Stephen Willeford's heroic actions last Sunday saved many lives at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. The killer, Devin Kelley, was shooting the wounded when Willeford showed up with a rifle. Willeford's quick actions forced Kelley to stop his attack, presumably saving the lives of the twenty wounded and possibly many more.

The press derided President Trump for saying that Willeford saved many lives with his gun, and that stricter gun control regulations would have only made things worse.

It is only too bad that someone with a concealed handgun permit wasn't already at the church. We may never have heard of the shooting — national news stories are virtually never done on permit holders stopping mass public shootings.


An article at Fox News this past week mentions four such cases. It talks about a 1997 shooting at a high school in Pearl, Mississippi; a 2007 church attack in Colorado Springs; and a Chicago Uber driver who in 2015 shot and wounded a man who opened fire on a crowd. The most recent case was a 2017 church shooting in Antioch, Tennessee. But those cases just skim the surface.

A 2014 FBI report claims that only once between 2000 and 2013 did a concealed handgun permit holder stop a public shooting (they claimed to look at all cases where guns were fired in public that weren't part of a gang fight or some other crime). This single case occurred in Winnemucca, Nevada in May 2008, when a customer with a permit fatally shot an attacker who had just killed two people. They didn't even include the 2007 church shooting in Colorado Springs, where a killer had already taken two lives at the church before being stopped by a permit holder.

Multiple stories about institutions encouraging attendees to go to training sessions for providing security at religious and other events. First reports are they are OVERBOOKED and running more.

This has been debated for years, it appears that common sense might be setting in. I'm Catholic, and its nice to put your trust in God, but there are just too many whacko's out there to take a chance. The old saying "PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE AMMUNITION" comes to mind, although in a slightly different context. And especially in this case, TRUMP is right again, I M H O !
 
The good guys with guns need to be there when bad guys with guns start shooting. Of course - that's really tough when these wackos mainly want to start shooting in gun-free zones. Unlike criminals and terrorists - good guys by nature pay attention to laws. Gun-free zones are the soft targets that bad guys like. They are terribly afraid of anybody that's going to fight back.

Criminals and terrorists like defensless and helpless people - just like the Democrap politicians do. I've just about decided that a bunch of these Democraps politicians are actually terrorists - because you know full well that most of them are criminals anyway. And if they aren't terrorists themselves - they are certainly terrorist enablers and sympathizers.

The simple truth of the matter is that we NEED more good guys with guns - CARRYING GUNS EVERYDAY.
