Despite their seeming frequency in recent years, shooting rampages on college campus do not occur on a regular or daily basis. What does occur on a daily basis is the interaction between students and faculty. Bringing guns into this equation is unwise in the extreme. Fear of random attack from a single deranged student is one thing, and a dormitory full of potential gun-owners is entirely another. The knowledge that a disturbed classmate or a creepy professor may have a gun in his or her desk would completely contort relationships—everything would be tinged with a faint...
...their lives, study and grow without worrying about the peril of the outside world. Guns on campus, however, bring that very danger into the midst of a student’s living environment. In the aftermath of great terror like the Virginia Tech massacre, not only is heightened fear expected, but so too is the potential for hatred and vigilante retribution.

My fear is that this will be for naught," Helen Pfluger says. "But any way you look at it the kids get hurt." Meanwhile, the FLDS, usually a closed community, has embarked on a media campaign featuring the grief-stricken mothers along with photographs, taken by the group, of armed Texas officers at the ranch. As of yet, no one has been charged with abuse as the TDPS tries to unravel...
