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.

If the 2nd amendment wasn’t there Americans would better soft targets
Why are innocent people that were wrongly put on a no fly list,denied their right to bare arms?Why is there no way to clear your name to get off the no fly list? Where is due process of law?Why are free people labeled guilty until proven innocent?Why is the no fly list a secret document?The constitution and bill of rights are documents that belong to the people.The government operates within the limits of those documents.Why is the left constantly attacking the peoples rights?
These fools have not been mugged yet and are ripe for a rude awakening lol
rolling stone was relevant in the 70s. now its just a democratic handbook
Then it’ll be a 2nd Revolutionary WAR!
Go smoke your pot take your drugs no one expects some of you to fight you would probably kill more innocents than all the wars put together !
But don’t think about taking guns away from good Americans in our country !
England has cameras on every corner that’s what they use to use but guess what they are strapping on guns !
You honestly think if they passed a law banning guns that$#%&!@*would fly? You think all the police and military who own personal firearms are going to give them up? Pass that bill and sign this administrations death warrant. Marshall law then a civil war. I plan on being on the side with all the guns.
Their reporters use a LOT of Drugs!!
SCREW YOU.
