New York Magazine:
Time to Turn America Into a Gun-Free Zone
by AWR Hawkins 5 Oct 2015
On October 2–the day after the heinous attack on innocents
in the gun free facilities of Umpqua Community College–New York magazine claimed
that the difficulty of pinpointing future criminals should cause the US to
rethink its gun policy and consider making the entire country a gun free zone.
They cited Australia as an example of this approach.
Ironically, a shooting took place in Australia around 4:30 p.m. on the very day
that NY MAG was using the country as an illustration of the benefits of gun
confiscation and controls. Fox News
reported that the shooting took place in Sydney, leaving “at least
two dead.”
Nevertheless, New York pressed
forward by claiming that the difficulty of pinpointing who might pick up
a gun and start shooting is reason enough to implement draconian gun control.
They quoted Columbia University psychiatrist Dr. Paul
Appelbaum saying that trying to ascertain types of individuals who may develop
criminal intentions is just too “broad” an approach to be viable. He said that
trying to pin the blame on American culture is not really effective either, as
details about “peculiar violence-prone aspects of American culture” may be “interesting
in a descriptive sense, but… they [don’t] tell us much about what we should be
doing about the problem.”
In the end, New York throws
up its hands and points to Australia.
They turn to Appelbaum again who is ready to endorse the
Australian approach with one caveat–he wants to be sure everyone knows that we
should still expect to see mass shootings. Appelbaum said, “I don’t think
anyone could say honestly that if we tighten up on the availability of guns and
the ease of purchasing them, and reduce the number of weapons that are largely
produced to kill large numbers of people, that the problem will go away
completely.” He added, “Some people who will be able to get their hands on guns
and be able to do horrible things with them” no matter what actions are taken.
Yet even with these admissions, Appelbaum still described
the Australian example as one that is worthy of emulation.
