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:
If they say that no one on the no fly list can buy guns then we are all screwed because you know who puts people on that is the government and they can put anyone they want on it so if we say they can start doing that then you what is going to happen all of our names will end up being on the list and they will start coming for our guns
I say it’s time to remove obama and his entire lawless asministration. Public hangings across the board for HIGH TREASON!
not gonna happen at least not without a fight’
Just make sure stones get no armed security so they can use their pencils to protect themselves. Worthless liberals.
Rolling stone just short of toilet tissue
YOUR MAMA!
CNN is stupud
What NATIONAL Emergency?
many of the amendments are wrong but the document holds strong! as an example: having the last runner up serve as VP would provide for a more diversified gov, not being “too” dem or “too” rep…… it wont happen in today’s society (maybe another generation or two but i even think its coming back due to today’s political climate..)
How about the 1st Amendment?
