Last month, columnist David Frum penned a piece for The Atlantic that revealed he knows as much about firearms as Michael Moore does about dieting. In his article, “Responsible Gun Ownership Is a Lie,” he argues that Americans are better off with strict gun control designed to make it more difficult for people to own firearms. Frum makes most of the usual anti-Second Amendment arguments in his piece, deceptively claiming that lax gun control laws make people less safe. But, as with most of his anti-gun comrades, Frum fails to make a compelling case.

Just like Alec Baldwin claiming the film industry needs more stringent gun-safety rules, the Left continues to ignore widespread infractions of those already in place. Rule #1: Keep guns away from liberals!

Probably better off directing your dollars to Gun Owners of America, OP. NRA is still run by feckless coward Wayne LaPierre who somehow was re-elected to another term. Most money that goes to NRA these days ends up being spent on his lavish lifestyle and his champagne tastes, rather than fighting for our rights.
Believe me, as an NRA Benefactor member for more than a decade, it pains me to say these things. LaPierre sucks. Most of the hardcore 2A type that sat on the board have left over the years while WLP has run NRA into the ground, leaving it vulnerable to attacks by assclowns like Letetia James in NY. In yet another NRA scandal, they just got hit with a ransomware attack and are busying trying to figure out how to deal with that.

NRA was a great organization at one time. David Frum, David Brooks, David Brock, etc...are interchangeable liars and hacks.

Guns prevent far, far more harm than they cause in the USA. Crime has uniformly decreased in ALL states where concealed carry rules were improved to make it easier for honest citizens to be armed for their own defense. Hard fact. Read "More Guns, Less Crime" by John Lott. It's a carefully researched look at all of the counties in the country, compared before and after improved laws.
Prof. Gary Kleck a criminologist researcher at Florida State University has studied defensive gun used in the USA for many decades. His work is very careful and scholarly, and he has written many papers on this topic. Many times he has been attacked by ignorant antigun fools like Frum, and Prof. Kleck has always shown his raw data, his methodology and has been willing to do any legitimate "controls" for various factors that the antigun folks say that he "didn't control for". NOTHING has ever made a significant difference in the basic fact that from a low of about 500,000 up to 2 million plus times PER YEAR a handgun is used by an American to protect themselves from violent attack. The results are repeated regularly, and always are the same. In 90% of cases, the presence of the gun is enough to end the confrontation, and no shots are fired, and in a huge number, no police report is filed.
I have been told of several of these events by friends and co-workers over the years where a person was threatened, showed a handgun and the threat ended immediately and the threatening person(s) ran or drove away, never to be seen again.
I know of two suicides by handgun, including one much beloved former sheriff of our county, who worked for years as the chief armorer for the police in my city after retiring as sheriff. He was elderly had lost one foot to diabetes, had poor results with a prosthesis, and was about to lose his other foot. He shot himself rather than live 100% dependent on a wheel chair and I have been told felt he would be a burden on his wife. Others saw it differently, but he decided his own fate.
It's part of freedom, unfortunately. It includes the freedom to end your life. And a gun isn't required.

Gun control?!
You wanna know about gun control?!
Just ask not-very-smart-at-all Alec Killer Baldwin.
His excellent marksmanship in killing one and wounding another shows he knows all about gun control.

Its the communist left who are dangerous with guns. They are usually inept in their care and use, and unable to control their emotions. The two together are a dangerous combination.

The 'back yard shootings' Frum mentions are caused by 15% of our population. Can I say that?

The strategy of the left is to create victims they can exploit.
