Texas Lawmakers Pass a Bill Allowing Guns on Colleges. (The New York Times, 6/2/2015)
Texas legislators arrange a bizarre golden anniversary
At the University of Texas at Austin, interviews with more than a dozen students Tuesday found little support for campus carry. The university was the scene of the nation’s first campus mass shooting on Aug. 1, 1966, when a sniper, Charles Whitman, fired at people from the school’s clock tower in a day of violence that left 16* people dead. The campus-carry law will take effect there Aug. 1, 2016, exactly 50 years later.
