(15,333 posts)That is the very definition of a strawman argument.
Even if some fool, somewhere, had erroneously claimed that self defense
was "as easy as simply carrying a gun" (a notion that I already took up against in
post #141), that would still not somehow invalidate anyone else's carrying
a concealed firearm legally on a college campus.
BTW: if it makes you feel any better,
I devoutly believe that no one who thinks of a guns as magic talisman ought to
own one, much less carry one in public. But these aren't the people we've been
talking about- Texas has rather strict licensing requirements, and their licensees are remarkably
law abiding as has been demonstrated by verfiable statisics to you more than once
Whether you approve of the practice is neither here nor there, because (as Thomas
Jefferson put it) "it neither steals your purse nor breaks your leg".
True- but irrelevant. Statistics also show that there is a non-zero chance that students
may be robbed/mugged, raped, fondled, or assaulted.
