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.

We need the 2nd amendment now more than ever in our nation’s history !!!!!!!!!!!!
The word ‘but’ only serves to negate the first statement. As in, “I think you’re sexy as hell honey, but you should really lose 50 pounds.” actually means “You’re too fat”. Plain and simple, libtards!
Adolf did that and see where the Germans ended up!
You just don’t get it , this is single-handedly the most important amendment to the constitution. Look what’s happening in Australia and throughout Europe because the people gave up and don’t own weapons. Over the last eight years with Obama in office followed by the Democratic choice Hillary (cricked)Clinton , we can never give up or weapons.
No way, not ever to repeal the second ammendment, the rolling stone magazine can go to hell !!!
Go screw yourselves.
And that is where #oleSkunkAssGeorgeSoros comes into the picture. He has been pumping money into any and all avenues to take America down. His hopes were diminished when the policies of Obama and HRC were finally rejected. And now he is still funneling money to those who would do us harm. McCain the traitor is right up there at the list. That sick old fool has to be taken down along with his many cahorts.
Ok Rolling Stoned, if you repeal the 2nd you will have nothing to protect the others which means you will lose your right t say stupid$#%&!@*like repealing the 2nd. Dumb asses.
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT
When someone says you don’t need arms or the right to self defense.. then by all means you DO need it.
