Without False Claims About The Risk of Concealed Handgun Permit Holders, The Left Has Nothing
Townhall ^ | 11/11/21 | Dr. John R. Lott & Professor Carl Moody

Preface: Last Friday, the National Law Journal ran an op-ed by Lisa Vicens and John Donohue with many errors in it regarding a case that the U.S. Supreme Court heard last Wednesday on New York’s concealed handgun law. The article gave readers very inaccurate information on the academic research regarding the risk of crime by concealed handgun permit holders. This false claim of public safety is really all the state of New York has to base its case on. The left-leaning National Law Journal, a business partner with Michael Bloomberg, is unwilling to respond to repeated requests to correct the record on these extreme inaccuracies, so we are publishing our response here at Townhall. Unfortunately, all the judges, lawyers, and law professors who read the National Law Journal won’t hear the other side of the argument.

Our Piece: “The last thing we need is the infusion of additional guns into New York City,” said New York City Police Commissioner Dermot Shea on Sunday. After the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen last Wednesday. New York’s legal team argued to the Court that this would worsen gun violence.

Progressive axiom: crime isn’t a thing; the only “crime” is that which hinders The Revolution.

Progressive corollary: Those who are armed have means to say “no” to The Revolution. This hinders The Revolution, therefore is a crime. Ergo, being armed is a crime, and anyone armed - regardless of legislation - is a criminal who must be disarmed and punished. Only exception is those who are demonstrably* supportive of The Revolution, and thus are not criminals.

Is that the one that was founded in the US by the Communist Party?

Pick any issue and, without lies and liars, the left has nothing.
