Precisely what happened at New Life Church in Colorado Springs eight years ago. Thank God for Jeanne Asam, the unnamed guard in the initial news stories.

Well I'm going to wait and see but I suspect he never really had a chance to be a productive citizen.
He will reap that which he has sown. I will pity him and mourn what he could have been had he made Christ his Savior. Satan delights in destruction and this young man is an example of just how horrific the consequences of sin are in truth.
I only hope those he murdered were genuine Christians and not the Christians produced by the gospel of social justice. The history of that church and the related information about the church denomination causes me great concern.
For now let them mourn the dead in peace.

To be fair most American churches seem more concerned with politics and social justice (which can also be social conservative causes) than anything else. I don't see any difference between a church like this and the Southern Baptist church down my street that's always trying to drum up Republican voters. Two sides of the same coin.
I would honestly have to say the only thing that would make sense to me is to legalize medicines the DEA has labeled "Illicit drugs". Violence and "illicit drugs" go hand in hand. Allow people to cultivate or businesses to grow and sell cannabis. let people with memory problems cultivate their own "shrooms". Take away the source of income and motivation for these people to be violent, and MAYBE it would help. At least the dealers wouldn't be "criminals" for their intentions on making profits off of Natural substances. (God did put them here folks) I know that doesn't really quite answer your question... but to me taking away their motivation for having arms in the first place would be well enough. If they feel the NEED to be criminals just to own guns... then maybe that'll just get em' too stoned to want to get off the couch lol. But if I were a criminal, I would think twice about breaking into a mans house who had a shotgun at the ready pointing towards all the noise (just me)

It's only adding onto the racial wars going on and the events that are highlighted in the media. Think about it. Bruce Jenner coming out as Caitlyn and it's acceptable despite how many years this guy was 'hiding his true identity', yet Rachel Dolezal identifying as a black woman when it's pretty clear that she's white is shunned on with many things happening in between. Now the shooting happening and evidently seen as a hate crime/race war along with previous cases of white police officers vs black citizens, even if some of these black citizens were committing crimes prior to the events.
Anyone who does justify shootings as people who are 'disturbed' and that they should be given any sympathy really needs to evaluate as to what they are siding with. Let me ask those people this - the Boston Marathon event that has led two years later the sentence of death penalty for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev seems justifiable with the two or three deaths as the given result, then what makes this case any different of nine being dead from a shooting happening during a church sermon? A church sermon that is supposed to give people some refuge from the real world mess that we're already in and causing division and fall within America as we speak, only to have these people suffer and changed permanently from it. Black vs white, liberal vs conservative, what we allow our politicians to pass, our risk with gun law etc. The media and social networks are a haven for these problems to be more so present and we're not doing a damn thing other than being at war with our own neighbors and letting the irrational win. It does involve us everyday people even if it seems insignificant and the sooner we realize this then the better off we 'could' be from being so passive.
If we truly do not want this to be a race bait then give to where it is due and say what is truly justifiable and what is not. Nine people are dead because of this shooter. Once we realize and gain such power through numbers then we wouldn't be manipulated and conclude our outcomes such as this. Providing on people's words as it has been made with Dylann Roof gives all the more reason one should support the death penalty for him as well. If one truly does not want to frame 'big bad whitey' in every case scenario then we need to have the justice mindset despite the racial baiting going on that is truly setting us back since we're being manipulated and sold out no matter what spectrum we side with. How can one not see that at this point? We're on a decline because we allow things in when it's unacceptable and not accept what should be allowed for as long as we have our First Amendment for a start.

I am just now listening to the relatives speaking in the court room,giving their impact statements. There is no doubt that they are true Christians. Im afraid more than I could be. I dont know that I could forgive that soon.I guess you dont know,hopefully none of us will have to find out. It sounds like a town full of wonderful people,for the most part.Very sad.
Hey kaylagrl , most of our state is Christian. That is why we don't have a lot of race problems.
In 1989, Hugo came through, and that was the turning point for the people of SC.
We just need for people all over the world to be praying for us. We will overcome this,
like we have all before, because our love and faith in God.

Your problem is that you don't understand that our form of democracy (that protects yours) is based upon the honest people being armed against oppresive government and having the ability to bear arms ..even against the government if need be. That's why the right to bear arms is the 2nd amendment to the constitution.

A gun can not think for itself. A gun can not act on it's own. A gun is just an object. Can it be dangerous? Sure, in the hands of the wrong person. Can it save lives? Yes, in the hands of the right person. Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
A car is just a car............and even with all the advances of technology, it still requires an outside force to begin operating. Cars don't kill people, people kill people.
A butcher knife is just a butcher knife........................
A hatchet is just a hatchet.......................
A hammer is just a hammer..................
An axe is just an axe.............
well, some will understand, others won't

I believe in 1989, that was Gods wake up call for the entire state. We were like all the other states
putting everything above God. God has a way to bring us to our knees, he would prefer that we just
do it. When, we don't , he will do it his way. Yes, I'm proud of our state, if we could keep the feds out
of it. They are all over it, they have been here since 4 am Thursday morning. We are going to show
the entire world, what it means to love God so much ,that during this lose, he is still King.

Not really. We don't have a true democracy in the U.S. We elect representatives to take our views to Washington. If they don't represent us well, we campaign to change them. But they are the ultimate decision makers.
And no, without knowledge of guns, the purpose the Constitution stands for their personal ownership, you don't know enough to have a say. You assume the purpose established in the document is outmoded. You would be wrong.
