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.

Cnn can kiss our redneck asses
I think that it’s time to repeal your 1st amendment rights so we don’t have to see your cheap rag anymore now wouldn’t that be dumb be careful of what you wish for because there is always a down side to everything you open the box you don’t know what will happen
Rolling Stone? I have not read it for years and I don’t plan on picking it up again. Now the 2nd amendment that’s a best seller! I’ll make sure that I pick up a couple more guns real soon.

Second Amendment Supporters: It’s time to demolish Rolling Stone
Ok you morons lets eliminate the 2nd 1st 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th, why stop at the 2nd ? You make me want to throw up. Pick another country if you don’t want to support the Bill of Rights. Obviously a leftist thinker.
