My take on all of this is if you can't reasonably ensure the defense of my family and myself then please do not deny me the tools necessary for our own security.
Amen, that's the best comment I have heard on the gun control debate in a long time.

Charles Cotton, an NRA board member made the idiotic statement to that effect.
NRA official blames pastor for Charleston church shooting - NY Daily News
That guy needs some sensitivity training to say the least.
Yes, sensitivity training. I only say that because I'm in pacifist Zen mode. Anybody that says a person caused their own death because of not supporting gun rights, rather than placing blame on the actual murderer, is seriously lacking the good sense the Lord gave to a peanut, let alone a regular person.
Sociological question: Why is it that it seems to be ok for the gun control folks to immediately go on the attack after these events whereas the "pro-gun" folks are seen as offensive?
One theory of mine is it's easy and less subjective to blame objects than blame people, their actions, and failures. Man, I'd love to see the NRA and other "gun groups" come up with a messaging methodology to counter the gun grabbers. Until then, it is probably right to let the mourning run its course before attacking the tired old, retreaded claims.
I see it as he was addressing the Pastor's naivety, something you have in common with the Pastor (RIP).
All of you who think the pastor had any culpability make me embarressed to be on this site.
Think it through people......It was the guy's freedom of choice. He wanted his place of worship to be in the manner he wanted to express his religion. Think it through.
I do agree even one armed good guy and the event goes down a lot differently, but to take any responsability for the the deaths away from confederate klan boy is 100% pure bovine excrement.
Think it through.......
It smacks of "She shoulda never wore that dress...."
Now flame away. I will wear the negative rep with honor

I've never been to that church, and certainly never played the part of a wise man, baby Jesus, or anybody else.
Kut, that was 'naivety', not 'nativity'!
Oh, and I almost forgot, I see only one problem with O'Malley being pissed, which is that he was pissed off and not pissed on.

The pastor did not deserve what happened to him, but of course as a legislator he was responsible for imposing this risk on all South Carolinians.
Unlike Schumer and Feinstein he did not hide behind big armed men with guns. For that he deserves accolades. Rarely do legislators suffer the consequences of the laws they pass to 'protect' the 'little people'.
But the fact remains, he was in part responsible for a law that infringes on the rights of American citizens.
It wasn't his 'freedom of choice' in play. It was a law that made armed defense by good people a crime.
