OPINION: Mason's weapons policies favor criminals, endanger law-abiding students and staff
|
Students at Mason are probably well aware of the gun ban on campus and in housing, and due to the lack of outrage, it seems that students don’t mind a temporary suspension of their rights in the name of safety. Students may be “ok” with not being allowed to have a gun on campus, but where does it end? What other self-defense tools are not permitted on campus?
Emergency situations can pop up anywhere, anytime. Law can only deter violence and police can only react to it.
