Governor Abbott's prayers and mine have not worked.
NRA = Never Really Apologetic, Never Really Accountable.
2nd commandment > 2nd amendment.
This can't go on. I own weapons, I am CCW, and I am not the problem.
The problem is that crazy people and those who can't get on airlines because of lists can own weapons.
This guy was shot by a civilian AFTER he fled the church, so more guns in the hands of civilians is not the answer.
This has to be addressed, and Wild West Approach ain't working.
Are all leftist on an email list given the same talking points? Even ones as shameful as prayer doesn’t work...as if prayer has ever been this shield from danger that’s granted as long as you pray x amount of times a week. Just the lowest of hanging fruit...fruit that’s not even on the correct tree, but a retard tree.
NO ONE WAS ARMED INSIDE THE CHURCH SO NO SHIT JACKASS, THE GUNS NO ONE WAS CARRYING INSIDE THE CHURCH OBVIOUSLY DID NOT SAVE THEM. And it’s very much believed that this guy, who started shooting at the people from the outside of the church (and the people didn’t try to run, but tried to hide, thinking he’d stop and leave) was going back to his car for more ammo (believing they’d stay put again) and finish the job. So yes the hero who met him out front with an assault rifle (thank god he had something more than a handgun to fight back with), probably saved many lives that day. It took what, ten minutes for first responders to show up, the murderer most likely try to finish everyone else off. YOU ARE YOUR OWN FIRST RESPONDER. OBVIOUSLY POLICE DID NOT SAVE ANYONE FROM THIS SITUATION, NOR DID GOVERNMENT GUN CONTROL LAWS, THEY DONT WORK, EVEN WHEN THEY’RE SUPPOSED TOO IN THIS SITUATION.
I think the left is attacking prayer so much (how could they resist a chance to subtly mock the church) because this case flies in the face of everything they argue about guns. Government dropped the ball (like they do everytime) even though they had the rules in place to stop this guy from buying guns (you can’t blame the gun store that sold him the gun since his “federal” background check came up clean even though he was tried and convicted fractured his son in laws skull in the Air Force)...the State of Texas knew this and denied his ccw permit, but yet this guy decided to break the law and carry his guns 40 miles into this church (which if he’s willing to commit mass murder, breaking gun laws is like the weight of a lugnut compared to an entire tractor trailer). And on top of the clear government ineptitude being one half of the equation, and the obvious lack of efficacy in gun control laws as the other half of the equation...a citizen armed with an “assault rifle” stops the mass murderer (in other words it always take a good guy with guns to stop a bad guy with guns). And jake is going to sit here and act like he “cares” (he doesn’t BC the whole “prayers don’t work” bit is a definite strawman mocking of faith), and on top of that try to pretend like if anyone was armed with a gun in the church, it would not have made a difference? Spare us jake, if you were in one of those pews, your prayers would be for someone else with a gun to save you...right now. No matter how bad you want to make the ridiculous and completely bogus argument of “no I wouldn’t want that Cuz they’d probably just shoot me instead.” No one buys that stupid argument so stop pushing it.
If anyone is wondering why this post sounds more ridiculous than usual...it’s because they have nothing...absolutely nothing. So they’re Turning to mindless sound goodery, and veiled mocking of faith to kick while down who they think their enemy is.
They have nothing because gun murder has gone down 50% since the 90s while gun ownership has skyrocketed in the very same time period. Gun crime plummets, America is safer than its ever been at any time, but yet more Americans are armed. They do not deal in facts, they deal in feelings. And their feeling is they think everyone is too stupid to be armed, make their own decisions, choose their food, their healthcare, how to spend their money. I mean look at this OP, ZERO FACTS, JUST BUZZ PHRASES NOT BASED ON FACTS. Obviously the facts are not on his side, which is why he’s trying to market to you like a used car salesmen. If you see this type of BS buzz phrasing, void of facts, BUYER BEWARE
O YOUR OWN RESEARCH. And if they can’t even acknowledge another point from the other side DONT FOLLOW THESE PEOPLE ANYMORE. They’re sad people.
Have mass shootings gone up, yes absolutely. But guns have been apart of America since it’s birth. Automatic guns have been around for a century, and actual gun technology hasn’t changed all that much in 30 even 40 years. And this uptick in mass shootings has only been prevalent really in the last 10 maybe 15 years...so ask yourself the question of what has changed...and can we move onto that conversation...one that actually matters, but for some reason no one wants to talk about. Instead they want to talk about guns even though there’s more guns in the hands of more people and were a safer society than we’ve ever been in modern history. Matter of fact if we remove the 5 cities with the most gun control and gun laws in America...America is just as safe as any other 1st world country out there. So let’s talk about why there’s an uptick in mass shootings.
