Kansas Just Made a Huge Move to Protect Students From Shooters Liberals Are Fit to Be Tied

http://conservativetribune.com/kansas-made-huge-move/

In the wake of the mass shooting last week at Umpqua Community College in Oregon, anti-gun politicians, including President Barack Obama, quickly seized the opportunity to once again push the absurd idea that taking guns away from law-abiding citizens would somehow eliminate mass shootings in the future.

But universities and lawmakers in one state are taking a logical, smarter approach to the problem.

The Kansas Board of Regents, the policy-making arm of the state’s public universities, will push to allow citizens to carry concealed handguns on their campuses without a concealed weapons permit. The policy is set to begin in 2017.

State Democrats have already thrown a fit about the proposed changes, but Republican state Sen. Michael O’Donnell voted in favor of two previous laws passed in the state that, when combined, paved the path to allow students and faculty on public university campuses to arm themselves.

“I just know responsible gun owners make the public safer,” O’Donnell said, according to The Witchita Eagle.

The board had studied ways to accommodate allowing students and staff to carry on campus, but after the Umpqua Community College shooting, the issue rocketed to the top of its priority list.

Finally, lawmakers and common-sense policy makers have come together and realized that “gun-free zones” only serve to provide target-rich environments for deranged criminals intent on shooting as many people as possible without much risk of being shot at in return.

Hopefully, other states will follow Kansas’ lead in the fight to arm its citizens and provide them a legal and effective means of defending their lives.
