So a group of co-workers were gathered in the hall discussing the situation and amazingly the topic of HB 1572 came up (allowing CCW on college campuses). More amazingly I didn't bring it up, someone else did.
Them: "Good lord, can you imagine what would have happened if that law (HB1572) had passed?"
Me: "Yeah, I'm pretty sure a lot less people would have died"
Them (agast): "What!?!"
Me: "Well, we now know what happens when you ban self-defense and a criminal/madman decides to ignore that ban. He's the only one with the power and he uses it freely to wreak as much havoc as possible 'cause nobody can stop him. If somebody else had been armed they might have at least stood a chance."
Them: "But if other people had guns now I have to worry about them shooting me as well, even if it's accidentally, 'cause there are more guns. I'd rather wait for the police to show up".
Me: "Okay, aside from the fact that it took TWO HOURS for the police to show up, when they arrive then there is a LOT more guns. Aren't you more afriad of being shot then?"
Them: "Oh no, the police are there to protect me, they'd never shoot me."
Me: "You honestly believe that the police have never shot anyone accidentally?"
Them: "I have to get back to work now".
