Top Democrat advisor ‘cannot imagine the horror’ if S.C. churchgoers were armed

It’s hard to imagine how the massacre at the Emanuel AME Church that left nine dead could have been worse, but a top Democratic strategist says the shooting would have been a “horror” if the black parishioners were armed.

“Now I cannot imagine the horror that could have occurred if people were sitting around with concealed weapons, this thing started, and you have a full-scale gunfight,” said Democratic advisor Bob Shrum on Friday’s episode of MSNBC’s “The Ed Show.”

“You might not even have three survivors,” said Mr. Shrum, a top campaign aide to now-Secretary of State John Kerry during his failed 2004 presidential bid.

Liberals certainly don't live in the same dimension I do.

One of the columns comments.

...Said another commenter: “I can tell you what would have happened; instead of 9 dead there might have been 1, maybe 2 people dead before the shooter was taken out.”

Yes, and we wouldn't have what will sure to be a long, drawn out trial with demands for gun control from the drive-bys every day.

No...
We actually do have precedence for this and the ending is a better one.

What a moron!

A gunfight requires two sides. Once the perp is shot, there is no opposing side. Game over.

I totally know. Imagine having two dead (one being Roof) instead of 9 parishioners. Oh the horror!

The perp would have tried to find a different gun free zone to make his statement.

What that leftist is actually saying is that if there had been someone armed in that church it would have totally destroyed the left’s ability to try to ban guns in this country which is what they want..remember, just like Adolf Hitler once said, the only way to control the people is to disarm them. If there had just been ONE security guard at the door of this church with a handgun, this Roof madman would have turned around and WALKED AWAY. Originally his plan was to shoot up a local college but he decided not to, why, because they had SECURITY

Does he really believe the church goers would shoot at each other, like a Hollywood bar brawl?
Reality is weak in this one.

Liberals today appear to be abject physical cowards. I suspect many of them are the same people who I saw on weeping the campus of the college I was attending when the Selective Service finally announced that student deferments would no longer be given for new grad school admissions. It was amazing to see the sons of the generations who fought WW2 and Korea/Cold War to, in so many cases, be such pansies. But look at how week some of the parents were. After all Robert S. McNamara who was an LTC in the USAAF in the big war couldn't summon the guts to tell his privileged son who was attending Stanford but home for the summer , to take the Viet Cong flag off his bedroom wall if he wanted dad to keep on signing those tuition and housing checks. The fact that Robert Strange didn't have the guts to do this just because he was directing men to go in harm's way every day in Viet Nam while his self indulgent son openly displayed his hatred and contempt for those same men tells you a lot about the parents of people such as Schrum and liberals in general.

A horror show for Shrum, perhaps, as his narrative on gun control would have been shot to hell.

Is this the same Bob Shrum who was the wholly inept campaign manager for various Democrat presidential candidates who lost?

So in essence youre saying black people are incapable of properly handling firearms.

Bob Shrum has neither smiled nor set foot in any church in the last forty years.

What a sad little apple he is.

Do they mean it? Or are they lying to further their agenda?

Is it truly a different universe they exist in?

And how can we live with them?

What gun battle is he imagining?

Also Bob Shrum does not want to have means to defend his own self then?
