I think young Tyler is much too immature to have a say in the discussion. His youth belies his inexperience and his inability to admit that people other than him are more responsibile when it comes to firearms.<\/p>\n
