For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: 6 dead college students in Illinois.

As our hearts reach out to the families and friends involved in this senseless act, should our minds be thinking it's time to consider securing our campuses? After all, I believe this is the fourth shooting at a school so far this year.

As the parent of one kid in college, and one in high school, my heart sinks every time I hear this kind of news. Is there anything we can do about this, or would any effective security procedures destroy that which is the American college experience?
