Breaking news is often broken news.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why I waited for some facts to come out before commenting on the latest mass murder, by a 21 year old white supremacist in South Carolina.\u00a0 Early reports had us wondering what kind of crazy father would give a gun to a young man known to be troubled; turns out he bought it himself with his birthday money.\u00a0 The prohibitionists are using this as an excuse for universal background checks; turns out this monster PASSED such a background check.<\/p>\n
The church where the atrocity took place was apparently a gun-free zone. Its pastor, one of the victims, had publicly spoken against lawful concealed carry. In that state, a gun can only be carried in a house of worship with the approval of the church authorities, which clearly wouldn\u2019t have been granted in this case.\u00a0 In the days since the incident, we\u2019ve learned that the killer had first planned to carry out his mass murder at the College of Charleston. What might have dissuaded him? Well, maybe when he scoped it out he saw a campus police car, like the one that appears so conspicuously here: http:\/\/publicsafety.cofc.edu\/<\/a>.\u00a0 The history of mass murderers is that they prefer helpless victims. That\u2019s just what this monster found inside the peaceful, unarmed church, proving yet again that \u201cgun-free zones\u201d have become hunting preserves for psychopaths who stalk human prey.<\/p>\n Pro-self-defense attorney Charles Cotton was excoriated by the prohibitionists after stating that if some of the parishioners might have been armed, many innocent lives could have been spared in this incident. They claimed he was blaming the victims. That\u2019s a crock of crap. I\u2019ve met Charles Cotton, heard him speak, and am convinced he\u2019s absolutely right.\u00a0 Compare the recent horror story with another mad dog killer who opened fire in another church with a largely African-American congregation.<\/p>\n Convicted criminal Kiarron Parker, 29, opened fire at the New Destiny Christian Center in Aurora, Colorado on April 22, 2012.\u00a0 He shot and killed the pastor\u2019s mother. She was the only victim, because an armed member of the congregation drew his own concealed handgun and shot the killer dead, ending his rampage.\u00a0 It happened almost three months to the day before the notorious mass murder in a theater in the same city, now being tried in court, but the media has chosen the entire time to ignore the rescue at the Aurora church. \u00a0A more comprehensive list of armed Good Guys stopping armed Bad Guys can be found here: http:\/\/americanhandgunner.com\/the-false-hope-of-gun-free-zones\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n
