Who were the morons who passed laws allowing people to take guns into churches

[malaise]

Thanks you fucking stupid accomplices.

1. I am not a gun owner or promoter but I ask

do you really think that if it were illegal to carry a gun into that church the shooter would have obeyed it and not do what he did?

[ladjf]

6. Metal detector. nt

[upaloopa]

7. That church is a historical place

I heard they pride themselves as being open to visitors to see the historical church.
I don't see them putting in metal detectors and security guards.

[ladjf]

12. I think they should be open to unarmed visitors. Those with weapons aren't welcome or allowed.

It's too bad reality has necessitated that restriction but it's worse to put everyone in the church at grave risk in case
a crazy racists shows up with murder on his mind.

13. That's empty your pockets, scan your bags, the "wand," etc.

What about bombs?

14. Sounds exactly like the model entry to an historic American church to me

16. if they want to install a metal detector, they can install one

Just because guns are allowed doesnt mean the church has to allow them. In church in SC can ban weapons if they want to

19. guns in churches ARE banned under S.C. law.

2. It's illegal where this latest tragedy occurred.

"You may not carry a firearm on school premises (including day care and preschool facilities), in law enforcement offices or facilities, in court facilities, at polling places on election days, in churches or other religious sanctuaries, or in hospitals or medical facilities." (S.C. Code Ann.§ 23-31-215.)

5. Yep! No law would have changed the outcome of this tragedy.

3. The NRA certainly was behind it, at least with their lobbyist.

4. In S.C. It is against the law to carry a gun in a church.

[YOHABLO]

8. If you know the insane racist ideology behind this young man, laws do not matter.

We already have way too many guns in this nation. A gun law would not have restrained this young man. He was determined to kill.

[Skittles]

9. paranoid gun humping assholes

COWARDS!!!

[Agnosticsherbet]

10. People continue to rob banks, ,\knock over liquor stores,

and steel cars.

I guess that means those should e legal since making theft illegal does not stop them.

The same argument could be made about rape and other forms of crime. People are going to do them anyway, so why make them illegal.

Your argument does not make sense.

11. Morons in a bunch of moronic states.

[krispos42]

17. That is irrelevant to the situation at hand.

N/t.

[philosslayer]

18. Is this a serious questions?

Is there a sarcasm indication i'm not seeing?
