NRA Board Member Blames Murdered Reverend For Death Of His Congregants In S.C. Church Mass Shooting

National Rifle Association board member Charles L. Cotton wrote that the victims of a mass shooting in a Charleston, South Carolina church died because of Reverend Clementa Pinckney's advocacy for gun safety laws.

... In a post on an online forum for Texas supporters of the concealed carry of handguns, Cotton wrote, "he voted against concealed-carry. Eight of his church members who might be alive if he had expressly allowed members to carry handguns in church are dead. Innocent people died because of his position on a political issue."

It is God's way of teaching that foolish reverend and the people dumb enough to listen to him (and the rest of us libtards) that they/we should be packing heat. Onward Christian Soldiers!
