Comment on a colleague’s work

I really enjoyed reading my colleague's work entitled "Texas "campus carry" law". This is a great article and thank you for posting this. I have been thinking about the same for long time now. I know we all have different experiences with guns and each one of us has a different opinion about this Texas "campus carry" law. I may say it is good idea that students with guns could prevent some of the carnage inflicted by someone bent on killing on campuses but I disagree on the same when I think of the idea of young people, given the mental health issues and stress some people among the college demographic face, with weapons tucked under their coats.
It is a very dangerous proposition. I am worried that the presence of guns might impinge free speech by making some students too fearful to speak their minds in class. I feel that Campus carry, is forced on the campus by outsiders to make a political point. Overall, great commentary piece that I enjoyed to read, great work Berehanu!
