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:
What the hell is the matter with people. Are liberals just so stupid and brain dead that things just don’t register. How many instances of people loosing their guns and getting slaughtered do they have to have as examples. Do you stupid liberals really trust this government? Are you serious. The Jews in$#%&!@*Germany. The North Koreans. Iran under Hussein. Christ sake the American Indians under our very government. Look at Chicago. Murder capital of the USA. Not allowed to own guns. If no one is allowed to own guns why the hell are there so many gun murders. Use your friggin brains people. You lose your guns you lose every right you have.
No lets don’t bring it to a vote. It’s in the Bill Of Rights in our constitution. The constitution is not a living organism. It is what it is and it says what it says. For a reason. The founding fathers were a hell of a lot smarter than any jokers we got in gov now. Dem or rep. Leave the damn 2nd amendment alone.
makes more sense to repeal liquor and smoking,and if you get it done the first Amendment can go also.then the whole constitution and all the other laws are gone too.and still criminals will have guns,gang members will have guns,drugs and alcohol.
Dumbass
Sorry, the 2nd ammendment is there to protect us all from the tyrannical move of destroying the constitution of the USA.
Dear Rolling Stone Rag: Nobody reads yer$#%&!@*anymore. Shut up & Go back to bed. Thank you.
Boycott the mag
Are you idiots crazy never have we honest Americans needed protection more. Crooks and terrorist will always have weapons. Do you want acidic war internally??????!!. Capt Bill.
I wouldn’t try and take the guns from law abiding American citizens. There will be a revolution. Boy that would be something. Obama wants to disarm Americans so his Muslim radical terrorist can kill all of us. No way I know my family
It is not to be voted on, it is a right, not a privilege, a right,
