"Outlaw Guns!"

That’s always the “hue and cry” when something happens like the murder of this pastor. As if making a law against carrying a gun, or carrying one into a church would have stopped this murder. Making laws against carrying guns doesn’t even slow down those intent on committing a crime. Does ANYBODY think CRIMINALS, whose entire lives are dedicated to BREAKING the law, will OBEY a law that says they cannot be armed? Gimme a break! How STUPID is that? I haven’t learned yet whether this guy’s gun was legally carried, or was illegal. But in either case, how would an “anti-gun law” have stopped this murder? If he had a license, so what? If he didn’t, the question is the same; so what? Nothing stopped him from coming into that church and murdering the pastor. Only his gun jamming, allowing parishioners to subdue him, stopped him from killing others. After the last “mass church murder” I heard someone say, “We should be allowed to pray in church without worrying about the guy next to us being armed.” Why? Just because the guy praying next to you is armed, doesn’t put you in danger. And if someone comes in to kill people, maybe he can stop it, as one parishioner in Colorado Springs, Colorado did. They CALLED her a “security guard,” but she was a parishioner who happened to hold a license to carry a gun and was ASKED to “act” as a part-time security guard” while worshiping. (One News Now)
