William makes a good argument in the article, he brings different questions to our attention that we should ask ourselves when it comes to this dispute. The argument is well written with different aspects of the argument. He includes a couple of quotes backing up his statements. He also gives us many examples why we shouldn't bring guns to campus.

I do agree with S. Williams, guns should not be allowed on college campuses. If students bring guns to class then their going to adapt to an environment where guns are a part of society. Then soon it won't be a big deal to them if they get agry at someone and starts shooting at them. If one brings a gun to school intitually to gun the campus, the other students are going to take out their guns causing a big blow out with many students getting killed.

Allowing crime victims to have a say in court

Texas crime victims are trying to convince legislature to pass house bill 167 that would allow victims to have oral impact statements before sentencing. Crime victims should have the right to speak in court in front of a judge before the defendant is sentenced. If the defendants family and friends have a say in a courtroom then the victim should also have a say to defend themselves. No one knows the affect the crime has on a victim until the victim speaks out. In a recent case the parents of Amber Rice a young woman who was killed by a drunk driver, say they felt restless and powerless as they sat back in the courtroom watching the hearing of the man who killed their daughter. The defendant and his friends and family had an oral statement in the courtroom before sentencing, but the parents of Amber rice did not. If the defendant and his friends and family have a say in the courtroom then the victim should also have the right to do so. The victim might be emotional but should have equal rights just as everyone else who is speaking.

Texas is one of two states to forbid victims to have an oral impact statement before sentencing. Why not allow it?
