the feminist librarian reads

While it is certainly true that the 2008 holding in the Heller case gave individuals the right to bear arms, that ruling didn’t in fact make the rest of the world disappear. Which means that all those people who are not you are out there, and they are drinking, they are fighting, they are jealous, they are greedy, and, yes, some of them are pledging fealty to ISIS. That’s because guns are dangerous in the hands of even momentarily dangerous people, and nobody has the magical powers to disarm them all, even with a gun.
