he president of the Liberty University is urging students to carry concealed weapons on campus in order to “end those Muslims” who would attack the campus.
“Let’s teach them a lesson if they ever show up here,” President Jerry Falwell, Jr., told students at convocation Friday, according to the News & Advance.

I am a firm believer in the 2nd and concealed carry....but. There are people out there I wouldn't trust with a BB gun, much less a loaded weapon. Guns/concealed carry is not for every one. The last thing we need is a bunch of paranoid people jumping at shadows. Or shooting at them.
Some take these TV evangelists seriously and will do what they say. Or use it as an excuse to do what they want.

I know I feel safer knowing everyone is armed than the alternative of only bad people having guns. Crime would rarely occur if everyone was armed.

In order to get a ccl permit you have to go through both a book and practical use course. It is not cheap and it takes 4-5 months after completing the course to get your license. (background checks x10)

He was referring to radical Muslims who show up to attack the campus. I didn't see anywhere in his comments that he said "go forth and kill all Muslims, God wills it."
I don't have a problem with him telling his students to be willing to defend themselves should an attack happen.
"Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.
