Yeah, I don’t know much about Charleston, but if it was the raping of his women that he was worried about, I’d bet a dime to a donut that none of that was going on in that church.

The state senator also opposed allowing guns in churches.

Once again, a “gun free zone” did not prevent the murderer from killing innocent people, but it did prevent those innocent people from being allowed to defend themselves.

South Carolina legislators who passed this law should be recognized (if not charged) as co-conspirators in the church murders.
