NRA board member blames Reverend Pinkney for the deaths of 8

I don't make this stuff up folks.

“Something else to consider: The pastor of this church, who was killed, is a State Legislator in S.C. And he voted against concealed-carry. Eight of his church members who might be alive if he had expressly allowed members to carry handguns in church are dead,” Cotton responded to the post on Thursday afternoon. “Innocent people died because of his position on a political issue.”​

Oh dear, did he SERIOUSLY go there? And if the pistol packer had been shot first, there goes that plan. These NRA guys need to be tarred, feathered, and marched through the town square for the ridicule and shame segment.

Absolutely mind blowing.

Remember who you're dealing with - the NRA is nothing more than the chief cheerleader for the gun manufacturers. Their solution to too many guns in the wrong hands is more guns so we can all participate in taking out the bad guys. At least, we hope they're bad guys.

 

The answer to a nation awash in guns?

Duh? MORE guns!!

 

Had one person had a concealed handgun...

Do you think he could have gotten all 9?

I don't.

Valid point as any.

Notice he chose a location where guns were likely not to be there to shoot back.

 

I am a lifetime member of the NRA, and a proud conservative, and I will cancel my membership and any further support if this POS isn't fired. People like him make me sick politicizing this tragedy within hours of it happening. Obama and other liberals are just as bad

 

I applaud you for your position with regards to the NRA guy.

But to suggest that Obama saying we're long overdue for taking a few common sense steps in order to keep guns out of the hands of kooks and criminals like Bowl Boy Roof is in any way analogous?

C'mon.

 

They're fiendishly clever in that they can get their customers to foot most of their bills too!

 

Pinkley helped ban guns in church. Someone wanted to shoot defenseless black people. Pinkney died because he thought having "gun free zones" would protect him. He was wrong. Yes, he was stupid and paid for it with his life.

 

Typical liberal logic where no chance is better than any chance. And you the final scenario just how? Did that little liberal crystal ball tell you the future or what?

 

I support the right to own guns, but frankly this is one of the most idiotic posts I have ever read.

 

Ditto, it's hard to believe that anyone would make such a claim.

 

Stupid is believing you can stop crazy people with "gun free zones". The stupidity of this man help caused his death. You should stop owning guns and put a sticker on your house and say it's a gun free zone. Sound smart? Of course not...

 

It's not blaming the pastor for the shooting to say there may have been less victims if the church members were armed.

 

"I don't think the church was his primary target because he told us he was going for the school," Scriven said Friday. "But I think he couldn't get into the school because of the security ... so I think he just settled for the church.""

"because of the security" - is that code word for good guys with a gun? Hahahah. Stupid people who believe in gun free zone... cry me a river..

 

And the NRA is doing a great job at convincing the sheep that they're all the good guys who needs guns, with over one gun per person.

The NRA should be held legally responsible for all of this gun violence.

 

And knives and hammer manufacturers should be responsible for knife and hammer murders. Yeah right. Sheep don't need convincing. They are for slaughter.

 

Ayuh,.... In that case,.... The Progressives are 100% responsible for this tragedy,......

It was the Progressive policies of the late '60s, 'n early '70s that closed the asylums, puttin' all the Insane folks out on our streets,....

'n it's the Progressive policies that let murders out of prison early, because they've been "Rehabilitated",.....

Which of course is just more Progressive Lies,....

 

Lets go back to the so called first murder. Cain killed Able with a rock. Guns are only one way to kill but the ways to kill are endless.

 

Cotton is correct.

Gun free zones do not work and he is partly responsible for his death and the death of his congregation.

How may lives could have been saved if just one of those people was legally carrying a concealed weapon.

 

My daughter's school has locks on the doors. You can't get in without an access card but they don't have armed security guards. But he said college so they could have guards. Are campus security typically armed? They weren't when I was in college but time change.

 

Idiotic comparison. Knives and hammers are not specifically designed to kill people. Handguns are.

 

Knives and hammers aren't specifically made to kill people -- let alone so easily. Should an infantryman be given a hammer instead of a rifle?

 

The problem is not guns. The problem is the culture that creates the killers. But we will not address the foundational cause, for that would make us take a hard look at the culture we have created, which would make us take a look at ourselves. And no one wants to do that. So, go after the guns, and we can never address what causes people to take a gun and kill others, even in a church.

The problem is not the inanimate object we call a gun. The problem is the culture and the people who have created this culture. Get rid of the guns, and this culture will produce people who make bombs, who stab, who will use other weapons. That is the reality that no one wants to address.

What has happened to basic common sense intelligence? Take racism. Racism is not something man is born with. It is taught. Someone taught this killer to be a racist. And someone is teaching people that guns are the problem, that if you get rid of them, then no one will be killed. Man will cease being violent. I have met the enemy, and it is us.
