Mass shootings can be and have been stopped in the past…

by Tim Condon

How? Ann Coulter explains how HERE. Basically, all that is needed is…

…the presence of someone with a gun at hand. Says Coulter, “If what we care about is saving the lives of innocent human beings by reducing the number of mass public shootings and the deaths they cause, only one policy has ever been shown to work: concealed-carry laws. On the other hand, if what we care about is self-indulgent grandstanding, and to hell with dozens of innocent children being murdered in cold blood, try the other policies.”

What policies? “Gun-free zones,” gun bans, passing “gun control” laws, creating trade-in programs, etc. All are dreamed up by Regressives (don’t call them “Progressives”; nothing about them is related to “progress”). All are useless, and very often counterproductive, as Coulter explained.

I’ve been political my entire life, starting out with Barry Goldwater and The Conscience of a Conservative in the1960's. In 1967 I enlisted in the U.S. Marines for four years, spending nearly two of them in South Vietnam. In 1972 I was a Florida presidential elector for Prof. John Hospers, the first Presidential candidate of the national Libertarian Party which was founded that same year. During the late 1970's and into the 1980's I was a contributing editor and monthly columnist for Reason magazine, and I’ve authored numerous articles in the print and online media about various subjects relating to individual rights and personal freedom. Today I'm a lawyer by profession; I divide my time between New Hampshire and Florida all year long, spending much of my time practicing law in Florida. As an early supporter and past member of the board of directors of the Free State Project, I was drawn to the Live Free or Die state of New Hampshire in late 2003 when it was chosen by a vote of the first 5,000 FSP participants. In 2004 I founded the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire, and continue today to work within the state political system to advance the traditional NH values of frugal small government, low taxes, small business, free enterprise, and self-responsibility. To all, I say "Come and see what we are building in the beautiful, healthy, livable Free State of New Hampshire!"

    The current run on gun sales in the country is thanks to DemocRats desire to disarm the citizens they profess to represent.
    Note to self for future reference, if I ever have the spare change: Buy stock in Gun manufacturing companies, ammunition companaies, and shooting accessories, when DemocRats take office.

    Sorry. She is wrong. There was an armed Sheriff’s Deputy, serving as a Resource Officer, at Columbine and shots were exchanged. It did not prevent the massacre.

    • Hal Graham

      Coulter did not say the Columbine massacre was prevented at all.

      She only says that the only things that work are concealed carry laws.

      As for columbine she mentions the number killed.

      Her comments are right on in all respects.

      So Eve, what would prevent massacres?
