In a stunning real-life example of why it is important that Americans retain their Second Amendment right to bear arms, a shooter at a Texas church on Sunday was fatally shot within seconds after he pulled a gun and shot two congregants during a service.

The gunman — identified Monday as 43-year-old Keith Thomas Kinnunen, according to KXAS-TV — entered the West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas, near Forth Worth, and opened fire.

Fortunately, he was quickly stopped by armed security, preventing any further deaths or injuries.

Several other churchgoers also drew their weapons — a fact that is amplified in a slow-motion video making the rounds on social media.

I’ll bet there are no more church shootings in Texas for a long time.

7 good guys (and gals) volunteering to take out the trash sounds like a good community.

Twitter has dumped my account, probably because I’m always giving Trump a thumbs up.

Anyway, you gotta link other than Twitter?

The Mrs. and I are both CCW holders, and she used to be heavily involved in the music in our church. Being that the platform could be the first target in an attack, we discussed privately with the senior pastor about packing heat in the services and he was very happy to know that we were armed, trained, willing and able to do the needful. He also stated we weren't the only ones, so that was a relief as well.

No greater regret in a time of crisis than to reach for a gun that's not there...

Beyo is a freakin’ idiot. He wants to make it to where only the bad guys have guns.

Has Beto ever had security? If he was elected president would he have required the secret service to not have guns? Does he value his life more than ours? Freakin’ idiot.

5 seconds from the first shot to the last one (which killed the perp). How many more would have died if this was a Gun Free Zone?

Law enforcement officials praised the members of the church’s security team for ending the attack within seconds.

What, no wild west type shootout?

Do you suppose the shooter realized he was attacking an armed church?? Other would be mass murders have always attacked “gun free” targets.

Grew up 20 miles from there in Irving (where Lee Harvey Oswald had his picture taken with the rifle) and grew up in the Church of Christ. This will slow down shootings in Texas, my guess is 2 or 3 women were packing too.

I live in Alabama. I go to a small country church. We have a security plan with an armed individual at the front door and all other doors locked. But I am sure, in the event of trouble, we would have at least four or five pulled, including the preacher.
