Thankfully this happened in texas where right to carry laws means any shooter in a public space isnt likely to get very far.
@freemo You are baiting me and others, but arming the population is not working so well in US of A, is it?
Second Amendment was made at the time of Revolutionary War.
An armed populace, specially with full access to mil spec, assault weaponry?
I would prefer to live in a place without such. The fact people stopped this criminal is good, but tp think that so many are armed inside a church. Unholy.
all my opinions, of course, everyone has them, and we differ on this. Most countries do not allow an armed citizenry, and that hasn't deterred protest and political change when things are not agreeable to the people.
@design_RG And the other point. America isnt armed because of the need for protest or politicial change. We are armed for 2 reasons:
1) to prevent people like hitler, which as we've seen the european policy of banning an armed citizen has a worse track record than America, so it would appear American's tactic is more effective.
2) To reduce overall violence. In this regard it is also effective, as the numbers seem to suggest (banning guns shows a distinct increase in overall homicide and violent crimes around the world).
