It's a good thing that Illinois has some of the strictist gun control laws in the U.S.
This way, when a criminal decides to completely disregard those laws and, say, shoot up a church, he doesn't have to worry about anyone shooting back.

Honestly we have a low crime rate in Maine but a lot of people carry leatherman tools. --
But that's not a useful defense when the offensive weapon is poison. ;-/

How sad. Prayers for the family of the person who died and of those wounded.
Wonder what the man's name was and if he survived so he can be tried and executed?

Prayers for the innocent victims. Having said that, Illinois is a gun grabber personal defense phobic State with Communist leaders in the government. I am sure none of the congregation had a snowball’s chance because they are law abiding with respect to the State’s ongoing program to make the population defenseless.

We need to ban liberals from church, NOT GUNS. Amen. My husband and I switched churches due to a liberal takeover.

Joining in prayers for the pastor, his family, and the congregation.
Many churches need to beef up their security in these disturbing times.

Thinking it is a country church. Few men around with some pocket knives.

Prayers for all involved; interesting - taking a knife to church, I usually just take my Crucifix and offering.

NOTE TO ARKANSAS LEGISLATORS WHO SIDED WITH LIBERAL PASTORS WHEN YOU FAILED TO REMOVE CHURCHES FROM THE PROHIBITED PLACES UNDER OUR CCW LAW:
AT 5 PM TODAY, I WILL BE ARMED IN CHURCH!
If I see one of you little weasle legislators in my mega-church, I'll do everything in my power (with God's grace) to NOT spit in your eye or give you the ass whipping you deserve.

Hmm, why don’t you just go to a “conservative” church.

Witnesses report that the pastor was among those shot. Church Member Ashley Shank, interviewed by KSDK, was not in the church at the time of the shooting but she did talk to others who said the gunman was wearing a hoodie and pulled the weapon out of the hoodie.
Just before the shooting, the pastor had reportedly asked the gunman, who was standing in the aisle of the church, whether he or she needed help with anything.

My prayers and good wishes go out to the victims of this violence. Every church-going American needs to understand that this can happen anywhere to any denomination for any reason.
If we are prepared we shall not fear...

Very close to my folks, maybe 30 miles. Scott AFB is nearby, so I wonder if there were any military or retired military in the congregation. Small farm town, maybe 4000 people.

We all need to be armed like the good old days. This would prevent so much crime.
