Colleges should be able to ban firearms on campus

Sen. Rebecca Whitley argued that it is an anti-public safety rule that is intended to punish local officials who attempt to regulate weapons, including the possession of firearms on school grounds.

Sen. Tom Sherman spoke about his son's experience very close to a mass shooting at the University of California at Santa Barbara raising concern that this bill removes the ability of UNH, state colleges and universities and the community college system to ban firearms on campus.
