BREAKING: Good guy with a gun takes down bad guy with a gun

Make sure to let us know what you think... we now have comments turned ON below the article!

It was a little over two years ago now that Devin Patrick Kelley shot and killed 26 people, and wounded 20 more at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. Kelley had legally obtained the guns he used in the shooting, but he shouldn’t have had them.

Kelley, a former member of the Air Force, had been convicted of domestic violence and court-martialed. The Air Force failed to report Kelley’s criminal record multiple times. If they had reported him, his info would have been included in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, known as NICS,  which firearms dealers use before they sell guns to anyone. It was illegal for Kelley to have any guns, but he got them anyway.

Thanks to Texas lawmakers, the Sutherland Springs tragedy wasn’t about to happen again. 

Killing Spree cut short by good guys with guns

When a gunman, 43-year-old Keith Thomas Kinnunen, a man with a criminal record, started shooting at the West Freeway Church of Christ, 6 armed men on the church security team moved right in on him. Kinnunen fired off two rounds, killing one deacon and injuring another member of the security team (who later died). Then a member of the security team, Jack Wilson, took one shot and killed the gunman. Only three shots total were fired and it was over.

Why was the West Freeway Church shooting so different from Sutherland Springs? It all comes down to a pro-gun bill, SB 535.

SB535 allows licensed carry in places of worship

In 2019, Texas governor Greg Abbott signed SB 535, a law allowing licensed gun owners to carry on church premises. The law, along with other new gun laws, took effect one day after the Odessa shooting on August 31, 2019.

The two mass shootings in the summer of 2019 in Odessa and El Paso also prompted Abbot to sign executive orders to better target possible mass shooters and respond to threats.

SB535, with church members willing to carry loaded weapons, cut this gunman’s killing spree very short. It lasted about 5 seconds, and the loss of life, though still terrible and too much, was limited to two rather than the 26 of the Sutherland shooting, thanks to the security team that saved many lives.

Democrats are still calling to disarm law-abiding citizens that want to protect themselves

Democrats like Joe Biden and Beto O’Rourke think that people in churches should not be able to defend themselves. Biden even speculated that it is just “irrational” for church members to be armed.

He couldn’t be more wrong. After what happened at the West Freeway Church of Christ, having armed people in the congregation is very rational indeed.

Thankfully, the governor of Texas, Greg Abbot,  thought it would be wise for church members to be able to attend church services while carrying a gun.

Beto still thinks something is clearly wrong

The only thing “clearly wrong” is Beto O’Rourke.  He should really acknowledge what went right. What Texas has done has clearly made it safer for people in churches that have armed security teams.

Houses of worship should have armed security teams

The machete attack on a Hannukah party in New York on Saturday and the attack on West Freeway Church of Christ should convince us all that places of worship are going to continue to be targeted by malicious killers until they stop seeing them as soft targets.

The West Freeway Church of Christ security team has shown us how to protect ourselves in houses of worship. We send our thoughts and prayers to the families of the West Freeway fallen.

  1. I am the proprietor of JustCBD Store label (justcbdstore.com) and I am currently seeking to grow my wholesale side of company. It would be great if someone at targetdomain is able to provide some guidance 🙂 I considered that the most ideal way to accomplish this would be to talk to vape stores and cbd retail stores. I was really hoping if someone could recommend a reputable web-site where I can buy Vape Shop B2B Marketing List I am currently examining creativebeartech.com, theeliquidboutique.co.uk and wowitloveithaveit.com. Not exactly sure which one would be the most suitable option and would appreciate any guidance on this. Or would it be easier for me to scrape my own leads? Suggestions?
