At least 16 people have been shot inside a Texas church after a gunman opened fire during the Sunday morning service.  

The shooting happened at the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, where around 50 people usually attend service, according to local reports.  

Witnesses said a man 'in full gear' walked inside the church and opened fire just before 10.30am.

Neighbors in the area said they may have heard the shooter reload multiple times. 

Another witness at the scene said a two-year-old was also shot in the attack.

According to KSAT, there were at least six helicopters called in to transport victims to the hospital. 

It's unclear if anyone was fatally wounded in the attack.

While I’m on my little rant, see post 500, I want to point out how News media (they are not journalists) are using twitter statements to push their agendas. The Chelsea Handler and Wil Wheaton anti gun quotes isn’t news, they are just a way to stir up controversy which ultimately add to the media’s revenue stream.

As a start, the safe use and deterrent qualities of having an armed citizenry is never mentioned. The fact is owning weapons is our constitutional right and it also keeps the gov’t, which is supposed to serve us, from becoming a tyranny.

While Fox news may be the least extreme of the ‘fake news’ organizations (Ahem, fair and balanced?). They care not for most of the genuine people, or the general population. So! I maybe wouldn’t call them chicken sh_ts, but I think they have a lot of hen house ways.

Thanks for the link. Great article!

‘With the evidence of reckless endangerment of both Americans and Mexicans piling up, at what point will Congress take the gloves off and turn up the heat?’

Better question: When will Sessions go after this nightmarish program and send a couple of the kingpins to prison?

Cue ‘The Twelfth of Never.’

First of all, for someone with "editor" in their name, your grammar is terrible.

Second, it was a domestic situation. And he purchased the guns from a sporting goods store. My initial hunch was pretty much 100% correct.

So, be quiet.

You need to be quiet, since what you “know” is not
knowable.

It was not just a “domestic situation.”

The perp could not legally purchase a weapon; he was a military felon.

It is now also known that he was an “Antifa” proponent and his actions were announced on social media prior to perpetration.

Get real or get lost.

Fake News media are actively covering for the fact that the perp was Antifa, a military felon, and a habitual wife and child beater.

For this of course, we must ban all private weapons.

The Vegas a-hole apparently was not registered to vote at all.

But I’m still not sure he wasn’t ISIS, they did claim him, they aren’t in the habit taking responsibility for attacks they didn’t do, asfaik.

Check this out

“Stephen Paddock usually kept a cigar at hand, even though he didn’t smoke. But he was quick to notice when somebody sat down beside him and lit up.

Then Paddock, a denizen of hazy casinos, would take out his cigar, light it and carefully aim its smoke back into the faces of those whose puffing annoyed him.

“He was the king of microaggression,” said his brother, Eric.”

It’s as if the Las Vegas shooting has been erased.

That mentality: I’ve known life forms like that. The world rejoices when they assume room temperature.

"They don’t have “mass-shootings” over there."

Maybe not Poland, but there are 10 European nations that have more people killed in "mass shootings" than the USA.

Crime Prevention Research Center

The biggest difference between mass shootings in the USA and in Europe is that here, the shooters generally use semi-auto rifles and pistols. In Europe they use illegal, fully-automatic weapons. Remember the shooting at the camp in Norway, the Charlie Hebdo shooting, the Paris concert hall shootings? All done with full-auto weapons.

Don't buy into the lie that it's worse here than anywhere else in the world. We're better than much of Europe, and that's not even getting into the uncivilized world...Central and South America, Africa, parts of Asia (remember the massacre not to long ago of tourists at a resort in the Philippines?), etc. Better yet, when you hear some loony Leftist a-hole trying to spread their bullshi'ite vomit, hit 'em with the facts. Someone who can be won over to the truth is sure to be listening.
