FULL TITLE:

Dem Strategist: ‘I Cannot Imagine the Horror That Could’ve Occurred’ if Churchgoers Were Armed During Charleston Massacre

Longtime Democratic strategist Bob Shrum said on MSNBC Friday that he “cannot imagine the horror that could’ve unfolded” if churchgoers were armed during the recent massacre in Charleston, South Carolina.

((snip))

“I cannot imagine the horror that could’ve occurred if people were sitting around with concealed weapons, this thing started and you had a full-scale gunfight,” Shrum said Friday. “You might not even have three survivors.”

And there would still have been a victim or two

Yes, there would be. But wouldn't that mean there would be at least 7 fewer families mourning the loss of their loved ones?

Let’s be honest.

OK, why don't we? Had someone in that room, just one person been armed, they might possibly have saved as many as 8 lives. Honest.

As a dirt-bag shot up the Clackamas Mall in Oregon, 2012, a Ccw carrier was drawing a bead on him. The guy saw movement behind the perp, so didn’t fire. The DB ducked into a store and offed himself.

The shooters always seem to stop when someone else shows up with a gun.

It would be horrible if they didn’t have their killings to promote their agenda. Just horrible.

The left needs a certain level of violence in this country. They are willing to accept a certain level of killing to further their political agenda.

Of course they do. The victims aren't even buried yet and the Marxist Kenyan and his cohorts are in full swing trying to exploit this tragedy to further their anti-gun agenda.

I heard the little turd re-loaded five times.

Did he have 5 clips pre-loaded and just snapped them in?

Or did he re-load five times from scratch.

In any case, how long does it take to re-load?

And why didn't somebody jump him manually during the process?

So everybody would have killed everybody else?

Well, yeah. You know when an evil gun starts killing, it can't stop.

Somebody must think that the end of “Wanted” was real where 1 bullet kills everybody in the room.

Essentially, Shrum is calling these church members complete morons.

Those with no sense of self control can’t imagine that a number of armed congregationalists could keep from spraying rounds from every which way. Definitely don’t want them armed and around when the SHTF - they’d probably try to kill the good guys so they could grovel in front of their new masters....

“I cannot imagine the horror that could’ve occurred if people were sitting around with concealed weapons, this thing started and you had a full-scale gunfight,”

You know if a conservative said something like this, it would considered racist simply because the racebaiters would claim we think blacks are too stupid to handle guns and would randomly start shooting anything that moved...

Oy, that was Bob Shrum who said that? As I thought, he’s an imbecile in good standing.

Bob Shrum: "I Cannot Imagine the Horror That Could’ve Occurred" (if Churchgoers Were Armed During Charleston Massacre)

Easily the absolute dumbest comment yet on this tragic incident.
Bob Shrum is a damned laughable fool, who must believe that an armed church goer would not have limited his target to the just perp.
It's the only possible explanation for this asinine, absurd, jackass comment.

Ignorance is a terrible thing. Schrum is an ignorant fool. If some of those folks had been armed one or two shots and that little vermin would have been dead. End of gunplay.
