Texans sure love their guns.
A law passed recently here in Texas that will allow students to carry concealed weapons on school campuses across the state. If you find this hard to believe (as I do), here's an article about it:

Where does this end? Guns in church? Guns in movie theaters? Guns in hospitals? Guns in elementary schools? I mean, why not just allow guns EVERYWHERE?
The advocates of this law like to point out the massacre at Virgina Tech, and they say that if some of the students had carried guns, the shooter wouldn't have killed so many people. Okay...maybe that's true...BUT....these types of massacres are extremely rare. What's more likely to happen is that you'll see more random shootings. Some student will get pissed off at their teacher, BANG! A guy gets pissed off that his girlfriend dumped him...BANG! That kid who sits next to me just said I was stupid....KILL HIM!

Statistics have shown that people who have guns are more likely to shoot a loved one or family member, than shoot someone that actually means them harm.
I can't imagine the people who crafted the Constitution ever thought it would come to this. As it was originally intended, the Second Amendment was created so Americans could defend themselves from a possible British invasion, which was certainly possible back in the late 1700's. Now we've got kids carrying guns into their college classrooms. Thomas Jefferson can be proud.
Guns are every American's God-given right. When Jesus created America he said unto Hamilton and Madison, "Keep thine virtue o'er The Gun, for it is an abomination to be unarmed. Placate the masses with what I will call 'reality television'. And for My sake, don't let the homos get married."
