Stephen Willeford, right, the good man with a gun who stopped the bad man with guns. |
A man, an avowed atheist and hater of Christianity, goes to a Christian Church and massacres dozens of people, attempting to kill everyone in the Church during the Sunday service and the news media says that it was a crime which was not religiously motivated.
As a matter of fact, the man's Facebook page was filled with his violently anti-Christian virulence.
Here is the story in Spanish.
The authorities in Texas are calling on all Americans to conduct emergency drills on what to do if someone comes in for a massacre. The implication is that we need many more law abiding citizens armed and ready to stand up and defend the defenseless in this type of ever more frequent scenario. When the police is not enough the people need to police themselves!
One problem is that only 3% of the American adults own guns. The statistics on this are very deceiving. If you google guns per capita USA comes out on top at 90 guns for 100 citizens. But it does not at all say how many of the 100 citizens own the 90 guns. Turns out that, on average, only 3 citizens own the 90 guns. That's scary! In a place like Switzerland it is much more balanced where practically half of the adult male population is armed, viz. 25% of Swiss adults own a gun. For an armed republic, many more adults in the USA would need to arm themselves and go to shooting ranges to learn how to responsibly employ them.
P.S. All religions are not the same. Fanatics massacre Christians daily in the name of Allah on the one hand and in the name of every manner of Atheism on the other, but when was the last time you heard of a Christian massacring people in the name of Jesus? Neither Christ nor His Apostles killed anyone, but rather gave their lives to redeem the world.
