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.

That’s just ludicrous…
It’s time to kill CNN
It’s b******t,still trying to take away my rights.
Without the second, all the others are just suggestions.
It makes me sick to my stomach knowing deep down that this manufactured, post-Myspace Generation of Cultural Trash would p**s the sacred Second Amendment away in a heartbeat.
Just look at them dance to the tune of Disarmament while being convinced by puppet politicians who bring these people in here, and the liberal media to p**s away our Second Amendment because the son of a Taliban Supporting Afghan Refugee killed 50+ while the same politicians and media get them to believe that NOT wanting Syrian Refugees brought into the country is racist. Just let that reality sink in. Think about the history behind the Second Amendment, and then think about the imported, unnecessary threat our leaders are using to take it from the people.
What happens 15-20 years from now when the son of a one of Obama’s Syrian Arrivals kills a bunch of Americans? What other freedoms will Americans lose? The children of today’s Gun Control Zombies will surely be there to ask that more of the Constitution be destroyed and I’m sure they’ll be a tragedy of some sorts to psychologically nudge them along.
We have a mental problem in our nation ! Not a gun problem! Our guns keep us safe. Get it right people!
CNN can get messed up real bad real fast they don’t watch it
