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.

Seems like if CNN and Rolling Stone Mag have their way, we will no longer have the “Bill of Rights”. They are against liberty.
I think its time to reject the Rolling Stone Mag…
Let me get this straight, Rolling Stone Magizine the same one that featured a story as fact that acused a student of rape on only the word of a mentally deranged girl that was later found to have fabricated the entire story, That Rolling Stone Magizine? They have no credability what so ever. A left over antiestablishment Rag from the 1960s. Really who gives a$#%&!@*what they think.
I do not watch CNN. They rarely speak the truth, and in this case are clearly not Americans. So CNN, you can leave and go to one of those countries you really like, and quit messing with real Americans.
It’s time to ban rolling stone! No great loss !!!
March on Washington…….
BOYCOTT CNN!
So, CNN, if a few people are killed because of the misuse of guns should mean that guns should be banned, then wouldn’t it also mean that because misuse of governments kill people (democide) that government should also be banned?
Minute men at the ready!!!!!
Time to repeal the rolling Stones magazine
