He could have used a gun for sure. Faith didn't do him much good.

Only a gun can allow a 100 pound woman defend herself against a 250 pound man.

Yes, my solution to allow law abiding citizens to protect themselves from violent thugs is to be armed.

What's your solution to violent thugs?

Quick and simple question:

In this church, what stopped the maniac thug?

(Hint - an armed good guy)

Do you have fire insurance on your home out of fear?

If America dealt with every mass shooting this way the mass shooting epidemic would end over night. These psychos target gun free zones to inflict maximum carnage knowing there’s no one to shoot back. Knowing they’ll get a one shot across the room hollow point to the head instantly after starting their “claim to fame” shooting spree and get zero notoriety will really put a damper on things. I can almost guarantee there will be no more attempted mass shootings at Texas churches after this.

The video footage proves it. What an epic shot too btw.

Now if we can only get schools to understand this very effective way to end mass shootings once and for all.

Unfortunately this country needs to learn that not all problems are solved by shooting innocent people.

Innocent people should have the right to defend themselves.

Well, I was an Army Paratrooper, and hell yeah it was a need if you wanted to serve in an Airborne unit like I wanted very badly to do. Did I LIKE doing it? Not particularly, but I didn’t hate it either and yes I was terrified every time. You’re supposed to be.

So yes. I had a real NEED to overcome my fears. No way in hell would I have done it without that need.
