Bitter Clingers in Texas Shoot Back

The reason the Founders put the Second Amendment in the Constitution, the document Democrats and liberals selectively embrace or read things into when convenient, was seen last Sunday at the West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas, near Forth Worth where, dare we say it again, good guys with guns stopped a bad guy with a gun.

Note the plural is used here, for video footage shows at least seven guns were drawn with seconds of the killer opening fire on the parishioners inside, killing two. But only two, as a wider massacre was stopped by those who don’t believe in gun-free zones. Two of those who returned fires were armed security guards, you know, the people used to guard our money and our politicians, but whom our politicians won’t let protect our schoolchildren.

Both common sense and abject stupidity were on public display in the aftermath of the shooting:

The church’s senior minister, Britt Farmer, said at a news conference Sunday that the congregation lost “two great men today” but could have lost more if those at the church were unarmed.

“But it could’ve been a lot worse. I am thankful that our government has allowed us the opportunity to protect ourselves,” he said…

Law enforcement officials praised the members of the church’s security team for ending the attack within seconds. Tarrant County Sheriff Bill Waybourn told The Dallas Morning News that Sunday was “a horrific day in Tarrant County.”

“Today evil walked boldly among us,” he said. “But let me remind you, good people raised up and stopped it before it got worse.”

I think the pastor — who had been through an extreme trauma — may have been alluding to the law signed by Gov. Abbott allow firearms in church buildings.
