[QUOTE="Dale00, post: 2608012, member: 688"] Dear Mr. Robinson, I am very pleased to hear of OSU's support for the Second Amendment and concealed carry in Oklahoma. As for you saying that it is a bad idea on college campuses, I am eager to hear more of your reasons. Perhaps you can present the actual hard facts behind your assertions. In general what is good for the goose is good for the gander. There must be something very unusual about college campuses for something that you support outside of a campus to be bad the instant that one steps across the line onto the campus. What exactly is the difference between colleges and their surrounding communities? You appear to be arguing that the presence of guns causes increased suicide rates. It is my understanding that those who are suicidal will find a means of accomplishing their goal. Is this incorrect or do guns actually increase the probability of an individual taking their own life? If we are to believe certain studies coming out of Harvard University, Physicians Against Gun Violence, the CDC and other prominent sources, it appears guns do cause suicide. However the picture is not as clear as they make it to be. Here are some alternative points of view: [url]http://www.nraila.org/news-issues/fact-sheets/1999/suicide-and-firearms.aspx[/url] [url]http://www.americanthinker.com/2013/02/guns_suicide_and_the_new_york_times.html[/url] *** Source Study: [url]http://www.law.harvard.edu/students/orgs/jlpp/Vol30_No2_KatesMauseronline.pdf[/url] [url]http://www.guns.com/2013/08/30/harvard-study-concludes-gun-control-prevent-murders-violent-crime/[/url] [/QUOTE]
