“Honestly the lack of security on our campus often scares me when I actually think about it. The fact that anyone can walk on to our campus, such a public campus, is frightening. Just to think that if anyone were to get a gun, which is quite easy in this country, they could come onto our campus and shoot a whole bunch of kids up… and then leave. Yeah. I think that the fact that our security guards don’t actually have guns to actually shoot down any potential threat is scary.

If anyone wanted to do real damage to the students on this campus, they would be easily capable of doing so, especially with the amount of mass shootings on college campuses in recent years. Thinking about that and the lack of security often worries me, especially focusing on the Jewish community with the recent bomb threats at Jewish centers and vandalization of Jewish centers. A lot of Queens College students are Jewish, about a quarter of this campus.  And if someone were to really want to do harm, they could move past that threat and take action. And that worries me. A lot.”
