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.

Rolling stone magazine should stick to music not politics
They really think that’ll keep them safe? If anything it will start a civil war much much worse than the first one. Anti gunners will be targets
I really think it’s time we take back our government!!
That. Was. Are. 4. Farther. U. Can. Not. Change. It
instead of blaming the terriorist all liberals want to blame the American people and ban all guns which is a totally stupid ideal as we need our guns for protection from the terriorist that obama is bringing into our country.
The biased press is out of control. MSN, NBC, WP, Etc the list has been slated since jump on the presidential primaries. I read everyday and don’t hear or read anything that I know millions and millions of people think and feel. All these brainwashed people is what I see and think. All these politicians elected by constituents that are talking the talk until they get their cushy jobs and do everything against the majority of people’s wishes. We need a government reform for sure, where elected officials can be fired by the people with no pension benefits for bad performance.
time to strengthen the second
We have to many terrorists after our butts to have a civil war over guns that are needed to protect our selfs
