Armed Texas parishioners stopped a gunman who opened fire inside the West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement. (Screen snip, YouTube, KHOU)U.S.A. -(Ammoland.com)- An armed murderer entered a Texas church last week. Armed parishioners stopped him in seconds and saved hundreds of lives. Some anti-rights politicians didn’t like that public demonstration of self-defense. These politicians, and some Hollywood celebrities, called for more gun-control. We know that self-defense worked, but I was shocked at how badly gun-control failed to keep us safe. Let’s look at the record. The murderer had a long and troubled past. He had issues with drug abuse, homelessness, mental health, multiple divorces, domestic violence and restraining orders, and a long criminal history. Contrary to the media myth, the murderer did not use an AR style rifle, but used Joe Biden’s firearm of choice, a shotgun. In theory, the murderer should have been unable to get any firearm.
