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.

Leave the Constitution alone!!!!
It’s time everyone stops reading rolling stones
We need to repeal Rolling Stone. Stupid liberal tag.
What the hell happened to Rolling stone mag?
Is Rolling Stone still trying to pretend to be a news outlet? Didn’t we find out just how credible they are when they played their little gang rape story?
Somebody gave me a gift subscription to the magazine, but as I pass the recycle bin, it automatically goes in without even looking at it.
And when the 2d Amendment wins the vote, the liberals will claim that it’s unconstitutional to vote one it…like California sidenote the people’s vote to not allow gay marriage…
They’ll say they want to vote again and again until they get their way….
No it’s time to get rid of the non patriotic liberals who aren’t grateful for the freedoms we cherish in this country
time for you to shut up. and close down.
Screw rolling stone
