And yes, I find it singularly interesting how the press has reported "the news" about what they found at the kook gunman's home.
What also interests me? Unitarians have always been liberal. There's nothing new with that. But what's a peace-loving Unitarian doing packing heat to a church for a children's performance?
Unitarians do not support 2nd amendment rights, as a rule.
I'm very glad some were armed and could stop the shooter, nonetheless.
Just yesterday spoke with a veteran of the 101st, Normandy Invasion; he's on the picture wall at the Airborne museum.
Assuredly there are simply kooks out there; but this kook sounds more like a leftwing kook; doesn't sound like standard 101st, nor conservative.
They gang-tackled him.
They tackled him as he tried to reload. They were not armed. If the guy who first confronted him as he came into the church *had been* armed, he might still be alive, and the lady who died almost certainly would be. The injured would not be injured. Even if the first guy only slowed him down, and others had been armed, the toll would have been much lower, except the toll of attackers, which would stand at 1.
