The tragic church shootings recently have fueled new rounds of gun control proposals from the left. I've engaged in a couple of those discussions, but they usually come back to the idea that "only if" we had fewer guns would these tragedies be stopped.
As Michelle Malkin points out, what stopped the gunman was an armed security guard.
I haven't seen the leftosphere tackling this fact and don't really expect to. What you do see are comments like this one:
Is anyone else really annoyed that the coverage of the shootings in CO Sunday default to the first victems were defacto "good" because they we missionary or in missionary training, as if one could not be religious and "bad" or even unthinkly hurtful? It is as if these people could never do anything to enrage an unbalanced person and thereby deserve to be shot, implying unlike others who are less godly.
It's hard for me to understand this level of cynicism, but maybe that's because, as a Christian, I understand that no one is "good." That doesn't stop me from feeling sorry for anyone who is injured or killed in these events.
The guard, Jeanne Assam, says "God guided and protected me."
Evidently, the gunman, who was carrying 1,000 rounds of ammunition, "hated Christians," which might explain some of the "good people" stuff complained about by the moonbat quoted above.
