Gun Control on School Campus

I have to strongly disagree! I'm against individuals carrying guns on campus. First, the nonsense will start by students carrying guns. For those students that are either anti-gun or not qualified to carry a gun will demand that they can carry some sort of alternative weapon for protection. What would that “alternative” weapon be for students? Some examples could be a butcher / hunting knife, a hammer, an ice pick, the list could go on for miles. I understand that nowadays individuals feel vulnerable and defenseless to unexpected tragedies. However, our schools are not battlefields. Therefore, each student has no reason to carry a weapon onto campus. I don’t want to question if the person next to me in class or walking down the hall is carrying a weapon. I feel that we should only let those properly trained carry a weapon (i.e. Campus Police, off-duty peace officer taking classes, etc.) versus the individual taught by their parent, sibling, relative, or friend over a weekend getaway. If everyone identifies school shootings as a reason to carry a weapon, should we allow all passengers via plane, train, or bus be allowed to bear arms as well?
