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.

↖Click pic to follow me, if you wish. MY thoughts may be harsh facts, but it is what it is!! You may want to share, as great minds think alike. Or maybe, my knowledge gives you something to think about.
Repeal the Second Amendment? Oh take away gun rights like$#%&!@*and Stalin did right before becoming oppressive dictators… The second Amendment is in place to arm the citizens just in case the government gets too powerful and corrupt so we can revolt if we need to, and you want to eliminate that’s right? With all of the corruption and all the communist type liberal propaganda news and now the Liberals want to start taking away constitutional rights? It would just trigger a civil war and seeing that the military and most of the law enforcement is on president Trumps side it would be very unwise
I think it might be better to put all the liberals on Zane.
Sure kust leave the thigs with black market guns have them. This is plain stupid! It’s not the lawful citizens causing the problems. People with concealed carry have saved lives so stuff it.
