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.

Amen locked and loaded!!!!
No, no it isn’t
I’m home now come on over and see if I give you my gun. I’ll offer you part of it for free. The part that goes in the back and comes out the front.
It’s time for the far left-leaning Rolling Stone to be out of business
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT! NOT
I cordially invite anyone at Rolling Stoner magazine to TRY to take my 2nd Amendment rights. Bring it on you socialist douchebags, it’ll be fun.
I don’t care about the evidence one way or another it is the idea that some think that they can walk all over our constitutional rights. Because whether we chose to own a gun or not it is still a right. Just like the choices we make we also take the consequences of responsibility
time to repeal rolling stone
We don’t have a “representative democracy”, we have a Constitutional Republic! Our Founders were against Mob Rule/Democracy and specifically counteracted that “Democracy” with the Sovereign individual being supreme by right, power, freedom and Liberty. There’s no ifs ands or buts. You don’t get to remove what I’ve always had and have loaned to my Servants and Representatives. If you feel a need to change our compact than I would push for our fictitious entities abolishment entirely… You’ve stopped serving and representing and your Mob Rule doesn’t get to change the very basic and framing facts. If I give up my 2nd Amendment rights than my “Government” has no rights or power to borrow them either!!! You cannot do what you wish to do, you cannot remove the very foundation and it’s most certainly invalid to attempt to remove what isn’t yours… It’s not a Privilege, it’s the right of the Masters
Adjust four fucked perception
COME AND TAKE IT!!!!!!!
