Who still carries a .38? Guess she's hooked on reruns of Andy Griffith, Dragnet and Highway Patrol.

And knee-jerk liberal idiot sheeple cannot recognize the difference between a criminal with a gun and an honest citizen with a gun.

Then there are the idiots who advocate responding to the use of guns by criminals by disarming law-abiding citizens.

And the funny thing is, that group thinks they're geniuses.

Funny how there used to be all sorts of guns on campus and nothing like what the author’s overworked imagination has produced ever happened. I’m guessing Professor Roberts’ field isn’t history.

For some idiots, Chicago having the strictest gun control laws and an astronomical gun murder rate proves that gun control works, and states with concealed carry and declining rates proves that guns are bad.

I don’t know who this idiot professor is, but teaching at Florida State Un., says a lot about her (check out stories about crime down there, jihadist/CAIR activities, etc).

So she calls Jews for the Preservation of Gun Rights “nuts”. Perhaps she should read a little history of, say, Germany, 1930’s.

It is people like her who allowed the Holocaust to occur.

Thanks Diane. My relatives who died in Auschwitz and Belzec curse you forever!

I have a very nice snub nose S&W that I like to carry when I am wearing a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. It doesn't profile as much as the Colt 1911 and has much more stopping power than the Erma Excam .22 I "bought for my wife."

The Guardian is one of the major newspapers in the United Kingdom and probably the furthest left of them.

They sound a little under-armed to me. Not even a carbine?

Incrementalism cuts both ways. We’re rolling back years of left-wing social policy one court victory at a time, which results in screeds like this. Sweet.

My wife carries a pair of 38s. And she has a really big gun, too.

Hey, Roberts ..... ever hear of Dunblane? What price a Webley in some teacher's desk, when that guy went batsh*t and started shooting little kids?

Pull yourselves together, libs. You're getting deranged.

Yeah, that’s what I thought. She doesn’t even write very well.
