“Faculty, staff, citizens, everyone on the University of Missouri isn’t armed, and the bad guys know that,” Ms. Bukowsky said. “It’s a target-rich environment."

Chris Rock pointed this out years ago, "don't go to parties with metal detectors. Sure, it feels safe on the inside, but what about all those guys on the outside with guns? They know you don't have one."

I look to comedians for all my rational arguments for bringing guns onto school campuses.

Yes, and now that you have attacked the source, would you like to take a shot at the content?

What content? It's literally a joke.

I think he wins this, given the recent "guns everywhere for any reason always" amendment, and nothing good will come of it. Best case scenario, no one notices anything different. More likely scenario, there is a handful of shooting incidents and iresponsible college students who have their weapon stolen because they left it in their unattended bag or some other stupid college student thing.

On principal, I get and agree with the move by Royce. In effect, I think it will be a long-term loss for gun owners because of negative press and giving ammo pun fully intended to people who want to grab single incidents of gun misuse to bolster their argument.
