Gun debate reaches college campuses

Texas Gov. Greg Abbot signed a bill allowing students with a permit to carry concealed weapons onto public university campuses. In response, last week, students at the University of Texas at Austin organized a protest after noting that it was now legal to carry a gun on campus but illegal to carry a dildo.

Texas is not the only state to consider changing their gun laws.

In Wisconsin, state legislators have introduced a bill to allow students to carry weapons on college campuses. According to Armed Campuses, an organization that aims to keep guns off college campuses, nine states including Wisconsin and Texas allow students to carry concealed weapons on campus, while an additional 21 states allow individual universities to decide their weapons policies.
