Ever since it was discovered that several armed churchgoers drew their weapons to stop a gunman at a church in Texas last week, the anti-gun mainstream media types have been trying to tell the public that armed, law-abiding citizens are a bad thing.
The New Year's Day installment of media malpractice hyperbole arrives courtesy of the nauseatingly leftist USA Today: "@USATODAY Opinion: Jack Wilson is exactly the type of person you want around with a gun because he's a firearms instructor. But we know nothing about the at least six other parishioners who also appeared to draw their handguns. And that's terrifying."

My wife and I have been birding in way South Arizona and it is very comforting that one of the birders had a Glock on his belt. We often see people on the streets of Tucson with open carry and I bet there are more concealed. Very comforting.

Stephen Kruiser I ask you "with all the terrifying parishioners packing -- how did it turn out?". But you wouldn't know because you were not there.

This is just another example of how the Leftists control the media, and indisputably have the megaphone, but they don't have the minds of the people, to wit, Donald Trump is President and any sensible person supports the armed church goers who prevented a mass murder. Personally, I find the drumbeat from the Left to be just so much annoying noise. However, they do pose a danger to America, because while they are busily beating up on Donald Trump and the tens of millions of Americans who support him, we have real enemies, like Iran, China, and Russia and deranged killers right here in America. And it does our country no good to have our own media constantly bashing our leader and instigating division between Americans, not to mention, that many Democrats have such advanced cases.of Trump Derangement Syndrome, that they seem to be unaware that we must stand together when facing enemies.

Not sure why the media types are concerned about this. I'm sure they never see the inside of a church so they have nothing to worry about.

What scares me is how little we know about these mainstream media types...I think we ought to investigate them and publish their private details so we can judge their “considered opinions” accordingly. What’s good for the goose...

There is another reason the left has not been able to take over completely, and it's one major thing keeping them in check. It's the fact we are an armed citizenry. Countless times they have tried with different angles to make Americans helpless and vulnerable. Vigilance is vital. Power is their goal.

One of the things that is scary to the Left is that when they rabble rouse they have to worry that the people that they harass might be armed and fight back. Their goal is to be able to riot and intimidate without fearing reprisals. What happened in Texas make them fearful that they can't get away with it.

The snowflake media ought to get over themselves. Check out what kind of sword St. Peter was carrying when he chopped off Malchus's ear. That was also a good day to go armed.
The tiny little church I attend has 4 armed parishioners patrolling the doors from open to close. We never know which 4 men and women have the watch. Amen.

What I am finding appalling is that the media is subtly rooting for carnage so they have something else bloody to report on. The armed citizen that stopped that shooter is a good guy, but he derailed their story. Foul beasts are running the media at the moment. Besides, the crosses in those churches would cause most of the Leftist media to spontaneously combust.

Who cares? Is anyone listening to the inconsequential media?

FTA … Jack Wilson is exactly the type of person you want around with a gun because he's a firearms instructor. And since you, author, are incapable of defending yourself or anybody else you are liable to be victim #21. But don't worry. When seconds matter the police are only minutes away.

Did the media ask or even care whether or not Jack Wilson also instructed those other armed people.
I would lay odds some of them have been to the range with him.

The word that comes to me is not terrifying. It is. Comforting.,

I live in a constitutional carry state. No permit required for concealed or open carry. I see open carriers from time to time and am certain there are far more concealed carriers. I carry myself. Never been bothered, never saw an idiot, and rarely see rude pushy people like you get in the communist states. Life is better.

Too bad the media didn't get to enjoy the shooter's intended mass murder in that church.

I can tell you about these other armed citizens. Why didn't they ask me? If the are LTC holders they have attended class to learn the Texas gun laws, passed a firearms qualifications test, had federal background checks and they were fingerprinted. Is that not enough? They also may have had training at the facility run by Mr. Wilson. The press does not do their homework, do they?

A little Texas history for the Lcom peeps: check out a book on Amazon called "Pistol Packing Preachers." It was a real thing long before Tejas y Coahuila became TEXAS.

What is actually terrifying is the mass slaughter that would have taken place if there had NOT been anybody there to return fire. As it was, one of the two church security persons was killed before the other one could shoot the would be mass murderer.
Perhaps even more terrifying is if the anti-gun media types like USA Today had their way, everybody in that church would have been murdered.

Mass murder of Christian 'religious zealots' by a crazed gunman is news but the protection of church members by people with guns is a scary thought to the left. It doesn't fit their narrative it's the reason ANTIFA can harm people and get away with it. It fits the narrative to hurt and kill people on the right who oppose them.
Just remember the old saying "an armed society is a polite society" the left is not polite and they do fear armed citizens ready to defend themselves. I fear that groups at concerts, restaurants, schools, churches, even large shopping establishments are targets for a killer to reek maximum havoc on society. The left loves killing especially defenseless babies.

Well, I'm a firearms instructor, too, but I am fine with any honest citizen being armed. I do suggest and recommend that you find a good instructor and spend some serious amount of range time getting your shooting skilled improved.
IMO, anyone who won't shoot at least 200 rounds per year in practice isn't serious about it. And 200 rounds per month in good, planned practice would be a whole lot better.
