The Sheepdog

by Gary Evens

7:00am Monday, November 07, 2022

In his introduction to his book On Combat, Lt Col (Retired) Dave Grossman describes society as being composed of three types of people—“sheep”, “wolves”, and “sheepdogs”.

However, the City of Columbus and recent media reports are misleading the public about what this ruling means.

A recent study by the Crime Prevention Research Center underscored how easily public opinion polling can be used to distort, rather than illuminate, peoples’ true feelings on gun control. Policy-makers should take note. Sound policy requires a thoughtful and sophisticated understanding of facts and evidence, not just the shifting whims of public perception.

Tantrums - that is the only way I can describe the anti-gun liberal reactions to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in NYSRPA vs. Bruen . They are doing everything they can think of to defy that decision and in the process they are just making things worse...for themselves. Let’s look at a few examples. California and New York, two of the most anti-gun states in the United States, seem to be the...
