How is banning CCW from campuses making them more safe? How can they not know that none of these mass shootings had anything to do with concealed carry, and would probalby have LESS victims if a CCW was there to fight back. Idiots with heads in the sand.

HUH??? WTF??? Where do they get their info:

BACKGROUND
INFO:
For far too long, gun owners, dealers and manufacturers have shifted responsibility for the damage caused by these guns to the families of the injured or murdered, our health care system, the state and ultimately the taxpayers. Any private benefit for a person to own such rifles is far outweighed by the additional danger they pose to the public.
SOLUTION:
With rights come responsibilities. The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms, but does not absolve us of the responsibility that goes along with that right. While semi-automatic firearms account for less than two percent of the roughly 300 million guns in the United States, the consequences of their use are disproportionately devastating. Rather than approach the problem by banning particular types of weapons, this solution will marry the right with the responsibility, ensuring that those who put these guns on our streets pay the full cost imposed on our society.
The Assault Weapon Responsibility Act would:

• Create strict civil liability for owners of firearms with the exception of handguns, bolt action rifles and shotguns.
• Create strict civil liability on the transfer, sale, or manufacture of these firearms.
• Remove Colorado statutes that exempt manufacturers, importers and dealers from their responsibility for the damages done by their products.
