I'm not sure that anyone is 'encouraging' students to carry. Most will obviously not want to and that is perfectly fine. What is wrong is flat out denying others that wish to take up that right and responsibility for themselves simply because others 'feel' safer thinking that guns are not allowed.
For Roachboy: When you say this - the notion of armed students is little more than a bizarre compensatory fantasy, the kind of thing that you might dream in a revenge fantasy kinda way, reflecting nothing more than a combination of anxiety and a desire for control over the conditions that you imagine responsible for it. the associations that make this kind of thing appear to be even sane--which it is not--reside there, in the desire for control, for the elimination of arbitrariness. which is in itself a delusion.
You sound like every other gun control spokesperson out there that has zero evidence or facts to back up your position and the only thing you can do is espouse your opinion by flavoring those that don't agree with yours as bizarre, deluded, anxious, etc. etc. etc. All of the popular terms one uses to hopefully ridicule any other idea but yours.
