If we allow guns on college campuses, will deter or increase the overall crime at a particular university? There have been a number of college campuses shooting. For example, there is the well known campus shooting at Virginia Tech University leaving 33 dead in 2007. Also at Northern Illinois University where there  was a shooting leaving five dead as well as the University of Arizona shooting with four dead accounting to "Ready,Fire, Aim; The College Campus Gun Fight." But there is one problem to these shootings, all of these crimes have happened in states that are against guns on college campuses according to "armed campuses." States like Utah, Colorado, and Idaho are state that allow you to carry concealed firearms on college campus and have seen no shootings on campus. This is not just about college shooting this is also about the safe of are students at these University's. Students walk the streets at all kinds of hours of the day when we included the night school classes. Some people walk to their cars and some are force to walk home because the university campus shuttle shut down for the day. Women and men are force to walk defenseless with out a firearm even if they have obtain a concealed weapons permit. Every year students don't report beating and rapes because they are afraid and scared. Someone who know this first hand is Amanda Collins. In Amanda Collins Testimony she tells a her story of being raped on a college campuses in a parking garage in from of a police building but couldn't do anything but lay there helpless and could not defend herself, even know she had a concealed weapons permit. She was abiding by the college rules and didn't want to get expelled. In her defense she paid the ultimate price for something that could be easily fixed. She uses a first person experience to advocate for guns on college campuses. She prospective on this issues may be biased because of her immediate involvement with the subject topic at hand. She also leave you with the fact of what if. If she had her gun she may have been able to stop you attacker but also could have stopped a future attack. In the article "Ready, Fire, Aim; The College Campus Gun Fight," by Robert Birnbaum's, he suggest that there are two different prospective on the topic of guns on college campuses. "MoreGuns" is Robert Birnbaum's first opinion on the fight on guns on campus. They are for increasing the number of people with trained fire arm experience on college campuses. "MoreGuns" views that the more guns you have the more secure a individual person will have in self-defense. "MoreGuns advocates argue that college students and faculty should be able to carry weapons for their own protection, particularly since history has shown that colleges can't protect them from assailants." I agree to this argument but Robert Birnbaum's other position is called "BanGuns," This group want to banned all guns from college campuses. Claiming that have more guns on campus can cause more violence and harm to students. One report in Robert Birnbaum's article by American Association of State College and Universities in 2008. "Gun rights advocates argue that easing gun restrictions for both individual and collective security on campus and made the tear violence. In contrast, the vast majority of college administrators, law-enforcement personnel and students maintain that allowing conceal weapons on campus will pose increase risk for students and faculty, will not get your future attacks and will lead to confusion during emergency situations." Getting away from Robert Birnbaum's article, there is another situation at hand. Some people me state that it is on constitutional. Where it states clearly in the declaration of independence that I was a United States citizen we are given "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"and are second amendment states "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed," According to "heritage.com." So it raises the question are you banding me from my pursuit of happiness and are you violating my second amendment by not allowing me to bear arms. College campuses are restricting students from protecting themselves in a world that is changing everyday and is leaving people more sub-septa-bull to go to violent attacks on college campuses. So the real question is, Will guns keep the arbitrator out and the defenseless students safe?
