Guns On Campus For Oklahoma, Too?

Two Oklahoma lawmakers are pushing to have college students and faculty carrying firearms, a move they said would enhance safety on campuses but university presidents said is an unnecessary plan that could cause chaos. The state legislators said this week they want to end a current ban on licensed firearms carriers from bringing guns to campuses. “If there were a predator out there whose prey is young college-aged women and he wanted to assault them, where would he go to do that? He would go to a place where they are vulnerable, where they are unarmed … and that is a college campus,” said Republican Senator Ralph Shortey, who is leading the push with Republican Representative John Enns. The move comes after a rash of shootings at U.S. schools and universities has prompted fresh calls to supplement police and university security forces/ Reuters . More here .

Question: Where have we heard this questionable idea before?
