Keep Guns Out of Texas Schools

After looking around for something to write about, I came across this blog by Katherine Haenschen about how the Committee on Public Safety in the Texas House are considering passing a bill that would legally allow people to carry weapons inside Texas college classroom. She writes about how the bill is up for a hearing today, which if pass, will make it legal for anyone to have on campus. She then lists several ways to prevent this like contacting the committee members and joining fellow Texans at the capital to oppose the bill.

I would have to agree with Katherine Haenschen on this because the idea of having weapons on school ground is just crazy. There are probably a few places where guns would be acceptable but school is definitely a place where weapons should never be allow to even come close to school ground. Who knows if one day we might have some crazy suicidal massacre like at Virginia Tech, where a student killed about 32 people and injuring many before committing suicide. I really hope this bill doesn't pass because school is probably one of the few places where some students, like me, feel safe going to and if for some odd reason the bill does end up passing, then I know that there will be few students out there that will feel really uncomfortable going to school. Besides the only thing that a student should really be carrying are their homework and textbooks.
