Main Problem: Guns!

Despite all of our problems that have caused millions of dollars and have several raised issues, the Texas Legislature has decided to take the one topic so many of us have many questions about; guns.  The Burnt Orange Report published the #TXleg Update: Guns! Guns! Guns! by Chaille Jolink were they said that a new law would allow concealed handgun license holders to carry weapons in public and would also allow student to do the same.  Given the major shock I had after reading this, the article was intended to be read by students and their parents since the law allowed this kind of danger in public locations.  The author provided a very personal opinion on this topic but also a few tweets from reporters that allowed us to see the major importance of this law.  In my opinion, she should have added a few more comments from the Tea Party because they were the ones that approved of this new legislature.  She made it very clear at the beginning of the article that she disagreed with this problem because there are so many other things we could be focusing on, but yet the Government is still allowing citizens the option to carry something that could bring even more chaos.  Like the author, I disagree that this should even be a law to approve based on past campus accidents involving guns.  We should focus on more problems that don’t involve someone carrying a weapon in public.  This is common sense; guns are wrong.
