Re: UA President rejects guns on campus

This Cato study is already discussed in another thread.
Here's my takeaway regarding campus carry.
Page 16-17
the numbers collected since 1900 show that
crimes of every nature are on the rise on college
campuses. Out of 110 years of data collected
and studied, the past two decades account
for 60 percent of the total number of
crimes committed. In 2008 there were 3,287
rapes, 60 killings, 5,026 assaults, and 4,562
robberies committed across college campuses.
Statistically, combining college campuses
nationwide, there are about 9 sexual
assaults per day.
........................
after Colorado’s 2003 concealed
carry law was enacted, Colorado State University
decided to allow concealed carry,
while the University of Colorado prohibited
firearms. The former observed a rapid decline
in reported crimes, while the latter, under
the gun ban they claimed was for safety,
observed a rapid increase in crime. Crime
at the University of Colorado has risen 35
percent since 2004, while crime at Colorado
State University has dropped 60 percent in
the same time frame.
All I can say is..... :totap:
