Yes myself and a friend (who gave me the article) presented Arron Zellman's Interview from 1995-ish time frame in a Gun Magazine to Liberal friends, mine was a co-worker, his, his girlfriend. My co-worker turned white as a ghost when presented the evidence and mumbled away, ya but I don't care I still want the ban, his girlfriend was pissed and sort of had an answer similar to my friend..
You see you challenge their epistemology and it is to scary, that you are challenging how they know what they know. It makes all the liberal lies of what they know fall like a house of cards, and it is too painful, because you are going to their core.
They can't have it, they'd rather go on believing in the tooth fairy...
He has a good talk at the Heritage Foundation.
That's exactly the plan.
Many wise men and women pointed out that the dictator cannot thrive in a free society. He only can rise in a society where enough people beg him to come, rule over them and repair all the ills of the world.
The US society, even at this point, is perfectly capable of stopping the problem of armed madmen, and the article explains exactly how. However the people in power are not interested in that. They want to use the crisis to further their agenda of total dependency upon the government.
Disarming the population acts on several fronts. First, it monopolizes violence in the hands of the government. Second, it makes citizens into defenseless cowards who must beg the government whenever something untoward happens. But the government will not be quick with help (when does it ever happen?) This creates the atmosphere of terror within the society, when people know that they are vulnerable and helpless. In such an atmosphere a dictator can have a free reign, with full approval of the populace, just with a few show trials and a few flashy new measures that will have no effect (at best.)
Yet you’re posting on this thread.
Sorry elkfersupper, Ann HAS shamelessly supported too many RINO’s in her arguments. Political solutions involving “kicking the can down the road” RINO’s will solve very little in what needs to be done. Only a fool goes back to a dry well. She now rates as casual reading, if that.
Yes, just consider it’s my vote as a FReeper. And yes, you are correct; I posted on this thread several times.
I think you're going to be disappointed. She's a person with an opinion, I doubt she's aiming for the prophet label.
Gun control won't help. It didn't help stop the massacre in Oslo, Norway or the Beslan school attack in Russia. It also didn't stop the 911 terrorist armed with just box cutters from killing almost 3,000 people in NY, DC, and PA.
Increasing the odds of quickly stopping those determined to kill innocent people is the only way to minimize the damage of the next attack. If the next lunatic cannot get a hold of a gun, then a bomb, a machete, a car, or a baseball bat can be used to kill defenseless, unarmed innocents.
I never lost my love for Ann (I STILL WANT TO BEAR YOUR CHILDREN ANN!) even though she supported Romney when I didnt
(ITS OK HONEY YOU DONT HAVE TO AGREE WITH ME 100%)

ABSOLUTELY NOT.
there are conservatives, like a friend I have,who do not understand about guns, but when I point out articles like this, they stop, think and reconsider their position.
I watched her interview. One seriously tough lady. Coiled like a spring, cool as ice.
The problem with the suggestion that principals and teachers start carrying in school is that teachers are a largely a bunch of nutso lefties who hate guns and wouldn’t pull the trigger if their own life depended on it.
Great idea, but I’m skeptical it would ever be implemented.

Depends largely on the school.
It would be pointless to authorize principals and teachers in urban schools. There's a high risk that the guns wend up in the wrong hands (the students').
Similarly, suburban schools -- which are largely populated by the sort you describe.
Rural schools? No problem. The administration, teachers and students all know what guns are for...and how to use them.
Mother Jones purposely left out the statistics that show THE OPPOSITE of the exact point they were trying to make
When you leave out the low body count killings, you eliminate most of the cases where ANOTHER GUN SAVED LIVES!
There are lies, dammed lies, statistics, and democrap talking points.
