Totally agree 2 by 4. I am thrilled the way it worked out. I certainly don’t want any more innocent people killed.

This one incident doesn’t make the case and unfortunately distracts from real solutions.

The left's only suggestion has been to disarm all the law-abiding so they can't shoot back.

A true professional with formal training would have had their weapon drawn and ready, but would have been directing the barrel downwards, not in the direction of fellow parishioners.
No other shots were fired by anyone in that pressure cooker of a situation (other than the two shots which hit the perpetrator). And there were multiple weapons drawn among the parishioners.

I watched the same video you watched and it's very difficult to see exactly where other people's weapons are aiming from one angle by the way.

When someone says we should arm everyone, let us know. Thanks.

By the way, where were the police when this incident happened?

What's your suggestion, they hug the gunman?

Only one thing stops mass shooters, an opposing gun.

The perp used a shotgun. Will shotguns now be added to the "assault weapons" list?
