As gun ownership has increased over the past 25-30 years, the incidence of gun homicides has declined. That ought to be the end of the argument right there.

It has never occurred to this writer that there would be no mass killings of queers if they were still at home in the closet.
Yes. Portions of the Bill of Rights or the entire Bill of Rights can be amended or repealed. I understand that you’re saying these rights are granted by the divine to all citizens irrespective of the Bill of Rights, but that doesn’t mean the government has to recognize them.
That said, the left has consistently amended the constitution time and time again by judicial fiat. The left does not play by the rules. Rules are only something to use against one’s political opponents. The sooner the right wakes up this fact, the sooner we have a chance of pushing back against the leftist counterrevolution.
Those who can’t do, teach. Those who can’t teach, teach at a Liberal Arts college.
They just don't get it, do they..?
This is what the author wants. To die mewling in the fetal position while very bad men have their way with him and his family. This is what the left wants. They are welcome to it. The rest of us who understand what it takes to maintain a civilization will stand vigilant. However if the author wants to pull down his knickers for the first person who knocks on his door unvisited I suppose that is is personal business.
It’s not always a good guy with a gun.
Recently an 80-year-old woman in Washington state fatally shot a man who broke into her home and stabbed her husband...
My dear Angela, it doesn't make sense to *you* because you are incapable of rational thought. If you understand the culture of the shooter, it makes a lot of sense. Islam hates homosexuality, which is a capital offense under Sharia. Islam also hates infidels, who must convert or die under Sharia. Jihadis who kill infidels get special rewards in heaven, according to Muslim tenets, and ISIS is just the newest group of jihadis to spring up.
See, if you take time to understand, it *does* make sense.
We can find explanations for all of these shootings — terrorism, mental illness, white supremacy — but none truly satisfies.
Right, Angela. This is not a black and white world where there are simplistic causes and effects. There are as many causes for mass murders as there are mass murderers. Thus, there is no simple answer for the problem. Even if your simple solution were possible, and we managed to destroy every gun in existence and came up with a way to prevent the fabrication of guns ever again, there would still be mass murders. That is because the problem is not the availability of guns, the problem is in the murderer's head. And I know that for someone of low IQ like yourself, it is really difficult to wrap your mind around the concept that there really are not simple answers to complex problems--but, sweetheart, you really need to try. Or you will just embarrass yourself with more idiotic op-eds like this one.
GREAT! We'll dissolve every police department, and decommission the entire army!
What a wonderful liberal idea!
This explains everything about Angela on her bio.
Angela Stroud is an assistant professor of sociology and social justice”
There are Professors of “social justice” now?
Nope. She wants to deny me my Second, I deny her her First.
Quid pro quo, Clarise.
Stopped there too.
Travis, that visual about SWAT. Cripes! So many cabinet departments are equipping and training such teams. If not to respond at once, why? Surely not to defend bureaucracies from the people. Three hours? Why not just wait for the perp to fall asleep. Victims and families deserve answers to that one.
A good guy WITHOUT a gun isn’t the answer either, unless the question is “What is a target?”
We don't know what that is, other than a big waste of university money which would be better spent paying someone to teach a real subject like calculus, physics, French, geology, English, etc.
The victims of the Orlando massacre are dead because of their life style.
A terrorist with deep convictions against the lifestyle knew where the targets would be!
In many Muslim countries, if these people had gathered together, the government would have performed the executions.
Amazing,
Bath Our White House in Rainbows,
Stir fry our Kids Brains with confusion on
Which Bathroom to use and then continue to make an assault on the God given Right to Self Protection from an insidious enemy.
The self destruction of this mentality is on Display.
Perhaps someone should remind Angela baby that opinions are like rectums: everybody has one.
Another of the misinformed liberal do-gooder butt wads.
Not worth the bandwidth.
An argument could be made that since ratification of the Constitution was contingent on the existence of the Bill of Rights, the repeal of any of them might be cause for the dissolution of the Union they helped create.
