Ken Stanton, SCCC's Virginia Tech Campus Leader, on CNN

CNN reports (without actually including any of the facts) on SCCC's efforts at Virginia Tech. SCCC Virginia Tech Campus Leader Ken Stanton is interviewed.

It would have been nice if the report had mentioned that SCCC advocates for concealed carry on campus by LICENSED individuals--age 21 and above, in most states--or if they'd allowed Ken to correct the VT administrator's comment about 18-year-old having guns on campus.

I would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

The logic of some of the anti's is just crazy. "I might've hit someone else, so it's better to let 30 people be murdered at point-blank range instead of trying" is in effect what the one guy was saying. Sounds pretty dumb to me.

All the critics rail on about irresponsible students carrying guns. They ignore faculty and staff who are extremely responsible but are forbidden to carry and protect themselves and others.

I don't understand why the media asks students that have no clue about the law or the facts get 2 people that know the facts and you will have your answer to the debate.

what about when someone is carrying and misinterprets a situation and misuses the weapon?

[ellul92]

Why carry a gun and live in fear? Unfortunately sometimes horrible things happen, it calls for stricter gun laws not for everybody to start carrying guns i seriously cannot believe people actually consider this!!!!!!!!!

Some people are saying that "we shouldn't have to worry about massacres on college campuses; we should work on dealing with anger management." I say most of us do quite well with anger management; but those who set out to kill others have no regard for us normal individuals who actually think using our brains. The last line of defense should be legalized carry on campus. If someone starts shooting on a violent rampage, those of us law abiding citizens should be able to defend ourselves.

0:10 a last line of defense? if some asshole starts shooting at me or others that'd be my FIRST line of defense...fucking CNN

this is how** anti-gun rights

[Budman345]

Agreed. It's sad how this sort've movement is sometimes put in a negative light. As if these guys are some crazy paranoid vigilantes or as the one woman stated "18 year olds". This is anti-gun rights people get their foot in the door though sadly. "If there were more laws that law-abiding citizens had to adhere too, criminals who donot follow laws will be hurt in the process." Their logic is extremely frustrating.
