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.

It’s time to repeal rolling stone magazine.
CNN and Rolling Stone are all assholes who should be held accountable
Instead of outlawing guns the should make it mandatory for every law abiding citizen over the age of 21 to carry them. This$#%&!@*would stop!
Funny because the uneducated think that these criminals are ALL buying guns legally. I suppose we should be doing background checks for pressure cookers and fertilizer because the people that used those items for mass destruction didnt use guns. If the bad guys want the weapons they will get them and we will be a country unable to defend ourselves under obama and hillary.
Good luck , we are not giving up anything . Taking them away will not change a thing. Not to be a$#%&!@*or insensitive But procreation , gods will,$#%&!@*happens etc ….. first plane crashes this car crashes there’s bombings you can take away people’s guns for $35 you can go to Home Depot and buy everything to make a bomb that you can kill 50 people with there’s always going to be away. And taking guns away from the American people that’s a fight you’re not going to win whether it’s the US government or not… my 9 years daughter should not have a concern that the governments coming to take our guns away… Because unless the US government’s ready to kill kids and families that the only way they’re going to get them from everybody…
# OBAMA IS A$#%&!@*;)
Fu koff die
With the second goes the first.
And every subsequent thereafter.
IT IS TIME ”’BAN”’ CARS,OH THE KILLING THEY DO !!!! CNN & ROLLING STONE MAG. SHOULD BE BAN ALSO,THEY MUST BE WORKING WITH THE ”’TERRORIST”” ??????
Oh yeah I listen what CNN says
Barry, Dana, Don, Joe. Yes yes let’s stop gun violence by putting more guns into the public, and surley taking them away would enable more deaths is a great American logic…
Same logic as me saying all gun owners should just shoot themselves so the people left over can have a bit of peace…
