Allowing More Guns Won’t Make Campuses Safer

Just eight days after a gunman massacred nine people at a community college in Oregon, two more students were killed in separate shootings on college campuses in Texas and Arizona. In many parts of the country, the shootings prompted a call to arm students and faculty. Only in America do we respond to shootings by claiming a need for more guns. Arming college campuses will do little to reduce mass attacks and will likely lead to more shooting deaths. There are already 300 million civilian firearms in the United States. That's more than one for every adult. At what point do Americans say enough is enough?
