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.

Welp never buy that rag again
Bring it!
Stupidity abounds again.
To hell with that rag of a magazine. Get real.
TIME TO REPEAL YOU ASSHOLES!!!!!!!!!!!
Try and repeal it. You will have a choice to make. Against the 2nd amendment you will be treated like an enemy. For the 2nd amendment you will have no worries.
Maybe it’s time your sorry magazine went under.
Kyle Sisemore why not place your property rights to a vote. Same thing.
If that’s the way you feel, go live in one of the country’s that banned guns. When someone breaks into your that has a gun, you can throw rocks at them or talk to them. Bunch of whiny butt hurt loudmouth liberal turds.
You have in no way shape or form showed us where we would be safer with out our guns, then we would be with our guns.
