Even Piers “Musket” Morgan has cooled on the push for comprehensive gun control, but David Frum might have stumbled across a new argument to reinvigorate the debate. If fewer people had guns, police might not be so trigger happy.

@jimmiebjr Police are "trigger happy?" @davidfrum

I don't even know where to begin with that @davidfrum tweet.

Apparently all cops are "trigger happy"? But I thought we should rely on them to save us from the bad guys… @davidfrum
— Krystle Baker (@TarheelKrystle) August 2, 2013
@davidfrum Don't think so David. Police aren't that trigger happy…

1) @davidfrum, cops ARE civilians. @dthurston

2) @davidfrum, how does citizens carrying firearms, cause supposedly trained public servants to shoot clearly unarmed citizens? @dthurston

.@davidfrum So how's the "disarm the populace so cops are less jumpy" movement going?

@allahpundit @MelissaTweets @davidfrum Been in several traffic stops over years while legally carrying. Always tell police. Never a prob.

If more civis carried, we wouldn't need police. RT @davidfrum If fewer civilians carried weapons, police might be less trigger happy

@MelissaTweets @davidfrum oh please. Nothing makes a cop feel safer than dealing with a citizen who's been vetted with the right to carry
— DaveinTexas (@DaveinTexas) August 2, 2013
Right. It's always us with CHL that pull out out guns. RT @davidfrum If fewer civilians carried weapons, police might be less trigger happy”

@Slublog @MelissaTweets @davidfrum if fewer women wore short skirts, criminals may be less rape happy.

Who knows how wide the calming effect might be? If fewer civilians had guns, criminals might be less jumpy too when committing crimes.
@davidfrum Congratulations, Mr. Frum. You've officially made the stupidest argument I have ever heard.
