Summary: This document explains the ethical and moral reasoning for banning concealed weapons on college campuses. The author, Bruce Arrigo, analyzes the moral support for banning the conceal carry weapons on campus. The document calls for practices to be done to eliminate the destructive amount of campus shootings and to prevent more from occurring.
Quality: This article appears to be a very high-quality source. Arrigo uses many key points about the carry concealed weapon ban. They also used research from other publications to strengthen their argument, for example, "A study published by Bouffard, Nobles, Wells, and Cavanaugh (2011) attempted to predict
what the effect would be on the prevalence of guns on campus if the concealed carry ban
was removed." This document also provided different perspective on the concealed carry ban.
Issues: The document was really long, making it hard to keep track of all the different ideas. Although, they provided a well-developed summary at the end of the paper to remind the readers the main idea. If they left out the ending summary, it could have lost interest for the readers to finish out the entire thing.
