Never forget the mass shooting that was averted by an armed prisoner in a church in Florida a few years ago. At least I believe it was in Florida. These gun grabbers are evil. Do there part to disarm America and bring in the NWO.

The answer is obvious: yes he does want Christians to be sitting ducks in churches.

Curious why he didn’t say mosques?

Or, the Texas partitioner who took out a shooter with a shot to the head from across the room.

But that’s because his life is so much more important than yours mine. He is an important elected official! The people of Connecticut are depending on him to be in office to protect them.

I think there was one in Texas too.

I know several CC holders who bring to church everyweek!

The schools need not to be gun free zones for the same reason as churches. Someone HAS to be able to shoot back!

Tell that to the Pilgrims and they were known to take the Bible very seriously.

Who are you to even pretend to decide that on behalf of the churches?

The churches can ban guns in their church - foolish as that might be - but you have no basis for doing it on their behalf and against their will.

Since no government agent will be checking parishioners prior to entering, I’ll just keep carrying as I always have.

Means I will have to carry illegally because I am not going around unarmed.

Not the first time.
