Texas has approved a new law allowing students 21 and over to carry guns on campus.

Students and faculty members at public and private universities in Texas could be allowed to carry concealed handguns into classrooms, dormitories and other buildings under a bill passed over the weekend by the Republican-dominated Legislature.

Supporters say it will make college campuses safer by not preventing licensed gun owners from defending themselves and possibly saving lives should a mass shooting occur, such as the one that unfolded at Virginia Tech University in 2007.

This makes sense. If a deranged person knows others have guns, or even that others may have guns, that itself may deter him. Furthermore, if it doesn't deter him, even if a minority of students are armed, they can prevent a massacre from happening.

But not everyone is happy about this new law

One of the most prominent opponents of the campus-carry bill was an unlikely figure — a former member of the Navy SEALs. Adm. William H. McRaven, the former commander of United States Special Operations forces who directed the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, is now the chancellor of the 15-campus University of Texas System.

“I’m a guy that loves my guns,” Admiral McRaven said. “I have all sorts of guns. I just don’t think bringing guns on campus is going to make us any safer. If you’ve ever been shot at, which I have, then you have an appreciation for what a gun can do.”

You know, I appreciate this man's service to our country, but his views are warped. He fought for America, ostensibly to protect our liberties, but says he doesn't feel that we are entitled to one of the liberties he was fighting to protect, the Second Amendment. And as a soldier he feels he is entitled to have "all sorts of guns", but not the students around him. Admiral McRaven is a double hypocrite.

It's amazing that liberals fear allowing students to have guns, but have no fear allowing them to vote. That's because students are brainwashed by the educational system. By the time they get through college, the majority of them are liberal zombies.

But consider which is really more dangerous, students with guns or students voting. A student with a gun can shoot a person. But students voting as a group can vote to deprive huge number of people of their liberties, can vote for politicians who will shred the Constitution, bankrupt the economy, and dismantle our national border and even the character of the citizenry. That sounds a lot more dangerous to me than students carrying guns.

Although they weren't reported in the news, voting massacres occur on a regular basis. In the 2012 election, there were voting massacres on campuses in Virginia, Florida, and Iowa, where students voted for Obama by overwhelming margins, helping him win those states by narrow margins. The victim of those massacres are the American people, who are seeing our economy destroyed with massive debt and our citizenry diluted with millions of illegal aliens.

If you were on the campus of Dartmouth College, which would scare you more, a student with a gun, or an absentee ballot?
