[Magdalen] Please Pray - Shooting in Charleston, SC church

[ROGER STOKES]

That response betrays a lack of understanding.  If you are in a Bible Study or Prayer Meeting then your mind is, or at least should be, on the matter at hand.  If someone starts shooting then it is reckoned to take 0.7 seconds to react, after which you need to get your gun and take off the safety catch before you are in a position to return fire. There have been enough experiments (conducted under safe conditions and where the participants were aware thaqt there might e an incident) to show that what this NRA official said is rubbish.

 This may already have been mentioned here, but an NRA board member actually said that the pastor of Emmanuel was at least partly to blame, because, as a state senator, he had voted against an open-carry gun law. If the law had been enacted, people in the church could have defended themselves..........
How sick is that?
