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.

I will never give up my gun! If they want it let these politicians go door to door by themselves and demand them! Just walk in and take them!
Trash rolling Stone magazine
AINT GONNA HAPPEN!
When the First Amendment right of freedom of the press was adopted in 1791, there was no technology like modern day printing presses, radio, television, the internet!
Many advances of modern day media were long from being invented or popularized!
So freedom of the press should be repealed for all those – including Rolling Stone – not using the ancient printing presses being used in 1791!
Just saying, if it’s time to repeal the Second Amendment because of advancing technology, the same should apply to freedom of the PRESS!
And if the left wants to play screwy semantics games, the right to bear ARMS is pretty specific – ARMS, which could easily include AR15s, no mention of just muskets, while freedom of the press specifies PRESS only, not any other form of media!
Rolling Stoned magazine need to write about music, weed, drugs and everything else that made them. Stay out of the rights afforded us by the constitution.
F U Rolling Stones!
Screw you, idiots……nobody reads your b******t propaganda rag anyway!
Stoned…
Time to burn all Rolling stone Magazines or new ownership!
Wrong. The People will never allow it to happen.
