Speaking as a university professor of about 35 years, I don't want
students in my classes to have guns. There have been several instances
of disturbed students who have obtained a gun and threatened me and
other faculty with being shot. We call the FBI who come quickly. So
far none of the faculty in my department have been shot or killed by a
student.
On the other hand, my students study engineering and they tell me that
engineering students don't go to Cancun during spring break for wet
T-shirt contests. I haven't yet figured out the correlation between gun
threats and Cancun.

being one of those still alive, standing next to your slain friends waiting
for your killer to reload his guns to move on to you.
We can trade anecdotes all day long, stats speak for themselves.
