Blog Stage Six: Comment on a colleague's work #1

On Friday, March 31, 2017 Alexander Nanez published the following blog “Guns on Campus”, and as the we can tell already he talks about our rights to having guns on campuses. Nanez main concern with students having the right to carry their firearms in campus is that he believes that it’s very easy to obtain a license and firearm here in Texas. This editorial was written mainly on the concern that Nanez will have as a fellow student. Throughout the editorial Nanez gave strong opinions on the issue “open carry.” He wrote in a way that it was clear and right to the point. Not only that but Nanez gave us facts for example what requirement it takes to carry and own a handgun. Even with all the requirements Nanez believes that is still not enough. He wants there be “smart laws and measures” that means “open carry to be the only carry on campus, no concealed carry and for all students to register with on campus police that they have a firearm, to have that firearm unloaded and with a trigger lock on at all times, and that every student must put their arms in a lock box during class time. Have the on campus police and other qualified individuals hold mandatory psychiatric evaluations and training sessions weekly or monthly to ensure proper use and safety on campus.”

Overall Nanez wrote a good editorial on “carry carry,” he gave his concerns with this bill passing on ACC. As well to why he believes that this bill isn’t well put together, meaning that the law when purchasing and owning a law should be more stricter and have more requirements.
