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.

well you can try see how far it gets you
Our gov. Takes an oath to uphold the constitution. It’s our foundation, It’s America, It’s part of who we are. If they don’t like it, they are welcome to go live in a country where they don’t have a 2nd amendment and guns are banned.
Go straight to hell CNN,
CNN and Rolling Stone are both has beens. No one watches or reads that trash anymore . The last Rolling Stone mag I found in a rest room I used for wiping paper .
It’s time to shut down CNN.
Congress is voting on gun ban legislation. Call the US capitol 202-224-3121 to speak with your senators one congressman. The White House has been compromised by Muslim brotherhood. Obama and his staff are setting us up to be attacked. That is why they want to disarm us. Obama has imported his own private Isis army.
If you really believe that the US government will protect you, look at what they did to the American Indians.
It’s really hard to tell if you’re a natural born moron . Or if it took years of hard work and dedication for you to be so stupid .
And I should care what a liberal mag believes?
It’s time to put CNN and the rolling Stone out if business.
