    That is one of the problems the left has, their obsession with race. Just like Obama, you take advantage of a tragedy to push your political agenda of hate.

    Oh, I understand context. If a lefty says it, it is just care and concern for the country, if a righty says it, it is racism and extremism. Right out of the delusional left wing playbook.

    Blaming the gun. So what don't you understand.

    Oh yeah what?
    What don't you get?
    The point is obvious if one doesn't have an ideological or political ax to grind.

    I once knew somebody who was killed in a church shooting. I've carried for years and haven't gone to church without it since. Nobody knows except my closest friends and many of them carry. I've hugged hundreds of people at church over the years and nobody has ever known about my gun. If a gunman comes into my church, he'll have to figure out how many people are armed and where they are before one of us shoots him. That's how it should be.

    No, various factions of gunmen having shoot outs in church is not how it should be. The fact that anybody is even considering such a thing tells you just how far away from how things should be we've fallen in terms of guns in this country. Even in places like portions of Mexico that the cartels control, nobody thinks they need to bring a gun to church. Why do you think things are so out of control here that we have an arms race going on in church? What do you think we could do to stop that?

    He may not have specifically blamed the guns but he did blame Republicans for thwarting unreasonable gun control laws which he championed. He politicized the tragedy before the murderer was apprehended.

    Incremental gun banning is precisely what these unreasonable laws are about.

    No arms race in that church, against the law there to bring a gun into a church in that State.

    Right, I'm responding to Texan's argument that we should have an arms race in church.

    You mean self protection against the Millennials. Most of these white shooters have been Millennial young men, born after 1980, most often on some kind of mood altering drugs. I don't know what is going on with them but it would probably be a good thing to figure out.

    As a proud gun owner myself I found nothing unreasonable at all about the Manchin Tooney bill. It was common sense. Common sense is frowned upon by the NRA though.

    separation of church and state, the gov can not tell the church they can't allow guns, that would be unconstitutional and they would win if they fought it

    I find it ironic that a gun owner supports a bill (actually an amendment to a bill) that would do nothing to stop any crime and supports unconstitutional federal overstep of States rights.

    Well, this one certainly couldn't have made it any clearer what his problem is. He was overtly white supremacist, he went to a black church famous for its civil rights history, he told the black people there that he came to kill black people, he said it was because he believed they rape white women and are taking over the country, and then he proceeded to kill nine black people.

    Yes. One person. I kind of doubt she has the power to confiscate guns by herself.
