The article describes the growing debate about whether guns should be allowed on college campuses. This relates to the current debate going on in the state of Texas especially with the University of Texas at Austin nearby, which has recently been deliberating this same issue. It was mentioned in the article that if any state passes the proposal it would likely be Texas, with Arizona also a possibility. It shows that the debate about guns on school campuses and gun control laws in general is becoming a growing issue.
It relates to national government and directly to the 2nd amendment of the constitution, which guarantees the people the right to bear arms. Some believe that this amendment should mean that people have the right to carry guns anywhere. The issue is whether people should be allowed to carry guns on a college campus. Legislatures nationwide have been debating this issue because of growing concern about campus shootings.
The argument is that if someone were to go on a shooting spree there would be a way for people to defend themselves. However, with many people having a gun, there could be even more danger if everyone were to be firing guns at the same time anybody could get hit with the bullets flying everywhere.
