TO THE EDITOR:
The Wednesday, March 18 edition of The Daily Tar Heel carried an article about efforts to allow guns on campus.
The justification seems to be for self-protection.
But remember that suicide accounts for 61 percent of gun deaths. Often college students are in a fragile state of mind and suicide is common in that age group. Easy access to a gun could increase the number of suicides on campus.
Guns on campus are not necessary and could lead to tragedies.
