I can help the professor out by boiling down our current “gun culture and policy”. There are two and only two categories of individuals that carry and use firearms. Criminals and law-abiding citizens. Law enforcement professionals are included in the law-abiding citizens category at about the 99.99% level as there are very rare instances of a law enforcement professional crossing the line, which then changes their status to “law breaker”. Red states typically have less strict gun laws and typically have lower rates of gun violence. Blue states like Illinois and New York have some of the most strict gun laws and yet some of their largest cities have gun violence and gun homicide rates that are off the chart high. A simple deduction on this anomaly is that criminals don’t abide by gun laws, and most other laws as well, while law-abiding individuals … wait for it … do abide by laws. Thus the need for law-abiding individuals to have their constitutionally guaranteed right to own and carry firearms honored anywhere at any time as the simple, effective means to defend themselves from criminals. Additionally, the ridiculously high firearm homicide rates of large cities like Chicago and New York City also cast serious shadows on the competency and will of the elected government leaders in those cities to provide adequate public safety.
Atlas is teaching a course on gun culture and policy? Is this Comedy Central?
