A good guy with a gun saves dozens of lives, the corrupt media yawns. – When a bad guy with a gun entered a Church of Christ sanctuary during Sunday morning service yesterday, he thought he’d have easy pickings. Well over 200 Christian parishioners were in attendance, and he no doubt figured he would be able to hang around for as long as he wanted and to basically name his score of victims.
The one thing this scumbag did not account for, however, was the presence of good guys with guns in the building, one of whom shot and killed him shortly after he began shooting. And good Texas gals with guns as well. Indeed in the breakdown of the video of the shooting, you can see that no fewer than seven people present, including two security guards, drew down on the perpetrator when he opened fire:
Rathdranalon @Daicheal Some anon broke down the footage from the shooting at the Texas church earlier on and no less than seven of the congregation members happened to be armed including one elderly lady (no. 5).
Ain't no messing around down that way by the looks of things.

The hilarious comedian Ron White had this great line about Texas and Texans:
“If you kill somebody in Texas, Texas will kill you back.”
On Sunday morning in White Settlement, Texas, Texans killed back a monster who had killed two of their own. This result was made possible by the concealed carry laws in Texas, which allow licensed citizens to carry concealed firearms into most public places, including churches. To emphasize that key point even more, the security guard responsible for taking the killer down (pictured below) has been identified as a local man named Jack Wilson, who happens to be a licensed firearms instructor.
The police in White Settlement, a small suburb of Fort Worth, have thus far chosen not to make the identity of the gunman public, which is great. Let’s hope they never name the degenerate scumbag – he doesn’t merit the attention or infamy. It’s a shame that law enforcement officials in other cities where these attacks happen don’t take the same approach, since infamy is what these people are seeking.
Of course, our corrupt news media outside of Fox News and the local news outlets in the Dallas/Fort Worth area barely chose to report on this incident. That’s not just because the number of those dead remained blessedly low, but also because of the very fact that the outcome of the incident highlights the undeniable value of concealed carry laws and of having armed security onsite at churches, schools and other public places.
Regional Director of Texas Department of Public Safety Jeoff Williams emphasized just how important those farcors were in saving lives, when he said this to the assembled press:
“The citizens who were inside that church undoubtedly saved 242 other parishioners.”
Yes, they did. But those factors do not fit the prevailing anti-gun Democrat/media narrative, thus relegating this event to something to be avoided by the corrupt editors and reporters at the national media outlets.
It must be a truly miserable existence to work inside a dying “news” operation that considers its overarching job to be creating and maintaining a false reality for an ever-diminishing audience.
God bless the people of White Settlement, and the families of those who were lost or injured in this heinous act.
That is all.
“Well, Norman Mailer, he had an interesting theory that he used to explain the strange coincidences in the aftermath of the JFK assasination. In the wake of huge events, after them and before them, physical details they spasm for a moment; they sort of unlock and when they come back into focus they suddenly coincide in a weird way. Street names and birthdates and middle names, all kind of superfluous things appear related to eachother. It’s a ripple effect. So, what does it mean? Well... it means something’s going to happen. Something big. But then, something’s always about to happen.”
-Tony Burgess
That Church was blessed...
Interesting viewpoint.
Made me look up what “Evangelical” means so as to double-check my understanding of same.
If that law existed in my State it would be worth fighting. I would NOT want to attend a 'gun free zone' Church.
unfortunately we have a school at our church and currently the law still says that it’s a school ground even on sunday in North Carolina. They are trying to get it changed to fix this issue in the legislature.
“ It must be a truly miserable existence to work inside a dying “news” operation that considers its overarching job to be creating and maintaining a false reality for an ever-diminishing audience.”
.... miserable indeed.
Your #5: Very coincidental? I think not.
Don’t count on 7 armed folks willing to stand up and take care of business in, say, Austin.
Carry in church or carried by six. Breaking the law seems preferable.
You just broke the simulation.
Now if Texas will move to Constitutional Carry, we will be even better off..........
Incontrovertible graphic proof that citizen carry works.
The bad guys clothing looks middle eastern in the video.
In Europe, they attack Catholic churches.
In the southern US, bad guys would very likely encounter well armed Hispanic Catholics and equally armed Redneck Baptists. One might guess Episcopal members would be the last armed. Synagogues might need to consider the safety issue after so many attacks especially in the northern states.
It’ll be interesting to hear what his motive may have been in choosing this particular church or religion. Could be he was out to get one particular person or thought a C of C wouldn’t be armed or something else.
The problem is if you get caught somehow carrying illegally, you can loose your permit forever.
Stupid laws need to be changed, not ignored except as a last resort.
If you get caught before. If you get caught after. At least you and your family are live. Dead is a last resort.
Baptists are about the same, except musical instruments in church. And, of course, only members go to Heaven. (That’s weird.)
We had no dancing, no shorts (or slacks for women), baptism by immersion, no movies, no card plalying. (NO FUN.)
Negative. The perp fires twice with his shotgun, the good guy fires once and drops him instantly.
Which democrat is paying for these mass shooters?
My bad, white guy in a trench coat and fake beard.
