A Madman Walked Into Church to Kill Dozens… Here’s the 1 Thing That Stopped Him Cold

[Hey Barry if ya insist on banning guns...start with your own protection detail!]

President Barack Obama used his bully pulpit hours after the tragic shooting at Umpqua Community College near Roseburg Oregon to advance his gun-grabbing agenda, just like he does after every mass shooting.
The college was labeled a “gun-free zone,” (oped: actually it wasn't it became one after the shooting... by UCC admin to cover their not allowing armed students to respond) like most of the other venues where mass shootings have occurred, essentially rendering the victims defenseless and dependent on police to intervene. That leaves too much time for a killer to amass a higher body count.

Let’s look back at 2007 incident at a large venue that wasn’t a “gun-free zone” and compare the outcome.
A man walked into the large New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with intent to kill as many church members as he could. The church, which held at least 5,000 parishioners at any given time, was a target-rich environment for the would-be mass murderer.
But, when Matthew James Murray entered the building with enough firepower to kill hundreds after he’d just shot and killed two people in the parking lot, he must have quickly realized that targeting a place that wasn’t “gun-free” was a bad idea.



According to the Denver Post, volunteer security guard Jeanne Assam was in the right place at the right time, because as soon as the armed woman spotted Murray getting ready to begin his murder spree, she pulled out her handgun and dropped him in his tracks.
Without a doubt, her quick thinking saved countless lives. And there was no president or member of Congress on television that night rallying for gun control.
It’s extremely sad that he was able to get to two people in the parking lot, but it proved a point. We’ll never stop psychos from trying to commit mass murder, but we can most certainly reduce the body count when it happens if law-abiding citizens are able to properly defend themselves.
As a writer at Allen B. West pointed out, “Imagine how many would be alive today if we had not more, but fewer, ‘gun-free zones.'”
