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:
That will b a declaration of war by the government against the American people. Won’t happen.
F**k CNN
I will not acknowledge any alteration of 2nd,no one will good luck

WHO CARES WHAT CNN SAYS, EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE ASSOCIATED WITH CNN IS FULL OF$#%&!@* LIES LIES AND MORE B******T! THATS ALL CNN STANDS FOR.
Exactly what the administration would like to do !!
I took the time find and read the article and while the writer says he teaches and makes valid points about some changes made to the Constitution he completely ignores the glaring fact that none of those changes were made to the first ten amendments otherwise known as The Bill of Rights. We’re not talking about term limits or prohibition. These are the Ten Unalienable Rights forever enshrined in our Declaration of Independence. I believe Mr.Cohen suffers from severe societal disconnect if he believes the silent majority will stand idly by as the very rights the Constitution defend, not GRANTS, DEFENDS are stripped away. It was only with these amendments the the Constitution was ratified and any government that seeks to repeal them is not nor ought to be legitimate.
It is time for everyone to carry wherever they may be going. If there was someone else with a gun he would never had time to kill or wound that many people.
