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.
Read anti-gun arguments on page 2:
Magazines will go to any lengths to make a buck. A law professor yet. Dummy knows better. The Constitution of the United Statesof America has worked just fine. But it is the anti-America people who have not worked. They are mentally contaminated with all the socialistic and communistic ideas. No wonder the young people are so scrambled with some duffus like that guy teaching them.
eat my$#%&!@*. Then eat the barrel
Come and try!
F**k rolling stone magazine.
Looks like another FOOL WANTS CIVIL WAR! Don’t they understand that WITHOUT GUNS THEY Would LOOSE??
Never bought the magazine never will.
The next one that would go down is the first, it’s time they were shut down anyways there just aren’t that many outhouses left.
Ok who is going to roundup the blackmarket guns of the mafia, drug cartels, thugs on the street. Gun control is not realistic. I couldn’t depend on a liberal to protect me. They be talking, talking, talking I’ve already been shot or stabbed.
Hell no
You will never repeal it, but feel free to come try and take them anytime.
