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.

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
