By: Mike McDaniel: In October of 2015, I wrote No Good Guy Guns On Campus: How’s That Workin’ Out For Ya? I commented on one Professor Emeritus Daniel Hamermesh, who resigned rather than face the horror of students exercising their right to self-defense:
Hamermesh makes a second, exceedingly common, progressive argument, an article of faith, really: guns have a magical ability to compel people to violence. If guns are at hand, any disagreement, any flare of temper, will result in gunfire. For a Texan, this is the epitome of denial of data and experience.
