Larry Davis - if what you are saying is what you believe to be true, then why would the guns be needed on campus?  I am guessing that that your logic would also lead you to believe that these "Gang bangers and criminals" are not intelligent enough to be seeking a college degree in the first place, so why do we need to protect ourselves from people that are unlikely to be on the campus in the first place?  I know! Maybe they are on campus selling drugs to those "Law abiding Alaskans"! These are definitely the types of people I want carrying on campus...  Sarcasm obviously.  Please consider not diminishing a discussion to such obvious and racially charged stereotypes.  It doesn't further the debate.
