Check Amazon books. They carry Dana Loesch’s books which are excellently well written.

Well, yes. Stuff takes money and Ruger has an interest in preserving the Second Amendment. That doesn’t invalidate the point.
Also, happy cake day.

You referenced Maria Goretti, who was killed by her rapist.and is the patron saint of rape victims. The clear implication is that it’s better if Maria Goretti, and by extension other rape victims are killed by their attackers than the victims take the means to defend themselves.

I was just responding to the idea that everyone should carry guns. Obviously there is nothing in Church teaching that requires someone to carry a gun. The love of Maria Goretti was much more powerful than any gun.

Then you’re attacking a straw man because nobody argues that everyone should carry a firearm. And while the love of Maria Goretti was indeed powerful, her love and a .357 magnum would have given her a better chance against her attacker.

It could have, although in close combat there are plenty of things that could have gone wrong. It could have also hastened her death. So we really don’t know if she would have been better off or not. I guess the lesson is to always be humble, because we just don’t always have the right answers.

Do you mean her attacker?
Part of the child’s holiness was she was concerned that he would commit sin by attacking her. She was worried about his soul.

Jesus showing a child how to use a gun isn’t disturbing to you?

Yes, I mean her attacker. While it is horrible that she suffered an awful death, one result of it was that her attacker repented.

It is disturbing that anyone would be sick enough to photo shop such a portrayal.

He may well have saved more than 26. Possibly multiples of 26.

Wait, wait… Are you really going to try this as an argument against legally bringing concealed firearms into a church? My goodness. Why didn’t you use parking one’s Harley in the sanctuary or taking a sitz bath in the pews during the Liturgy of the Eucharist? How about nipping away on a bottle of brandy during the Mass or dancing the hula in the nave?
The capacity to astonish…

did anyone in the church have a gun? the good guy came from outside. if there was a good guy inside the church the story may have ended differently.

why is it hate filled when the nra puts it out but news when mainstream media puts it out?

The “mainstream media” didn’t put out that video (and others like it). The NRA did.
You may disapprove of the way the “mainstream media” covers issues, but they’re not threatening anyone.

MSM covered many of the same conflicts presented in the nra video. MSM is as threatening as the nra. they both have an agenda,upant:

The Sutherland Springs incident was pretty straightforward.

I understand the concern, especially in light of recent events in the United States (Las Vegas and Texas).
Question: if you’re in a bigger parish, how do you know that Johnny Gun-carrier isn’t one of those crazies? That’s what gets me. I keep reading one side arguing about whether gun control is the answer, but they keep agreeing about the mental health part (or at least they did before Trump started saying it). Why, for goodness’ sake, do we actually agree on something and not do anything about it?
Would I carry a concealed firearm to Mass? No, I don’t like carrying guns; it’s my personal preference, and people do seem to get defensive when I say that. Do I think that people should feel encouraged to arm themselves for Mass? No, I would hope that we could start trying to figure out the problem at the root instead of trimming the twigs off of the top.
Why are people going into crowded areas with high power weapons, and nonchalantly opening fire on them. You know what? I’ve been mad at family members before, I’ve had money troubles, and I have depression. I have never decided that I could solve it by shooting a bunch of random people. Something’s wrong in these peoples’ minds, but we’re not talking about it.
