text: I can see why you would disagree with me but not why you would be baffled by what I said.  The very clear implication made by your argument is that guns should be allowed on campus because there is a need for them to be on campus to protect the innocent children and such from what?  The "Gangbangers and criminals" as you so eloquently stated.  If those "gangbangers and criminals" aren't hanging out on campus, then why then need for the legislated proliferation?  are you saying that UA campuses are laden with these criminal types?  That certainly has not been my experience. I won't bother to discuss why gangbanger might be considered a racially charged term.  If you would like to play coy with race go right ahead but don't expect people not to call you out on it.
