A group of 8,000 students propose a plan that students and teachers should be allowed to bring a gun to college campuses. This plan was created in the wake of the Virginia Tech shooting, where 32 people were shot dead. If students and teachers are allowed to carry a weapon, then they could easily defend themselves from the gunman.
I believe that this is a terrible idea. Allowing students to carry a gun to school can end in a disaster. Here are some scenarios that can happen on campus if a student is allowed to bring a gun to school.
A female and a male student are in a relationship. They both go to the same school. The female student "dumps" the male student. The angry male student, who is carrying a gun and is allowed to, may decide to take his anger out or get revenge, and shoot the female student and couple of other innocent students.
Another scenario that can happen on campus is a student that is facing academic and social pressure or problems. The student may be experimenting with drugs and alcohol. When a student is drunk or high on drugs, the student may not be thinking straight. He may pull out his gun and start shooting people. In school campus everyone is living in close quarters, which means a gunman can easily hunt down a lot of students in one area.
These scenarios are things that can possibly happen if students are allowed to bring guns on campus. Imagine there is a gunman in campus. A gunman enters the campus and start shooting people. People who do have guns take out their guns and start shooting at the gunman. At the mist of the gunfight confusion erupts. Distinguishing the good guys from the bad guy becomes impossible. Then a wild shootout begins because one guy with the gun thinks that the other guy with the gun is the shooter. It is like every man for them self. When the police come they will start shooting students that do have a gun. They can accidentally shoot the wrong person or the student that was just defending himself.
In the other hand I believe that some professors should be allowed to carry a gun. Professors tend to be more stable and are less likely to start a school shooting. They can provide safety for the class and others in the area. They can end the guns men reign of terror before it starts.
Besides if a student becomes uncooperative in class, the professor can hold him at gun point, then he will become cooperative.
