Guns: safety or danger?
Nov 21 2021
Farhad Manjoo writes in The New York Times about guns, and how having guns on the streets can escalate a situation. This is specifically about the Kyle Rittenhouse trial (by now we know he was acquitted) but this piece is also about larger issues beyond a single trial.
The prosecutor in the case makes a very good and illuminating argument about having guns in volatile situations. They do not necessarily make the situation safer, the precense of guns can provoke and make the situation worse.
