We have a lot of very defective people in our society. The fact is that if the man who lived next door to the church had not had a gun, there would have been more victims of the shooter. He saved lives with his gun which he would not have had if it were up to the gun control people. In all probability, many lives were saved in Thornton because when that shooter started shooting people, a lot of other people got their guns out.  Gun control laws are not effective. This guy in Texas should not have had a gun, but he did. Words in a book are not going to stop someone from getting a gun. What those words might do is keep someone like the man who engaged the shooter, from having a gun. The shooter was reloading when the neighbor engaged him. Anyone who can't understand that is defective.
