Sikhs refuse to be disarmed. They are naturals to be recruited now as Second Amendment defenders. I'm actually surprised the shooter didn't get his throat slit by the men of the congregation.

The kirpan (/kɪərˈpɑːn/; Punjabi: ਕਿਰਪਾਨ kirpān) is a ceremonial sword or dagger carried by Sikhs. It is a religious commandment given by Guru Gobind Singh (the tenth Guru of Sikhism) at the Baisakhi Amrit Sanchar (a holy religious ceremony that formally baptizes a Sikh) in AD 1699, all baptised Sikhs (Khalsa) must wear a kirpan at all times

The Sacred Kirpan

Painting Depicting A British colonial incident which we cannot recount. The Kirpan is the sabre of the Sikhs. It symbolizes the command given by Guru Gobind Singh to the Sikhs enjoining them to remain fully armed at all times. We believe that the young Sikh lad was publicly flogged for refusing to take off his sabre in a “court of law”.

Only fools entrust the security of their bodies to governments. Or as wise people say: Stalin, Mao Tse Tung and Lenin love gun control (Civilians killed by Mao – 60 million, by Lenin – 5 million, by Stalin - 40 million). That is why the 2nd amendment to the constitution gave the people the inalienable right to be fully armed. As you can imagine there are more jackasses than wise men in this world."

One report did say that one of the victims had a bloody knife in his hand and had charged the shooter.

Have to pick nits -

The Constitution does not create or give rights; it recognizes pre-existing rights and proposes a form of government so instituted as to protect those rights.

By definition, the Constitution can be amended; if rights came from the Constitution, they would not be ‘inalienable’.
