Anti-gun activist Shannon Watts reacted predictably:
When will Congress stand up to the @NRA so our children don’t have to stand up to gunmen? https://t.co/kL4pMpYVzY

Is that so? Well, there’s just one element to the story that makes Watts’ kneejerk reaction look moronic (again):

The gunman was stopped by a fast acting member of the congregation who retrieved his own gun from his vehicle. https://t.co/MXQs51pN5N

Gunman was stopped by church usher & held him at gunpoint until police arrived. Fought off killer after being pistol whipped. Good guy w/gun

Nice talking point, gun grabbers, but it’s another narrative “fail”:

More:
One church member, 22-year-old Caleb Engle, confronted the shooter before being pistol whipped in the face. Engle then went to his car to retrieve a gun, which he has under a concealed carry license.
Engle returned to the church to confront the gunman again. The gunman shot himself in the face when the man returned, possibly by accident.

Another day, another blame backfire for Watts.
If you had your way more innocent people would have died, dumbass. https://t.co/r1IKtA3SAf
