    It doesn't fit the GCA narrative.

    It is doubtful if the killer was thinking those thoughts when begot his gun, loaded it, put on his disguise, drove to the church, got out of his car, and walked into the church and sat down with his hidden load gun. He then made a conscious deliberate decision to get up, draw his weapon, and shoot a couple of people. He was not concerned about being killed in return. His victims did not choose to die; the killer chose them to die for his own beliefs. As I said before, he was very religious and saw his act as loving and not hateful.

    " The Texas gunman was a homeless drug addict with two ex-wives who chose to shoot up the church 'because he was very close to the Lord,' his sister said."

    The united states has significant levels of both poverty and corruption. The national debt is evidence of that.

    Thus confirming what has been stated since the very beginning. The firearm was not acquired in a legal fashion.

    My question for the government is if our guns are not available to protect you from "cowardly criminals" with guns can we file a lawsuit against the county and state for not protecting you? Actually looking to attack unarmed people like they have been doing on a bigger stage such as mass murdering totally innocent strangers they have no pass issue with not to mention the decades of cowards attacking and shooting people.I truthfully think if they made things right an allow "constitutional carry" everywhere that would be a huge deterrent for criminals to run wild and free like they have been doing cops are also human theirs only so much to expect plus shouldn't anybody decide if they live or die when they are attacked and how they survive that situation? The most violent places where it's basically mandatory to be armed such as Washington d.c,Baltimore,California,Chicago where 60 people were shot in one summer and last ,but not least crappy New York I'm from that I would not go unarmed.

    I have already provided a legal link about 2nd amendment limitations. If you want to beat and bleat there are none, feel free.

    Except for the fact that Heller does not specify exactly what these so-called limitations are, or what the extent of the legally allowable limitations are. Heller is nothing more than a starting point for discussion.

    However, the rulings of Miller, Heller, McDonald and most recently Caetano have done much to explain what the second amendment pertains to. It is a right to own firearms, for all legal purposes, unconnected with militia duties and/or related responsibilities, and it protects all firearms that are in common existence and availability, even if they are not of the type that existed during the ratification of the united states constitution.

    In truth, the four rulings read together, leave very little room for any firearm-related restrictions to withstand constitutional scrutiny.

    It's unlikely I would have been in a church, but it's also unlikely I would go to one unarmed. I'm armed everywhere I go. Glad so many Texans behave the same way.

    Seriously, there are weapon systems in private hands that would melt your eyebrows.

    What limitations are you talking about?

    Read the legal link. Are you stating there are no limitations to the 2nd, because the legal link states otherwise.

    Your initial argument was that "try buying a .50cal".

    They are readily available.

    Moving the goalposts again. smh...

    And furthermore that's what FPSRussia did, he bought whatever weapon he wanted. He had a tank. He had artillery pieces. He had flying drones equipped with a shotgun. Whatever he wanted.

    Sounds like you'd prefer the good guy with the gun wasn't there.

    Your side would like more bodies to further the agenda.

    You're right- it's tragic.

    Thankfully, there was a great man with a fire arm to save lives.
