FLASHBACK: Biden Called Texas Governor 'Irrational' for Allowing Guns in Places of Worship

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden criticized the Governor of Texas for signing a bill that allows law-abiding Texans to defend themselves with firearms in places of worship. On Sunday, an armed man stopped a gunman in Texas after the gunman opened fire during church services.

The shooting happened as parishioners took part in communion at the West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas. It's been reported that one person was pronounced dead at the scene, another died en route to the hospital and another remains in critical condition.

Service was being livestreamed at the moment the gunman opened fire with a shotgun and was quickly taken out by an armed citizen. The video is below.

Joe Biden recently told reporters that it was "irrational" to allow law-abiding worshipers to defend themselves in church.

"With all due respect to the governor of Texas," Biden began, "it is irrational what they're doing. On the very day you see a mass shooting ... and we're talking about loosening access to have guns, to be able to take them into places of worship ... I mean it's just absolutely irrational. It's totally irrational."

To have such an idiot to run for President is totally irrational.

Though we’ve done it once before with Bammy.

Been a couple of days now. I guess I missed the reporters rushing to get in front of Joe and ask him “if he still feels this in view of recent events”.

Biden has NEVER been right on anything in his life!
The media have been covering up his bungling and mis-statements. Heck, he doesn’t even know what state he is in half the time.

For almost all Liberals and leftists it is better that twenty people die in that church than that a churchgoer be armed and shoot back. The shooter is not rational because he is a victim of society and therefore must not be blamed for anything. The defending shooter is rational performing a rational act. He is therefore deliberately killing a human being and should be punished for that heinous act. the argument that when guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns is actually answered in the liberal mind with - and that is how it should be. Murderers, especially mass murderers should be offered re-education and therapy, not bearrested and put in prison.

The left uses mass shootings for their narrative. A good guy putting an azzhole down doesn’t fit. Notice no news about who or what he was or about. I don’t think GOD minds if I carry in Church. So I’ll to carry everywhere.

Pond scum is still scum. According to Slow Joe, TX was “irrational” to keep all the people in the White Settlement church alive.

If he had it his way, they wouldn’t be alive today. Geez.

Biden ought to know that in his own state lots of people are legally carrying arms in the churches. They are just another business like a club or department store or Burger King. No restrictions other than being licensed for CCDW. Open carry is understood.

Been going on for years. When is the last time you heard of a shooting in a Delaware worship center? A person trying that would be really stupid.

Like Biden.

In addition to fondling little girls and asking children to play with the hair on his legs, Biden steal oxygen and exhales treason.

Biden is a Communist puppet. His mouth moves, but Soros pulls the strings.

In my church I know of at least four armed parishioners during Sunday services including myself. There are probably more of whom I do not know.

You could come into my church and kill a few people before being quickly killed.
