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.

Come and get mine
It’s time to manufacture more guns for our safety……
F U
Fact
This man is an idiot and should not be teaching about the CONSTITUTION
It’s time to STOP buying the Magazine.

To all the anti-2nd amendment folk! F-you. That Right is staying. So i suggest shut up or grow a pair and try to come get them. Our founders knew it was important to our Republic and to keep from a tyrant or tyrants ruling over us. And i do NOT trust our government enough to get rid of it
Got it dbag? FUCKKKKKKKK YOUUUUUU
Does anyone still read the Rolling Stone anymore. It hasn’t been worth a$#%&!@*since the 70’s. And even then it was a anti-American rag, but at least back then it was actually about talented musicians, instead of socialist activists, who have zone tallent.
