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.

Guns dont kill people wicked minds do..
You can have my gun after you murder me. I’ve broken no laws, I’ve killed no one, I’ve not threatened the life of anyone. So you coming to take my rights away by force under the threat of violence if I don’t comply would be murder. I will never be a victim of murder without attempting to defend myself. You got swat and tanks so it isn’t like I actually stand a chance but I’ll make you murder me before I will voluntarily be a slave to our corrupt government.
2nd Ammendment stays for ever.
They could appeal all these assholes want nothing in. The name of law they could do. Fucken morons

We need our 2nd Amendment to protect ourselves.
No way we just need background checks at gun shows
I thought changes to the constitution and the bill of rights had to be ratified by 2/3 votes of the states. Am I wrong and if I’m not, when did this change?
Rolling Stone can suck it!! That time will never happen, the second amendment is sacred!! The American People will never give up their right to bear arms!!
