Since my opinions regarding 2nd Amendment rights are vastly different from yours Tess, I fully expected to disagree with everything you said. However, you proved me wrong... I completely agree with this statement:

Exactly.
I think it's
possible (not, as you've claimed, "likely") that some deaths (at VT and NIU) may have been prevented had someone chosen to break the law and carry. It's also possible that more deaths would have resulted. It's all speculation. We'll never know what could have happened differently on those days. All we know is that, on these two days in particular, guns on campus resulted in many deaths.
And I'm not ready to say that more guns on campus will result in fewer deaths.
The day guns are allowed on my campus is the day I quit my job.
