Not sure you’ve got that correct.

* Shortly after the Las Vegas shooting, Jordan Peterson replied to a question about gun control in America.
*Peterson believes only the police and army being armed is dangerous, and that the citizenry should be equally dangerous.
* He also feels that legislation would do “zero” to stop school shootings in America.

What's your source for that? As far as I've seen, Jordan Peterson is against gun control, and for the right reasons: (1) it won't work to stop crime; and (2) it's dangerous if the government is armed and the populace is not.

Here's a link: https://bigthink.com/the-present/jordan-peterson-on-gun-control/

Pollard, I hadn't heard that. I admire the man greatly, and I admit I could be wrong on it, but this is all I have ever heard him say on the subject:

INTERVIEWER: Would gun legislation help stop school shootings?

JORDAN PETERSON: I think that in the United States the probability that gun legislation would stop the school shootings is basically zero. School-shooting culture doesn’t seem to have manifested itself in other places as much as it has in the U.S. And I can’t tell exactly why that is. It’s conceivable that it has something to do with the more rough and ready attitude towards guns.

That said, do you have a link to anything he has said on the subject? Granted, he is a Canadian so it is always possible he may have said something anti-gun that I just haven't seen.

You sound like a shallow minded drone. You have mental dwarfism.

Are you sure you have the right Peterson? He doesn't speak on guns often, but he has said:

"Only the police and army being armed is dangerous. The citizenry should be equally dangerous."

"Anti-gun legislation would do "zero" to stop school shootings in America."

So speaks yet another Political Puritan....

How about posting a legitimate article that truthfully reports his stance on firearms and our 2nd Amendment?

Here, I'll go first:
