Campus Carry or Leave?

TEXAS TRIBUNE - UT Architecture Dean Fritz Steiner will now be the Dean of Design at University of Pennsylvania. His reasoning - Campus Carry.

Steiner has been around UT Austin for a long time and played a big role on the Architecture's academic achievement of the school. But he didn't think too hard when an offer from University of Penn came to him. He says that there were prior offers from such Universities but did not consider opting out from UT Austin until campus carry. He believes that he does not want to take part in such law that he does not believe in and the responsibility that will fall under him.

I chose this article because of Mr. Steiners decision. Although the writer did not express an argument, it is clear that Steiner bluntly expressed his thoughts about campus carry. I do not believe in such neglect of a law because of current events and the amount of fear that are happening with guns. The law or the gun isn't the problem, its the people. "Just as witches were not to blame for the Salem witch trials, and just as vaccines are not to blame for the negative results of the anti-vaccine movement, campus carry is not to blame for the current atmosphere of fear on Texas college campus," said the supporter of campus carry (1).  Don't get me wrong, I, too, am not in full support of campus carry. However, being able to say that I will not be responsible in any actions flooding out from that law, is to say that he has no faith in people who are attending University of Texas.

Marijuana can leads to such medical and economical benefits we can't imagine, but many use it for their personal desires and satisfactions that causes such negative results. Alcohol can be enjoyed with friends but people choose to drink and drive. Guns do not kill people, they can protect, serve, and save people. However its the people who choose to use it towards such anger, revenge, satisfaction, and their personal reasoning that leads us to believe that guns are bad.
Obama said that he has hope and faith in the American people when it comes to choosing the right President. I, too, believe in the American people that they will choose to use it for goodness of the public and not for themselves.
