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:
They will probably succeed in destroying our 2nd ammendment. But who is there that will take the guns of criminals such as illegals. Blacks. Islamic muslims? All these groups combined have more weapons than the army’s of small countries. Yes. The law abiding American Citizen will be left totally defenseless. How about the. None American.the blacks and the muslims? Who is there to stop them. Rocks sticks and frying pans?I don’t think so
Rolling Stone Rag SUCKS

F**k no
I don’t think so. Can’t mess with the Constitution. I believe one goes to jail for that.
CNN is a loser news station.
The brain dead liberals never stop. It about time that our right are recognized as irrevocable. This is the foundation of our nation.
I would rather see the first amendment removed or amended to keep people like these moron’s from burning the American flag that so many of military have died for. These are the kind of people that get lead around by the Obama’s and the Clinton’s and after everything is said and done, they wonder why they don’t have any police protection or any military to protect this country. If you don’t like what’s here and the rules that we live by here then the answer is as easy as they come just leave the country. I’m sure That any of the middle eastern countries would love to have some more blind followers. Another words get the hell out of this country and don’t let the door hit you in the$#%&!@*on the way out
The confederates wanted a new constitution, the Democrats want a new constitution, nothing has changed with that party other than the name.
