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.

It’s time for This outdated magazine to go
Guess you dont know what not be infringed means. You fucktards!
It is for the people not the government show some respect
What else could you expect from a magazine based out of San Francisco.
Time to repeal Rolling Stone, has had nothing to do with music since early 80’s, just scantily clad hip hop artists playing rap noise. You are obsolete.
They already do I believe.. It sure Feels Like it… !!
When will people realize the Constitution was NOT wrote to be changed every time an individual decides it doesn’t fit your lifestyle or personal likes or dislikes ! YOU live in line with the constitution the constitution doesn’t change to live your life ! It was wrote to prohibit these EXACT kind of infringements. To protect us from dictators and tyrants !
Funny how we never hear about these stupid people or organizations voting to repeal their rights or something they like or want to do! Like freedom of the press , why does CNN & the rest of the lying media vote to take that away ! Case in point !
Be ashamed, you don’t have the right to steal the constitution…
It’s time Rollin Stone goes out of business, irrelevant as it is.
F**k rolling stone…they have always been full of$#%&!@* Since when does anyone accept an opinion piece, in a magazine that is driven by sales, as actual journalism.
