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.

No dumb$#%&!@*rolling stone it is time to enforce it and make our nationstrong again
The rights enumerated in the Constitution come from God and are inalienable. They cannot be taken away by government and any attempt to do so is an act of treason punishable by death. Our Constitution calls it a duty to defend the our rights against enemies foreign and domestic. Our governments sole purpose is the preservation of individual liberty and it is our responsibility to overthrow our own government when it becomes destructive to those ends. Government has no authority to design Utopia, make the world fair, comfortable, or otherwise tolerable. That is the responsibility of each individual.
Luke Stewart Every nation that disarms its citizens has an increase in homicides. Take Mexico, or Australia for example. Or maybe you prefer$#%&!@*Germany. Check the facts, Luke. Then try to integrate the facts into your theoretical utopian ideological logic. Disarming people will not make them safer, it will make them vulnerable. If your still unconvinced then just tell our soldiers they can no longer use weapons to defend our country, but instead we will arm them with diplomacy, rhetoric, laws, and good intentions. Surely, that’ll get things done.
These news hags are the problem they spread their hate for America and they should. Take their asses overseas.
We the people are the government. Any person or group trying to usurp our authority or rights are treasonous traitors and should be dealt with accordingly.
NO ITS NOT!
