Whenever there is a shooting or a terrorist attack, Democrat lefties immediately seize on the tragedy, seemingly before the bodies are cleared, in order to ride their favorite political hobby horse of gun confiscation, or as they like to more gently refer to it, gun control. There seems to be a complete logic disconnect as they suggest that taking guns away from ordinary citizens is going to make everyone safer when the bad guys or the terrorists come to shoot them. How will unarmed citizens be safer under those circumstances?
There is, in fact, ample evidence that arming the public will do more to advance the safety of society than even a huge increase in police might would. Police cannot be everywhere at every moment, but an armed populace, especially one with hidden weapons, is a tremendous deterrent to bad guys since they have no idea who is armed or where they may be. And it certainly does not require arming every person in a crowd. The unknown factor of who might or might not be packing a nine millimeter pistol keeps the baddies guessing.
The evidence for this proposition is that most or all of the recent mass shootings have taken place in “gun free zones,” meaning zones designated to be free of guns. And they were, except for the bad guy or guys, who somehow missed the rule and so were able to mow down countless unarmed and defenseless citizens.
Another arrogant, anti-gun “progressive,” in this case a law professor by the name of David Cohen, has rushed to print anti-American propaganda in Rolling Stone magazine. While there may be as many as a dozen people who still actually read the magazine, it might still be instructive to broaden the reach of his musings and review some of the good professors points in this article.
Read anti-gun arguments on page 2:
Luke Stewart , what exactly are you?
Stoner mag? LMAO.
Who actually buys this sixties commie rag?
F**k CNN
B******t
nice gun
who will protect you from terrorists? NOT the government the more of us that die more money for them to waste. Ask the Sioux Indians what happened to them when they turned over their guns in 1890 at Wounded Knee. Look it up folks the government troops slaughtered men, women and children. If you think this will not happen again, think again history has a way of repeating itself.
This argument is silly. To add an amendment takes a I think 2/3 votes of each state. What does it take to amend one? I know it’s a lot easier to say then to do it?
Yes Luke Stewart because that is exactly what happens. With the advent of conceal carry the crime rates drop. It is a statistical fact. Therefore a logical thinking human being would be able to come to just that conclusion. Which is why liberals can’t accept it. They can’t accept that in a free society they must be responsible for their own safety. Which also explains why liberals are all socialists. You’re not adult enough to handle freedom so you don’t think anyone else should have it either.
SCREW YOU AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON!
