Via Campus Reform:

According to several House Democrats, college students cannot be trusted to carry concealed firearms because of their propensity to drink alcohol and experience depressive episodes.

In a letter sent to the leaders of both chambers of the Florida Legislature Tuesday, 10 Democrats from Florida’s Congressional delegation—including Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz—weighed in on a pending bill to allow concealed carry on college campuses (HB 4001/ SB 68), expressing their “belief that this change would only serve to increase gun violence in our campus communities” and urging state legislators to reject the measure.
