More Guns on Campus?

We have recently been hit with news stories about the recent shootings of Georgia women on college campuses, which put fear amongst us as students about our own safety in the place we study. Now we ask the question should students be allowed to carry guns for their own safety or do we need tighter control of guns on campuses?
Some college students are pushing for schools to allow them to carry guns on their campus, following the massacre at Virginia Tech where 32 students and faculty were fatally shot the feeling amongst some is that students should have the right to protect themselves if they are in such a situation. Nationwide, 38 states ban weapons at school, and 16 of these specifically ban guns on college campuses, in fact Utah is the only state that specifically allows people to carry concealed weapons on public colleges.
However many believe that allowing students the right to use weapons in defense will not mean that they are going to use them safely, or train them to use them responsibly.
