We should renew the American tradition of tough, self-reliant citizens who are not afraid to confront terrorists. Instead of fearing guns, they promote responsible gun ownership and training so that citizens can protect themselves and their communities. U.S. cities and states can reform their gun laws and educational programs to make it easier for those who are skilled and trained to have weapons in public places. In any major American city, 99.99% of people are not terrorists. Those are good odds in an attack, but only if citizens are equipped to defend themselves.
Paul Mueller is an assistant professor of economics and Steele Brand is an assistant professor of history at The King's College in New York City.

Not surprised to see that coming from King's College, at all. It is a bastion of Libertarian and free market thinking. Danesh D'Souza used to be the college president. One of the most prolific & provocative authors (and one of my favorite) in Anthony Bradley (the first black PhD to graduate from Westminster Seminary in Philly) teaches ethics there. He is a staunch Libertarian and free market proponent. He argues that less charity and more factories is what Africa needs to economically thrive. Anyway, I'm not surprised at all that a King's professor authored a "rugged individual" pro 2A editorial.
I agree completely. The only thing that surprises me about this is that USA Today published it.
I wish the conservative right thinking colleges were more widely known and recognized.

I'm not familiar with King's college.....I just saw NYC and "assumed." That just makes it more surprising the it got published in USA Today.
