In the fantasy world inhabited by progressives, passing laws to restrict gun ownership and the carrying of firearms prevents violence. The precise opposite is the truth, as demonstrated convincingly by John Lott, whose research led him to change his position on gun control once he discovered the facts. His book More Guns Less Crime is required reading for anyone who wants to be honest about preventing the death of innocent Americans.
Yet the two coastal states that regard themselves as smarter and more sophisticated than the denizens of flyover country refuse to acknowledge this truth and maintains laws the restrict or even prohibit gun ownership and the bearing of arms in public places.
Worshippers in a suburb of Fort Worth, Texas heroically demonstrated the wisdom of our Founders and the superiority of Texas-style governance yesterday when an attempt was made to slaughter a large number of people at the West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement (can you imagine a pair of names more likely to elicit scorn from elitists?). Armed parishioners fought back and shot the gunman dead before he was able to slaughter more than two of them. NBCDFW reports:
Two parishioners and the gunman are dead after a shooting at a White Settlement church Sunday, officials say.
The shooting was reported at about 11 a.m. at the West Freeway Church of Christ in the 1900 block of South Las Vegas Trail.
During the service, a man went in and fired a weapon. Two church members, who were members of the parish's security team, returned fire and killed the shooter, who was pronounced dead at the scene, White Settlement Police Chief J.P. Bevering said.
You can watch the attack take place and be quelled here:

In the Sutherland Springs church shooting, the shooter was the only one inside the church who was armed. There was no one to stop the shooter until he went outside and a neighboring homeowner forced the shooter to flee when he started firing at him with an AR-15.
"Last year, a mentally disturbed man entered a Baptist church in my hometown of Sutherland Springs and opened fire. I live across the street, and when my daughter told me there was a shooter and I heard the shots myself, I fell back on my years of NRA training, grabbed my AR-15, and ran across the street to engage the shooter. People say I saved lives that day. I hope that's true. I did what the Lord called me to do."

Like Jack Wilson said, evil does exist in this world. Thank God that there are also some heroes.
But how about those anti-gums ads Bloomy is running down there.
Perp? Covered from head to foot is black. I don’t think I need an explanation of motive.
Not only are we smarter, we are also better shots.
New Yorkers voted for Cuomo and the worst NY City mayor evah!
Anybody is smarter than a New Yorker.

Of course evil exists in this world. It is why we have thousands and thousands of laws. If we all followed the main 10, we would not need much more. Lol.
