Lone Star Community College students: TX:We should be allowed to have guns on campus

Two students from Lone Star Community College in Cypress, Tex., appeared on Piers Morgan’s CNN show Tuesday night to argue that students at the school should be allowed to carry firearms on campus.

Earlier that day at the college, 20-year-old Dylan Quick was taken into custody by local authorities for allegedly wounding at least 14 people, two critically, with a razor-like knife. The students, brothers Jonathan and Jon Paul Clayton, argued that this event could have been avoided if students were allowed to carry guns. Morgan, a vocal proponent for stricter gun laws, disagreed.

MORGAN: Let me turn to you, Jonathan and Jon Paul. Although you didn’t see the incident, you have quite strong views about how you think you should be empowered to deal with this kind of thing. Tell me what you think should happen.

JONATHAN CLAYTON, STUDENT AT LONE STAR COLLEGE: Well, sir, I think that — you know that we as students, are — I mean, we are adults and the government does not permit us to have — carry weapons even, sir, even if you have the certificates and certification to carry a handgun. And I think that law should be changed for protection.

MORGAN: So you basically both think —

JON PAUL CLAYTON, STUDENT AT LONE STAR COLLEGE: And I agree. MORGAN: Right. You both think that you should be allowed to carry guns at school?

JON PAUL CLAYTON: Yes, sir. If you’re properly trained and have the certifications and all the legal papers, because 99.9 percent of all gun owners are legal, abiding citizens.

Following the students’ appearance, Texas State Sen. Dan Patrick went on Morgan’s program in an attempt to point out flaws in Morgan’s anti-gun arguments and bolster the case for firearm ownership.
