I back Charles Cotton’s opinion 150%...
This is nothing but the usual, and expected backwash, from anyone not falling into line with the usual race pimping mouthpieces...
Funny how the S.C. legislator is a republican...Not surprising...Now the fire is getting close to the fuel...
I personally hate it when someone puts blame on the victim. It was the gunman’s fault.. in its entirely... If someone wants to put “partial” blame (a smaller %) on the room mate who knew this guy was planning this attack and he did nothing/said nothing.. that seems fair. But to suggest a person’s political opinion caused their murder is just wrong. IMHO.
No, he did not BLAME HIM FOR THE SHOOTING he just pointed out the FACT that he could have defended himself from the shooting if he had a concealed carry weapon, but he was against that type of thing.
Far cry from BLAMING HIM for the shooting.
BTW, I feel the media is misrepresenting Charles on his position...
It is kinda obvious, it is designed to deflect from the real solution to the issue...
And Charles knows I have the ability to put an interesting perspective on incidents like this, because of the things I said in my last post, before this one...
Charles is a great guy, he is in my opinion the epitome of being an Ambassador to the Second Amendment...
He has worked tirelessly for years since he was a direct part of drafting and getting the Texas CHL law passed 20 years ago, and he and many others, including myself, have been working to tweek the laws of this state, and influencing other states to do the same on this issue...
It would go unsaid, I do not believe, he meant any malice or disrespect of the “victims” of this criminal act...
The act itself is yet another example of the decline in the general, social decline of the value of human life...
And those that do carry a firearm for lawful, self-defensive purposes, should not be considered the problem, we are in cases like this, if we are in that position...
The Solution...
He’s RIGHT. The guy was hoisted by his own petard.
Our pastor is always armed here in PA, along with several members of the congregation. If someone came into our church intending a large slaughter, they wouldn’t get any further than killing one or two people.
It is a simple fact. Just like it is a simple fact that if you have a kitchen fire and never prepared for that possibility by having a fire extinguisher, people can rightly say that it was too bad you didn’t have one and the whole house burned down.
The pastor is not to blame. The murderer is to blame.
AP found an NRA board member who violated a cultural taboo, and it makes headline news...
Who would have thought it!
AP has been rabidly anti-second amendment and anti-constitutional for decades.
Did kinda come back and bite the good pastor on the ass, didn’t it.
Blame is a word of a liberal. How about he pointed out the obvious, that someone with a concealed carry in that church could have saved lives.
That’s like blaming the hot skanky gal for flaunting herself at and crawling all over some drunk guy at a bar and she is shocked she got raped. If churches and schools continue to wave neon flashing gun free signs in evil monsters’ faces, they wouldn’t be targeted. The pastor failed to protect his flock by not carrying. That said, bottom line, it was the killer’s fault.
“God may have made men, but Samuel Colt made them equal”;
I wonder about that. They have do do more than just carry - they have to have the WILL to defend themselves. The reports of this shooting tell of the victims pleading with Roof to stop as he reloaded FIVE FRIGGIN TIMES! What am I missing here? My God, even someone with a pocket knife could have attacked the guy while he was distracted. Bare hands even - swarm the guy.
God knows, I feel for the families, but what has happened to the people in this country when they mill around bleating like sheep instead of being all over that lunatic.
