Universities line up against gun bill ajc.com

As usual, the acedemics are lined up to prohibit the exercise of our rights garaunteed by the Constitution. I have never been able to understand why people feel like the 2nd amendment should have limitations on it. Do any of the other rights garaunteed by our Constitution have geographic limitations imposed upon them? Are you only allowed under say the 5th Amendment, not to provide self incriminating evidence as long as you aren't in church or at a football game? Limitations on the ability for law abiding, concealed carry permit holders should not exist. The right to self defense is paramount to all other rights, for without the right to defend ones person, none of the others matter.
Universities are lining up to prohibit CCP holders, who have been investigated by law enforcement and proven to be eligible under the law to posess firearms, from exercising their rights. Do you really believe that the criminals that wait for, the known to be unarmed, students at GA Tech to rob them at gunpoint are carrying firearms leagally? If students who are legally of age and have been issued permits to carry concealed weapons did so, the criminal element might think twice before commiting a crime on campus.
I'm sorry to the Board of Regents, but your arguments just don't hold any water. More guns carried legally means less crime, not more. Just look at 2009 for example: More guns were sold in the USA than ever in a single year, aprox 14 million new guns vs 2008 when just over 8 million were sold. At the same time, violent crime for the same period was down 15%.
