The 2nd Amendment: Liberals Can’t Argue, They Can Only Bully

Left wing liberal's can 'progress' their ignorance to the point of being downright creepy, as a recent hypo-factual rant in The New Yorker illustrates; e.g. while referring to a legal brief in a civil proceeding, the author of the rant writes: "the numbered paragraphs give it an oddly religious feeling, like theses nailed to a church door..."

John Hinderaker helps rebut the New Yorker's error, and ease the shrieking, with an response article at Powerline.

Of course gun possession can deter crime. Why does this goof think policemen carry weapons? And does he seriously think there is no such thing as self-defense? Honestly, how dumb can you be and still get published in a rag like the New Yorker? 

The factual propositions asserted by the New Yorker are not “inarguable.” On the contrary, they are argued all the time. But to participate in the argument, you have to know some facts. [emphasis added]
