South Carolina's gun laws did nothing to stop this homicidal racist from going on a rampage inside a house of worship. South Carolina permits an individual to carry concealed in church only if given "express permission," which Roof quite obviously had never been given, since Wednesday was, to my knowledge, the first time he'd ever even set foot in the building.
Many state laws, regrettably in my view, prohibit concealed carry in church. Such laws, well-intentioned as they may be, turn churches into gun-free zones and human shooting galleries.
The sad and unnecessary reality is that when Roof started firing, there was nobody in the building who could shoot back. |

"The church has regularly opposed permitted concealed handguns and stand your ground laws, let alone the notion of carrying concealed handguns in church. They have also been part of a major push for gun control and a strong proponent of the push for Dianne Feinstein's gun control bill in 2013." - John Lott
Not to sound callous, but it would appear that they have reaped their own whirlwind.
