Here we go again! Another nut case decides to go on a shooting rampage - now it's a church - only this one has a less murderous ending, although sadly not for the victims the killer did manage to hit. Thankfully an armed parishioner acting as a security guard shot and killed the gunman who entered the church Sunday afternoon after he had gotten no more than 50 feet inside the building.
According to Senior Pastor Brady Boyd of the Colorado Springs New Life Church, who had instituted security precautions after a previous shooting at a Denver area mission center earlier that Sunday, an armed female security guard "probably saved 100 lives." The gunman, he added, "had a lot of ammunition to do a lot of damage."
Wake up America! We are accorded the right to bear arms for more than the purpose of hunting and target practice. Arms are first and foremost a means to protect ourselves from those meaning to do us harm, whether it be from deranged gunmen or a "destructive government."
Thank the Lord - no pun intended - that this Church believed in it's God given right to protect itself and its congregation using any means available! The message should ring as clear as the sound of a Church bell.
