But they did not. Not enough information/facts yet to make claims like that. Always jumping to conclusions are we. har… Could be they were all trained at the same range and by the man who put the perp down.

In his own words. The church had a trained security team. They were on him as soon as he walked in the church.

So in the US you need a trained security team now also in churches and not only in schools and other public spaces to defend yourself. What happened to the well regulated militia mentioned in the 2nd amendment?

“If more guns and fewer gun laws made Texas safer, it would be the safest state in the US. Instead, it has high rates of gun suicide and homicide, and is home to 4 of the 10 deadliest mass shootings.”

When I worked in Northcliffe Hse & Carmelite Hse in 72, it was a newspaper not a "girlie" mag. Are you sure you're not thinking of one of Paul Raymond's rags?

Either way, I doubt it has a reporter in White Settlement, Texas so they are just republishing a news wire story. Likely source a fellow parishioner who got the law enforcement agency the gentleman worked for wrong.

In 2016, the overall rate of death by firearms in the United States was 11.8[1] per 100,000 people — the same as for death by motor vehicles — with suicides accounting for roughly two out of every three gun deaths.

“If more guns and fewer gun laws made Texas safer, it would be the safest state in the US. Instead, it has high rates of gun suicide and homicide, and is home to 4 of the 10 deadliest mass shootings.”

Mrs Watts and the other 'Moms' should probably check their facts a little more closely........
....or focus equal attention on banning motor vehicles.......

As should you. According to your own stats, a mass shooting is only considered if 4 or more are killed. So...
...your meme is fake. :-)

Soooo.........you are suggesting this would not have been a mass shooting(4 or more) had not the madman been stopped in mid-crime?

That type of reasoning is silly beyond response.

Thank for confirming that your authorities are beyond reason. It's their reasoning not mine. Have a nice new year. :-)

Yes. Thank the almighty God that protect Americans with guns. But I don't understand why there are so many mass shootings in the US though. Make no sense. No sense at all since all these mass shootings is not about self defense.

More guns will help this ... https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2020/01/02/SC-deer-hunting-accident-kills-father-9-year-old-daughter/3871577994797/?ts_=4
It's getting pretty bad when a person can't tell the difference between a human and a deer (even worse if they were firing blind). :-(

Would not be surprised is booze was involved. Speaking of which with the comparison between drunk driving and guns that so many NRA types want to make, then being in possession of a gun while intoxicated should be a felony.
