Don't agree with every argument here, but this is a worthwhile (TL;DR) piece by Sam Harris.

I would love to see a NY Times journalist debate Sam.
Excellent article. -
Wrong on many points. There is some reasonable logic but not that much. If he's intelligent and can't figure out how an organization composed of 6 million people can't be effective in advocating for a political cause? It's not the gun industry they are protecting it is the protection of constitutional rights. Rights the left hates and wants removed. The ACLU won't touch anything 2A they hate the 2nd.

Well, essentially he is arguing that gun free zones are bullshit and schools need to arm themselves with people properly trained to handle a fire arm.
I'm not sure what article you read. -

"I share their outrage over the political influence of the National Rifle Association"
"Ordinary altercations can become needlessly deadly in the presence of a weapon."
He spits out a few non factual items. He does make valid points as well. He's better than most but still repeats a few talking points as fact.

DR, but if that's true it's what I want. Turn soft targets into hard targets and the shooters taste their own lead. Fairly strong deterrent in my mind.jecornel said:Well, essentially he is arguing that gun free zones are bullshit and schools need to arm themselves with people properly trained to handle a fire arm.

And for the "they want to die anyway" argument, fine. But they're not taking 20+ with them if the biology teacher caps their ass after firing 3 shots.
The Walmart shooter had 20 fucking minutes to kill. Shorten that time frame, save lives.
