10-year-old shoots grandma with gun found in church

[essentialsaltes]

Police say the boy obtained the weapon after breaking into a lockbox inside the Solid Rock Ministry Church in Uniontown on Thursday night.

He appears to have been playing around with the gun and accidentally shot gramma twice when she tried to stop him.

Jeez... Thankfully the grandma is ok!

Why the heck is there a gun in the church?!?!

 

[Kenny'sID]

Yep, the church allows kids to shoot the elderly.

Churches are bad.

I... What?...

How did you get to this train of thought? Who are the people saying this?

I know of a number of churches that have members who patrol for safety--they are authorized by the church leadership. Often they do concealed carry. I believe my brother does this in PA (not Uniontown). My FIL patrols at his church; while he doesn't carry, his fellow patrols do.

Why there was a gun in a lockbox? I don't know. Maybe someone was carrying (which is allowed in PA) and that church has a policy to lock 'em up? Maybe it was a "church" gun for just-in-case?

The point of my earlier anecdotes is that gun culture is alive and well and there may be many reasons for this combination of things to have happened.

I think the more pertinent question is how did the 10 year old break into the lockbox?

Don't get me wrong, I am a 2nd amendment kind of guy. I understand if a church would allow some of the folks in church to conceal carry; but to keep a gun at the church in a lock box would allow for... Well... Something like this to happen.

Imagine that the kid was a little older and thought it would be a good idea instead to shoot everyone in his church dead.

I got it off the sarcasm car.

If they know the OP, some will get it.

We'll likely never know the answers to all the "why" questions, so let's just keep the family in prayer.

Ask Arnold

Arnold had his ways, but I still liked the man, however, seems like he's a bit too anxious or even happy to weild the gun.

What a bizarre video.

Why is it the same clip, just looped over and over?

Not sure why they looped it, I mean its not like he didn't make his point quite clear the first time around. Lol

I can't even find any useful information on this incident. Just random mentions of it in other social media. So weird
"Blasphemer!"
SHOOT THAT BOY!

That's a little... Unsettling.

 

[Kenny'sID]

So weird

That somewhat sums up Arnold. As I mentioned, he has his ways, but at the same time he had some very good ways. Although he passed a few years bach, his son took over, and they've been on very early morn network TV for at least 35 or 40yrs. The largest Christian independent network in the world.

Another brilliant example of the strawman fallacy.

lol

There are those two way overused by atheists, terms again.


Careful or I'll tell Arnold on you.

This is awful and I am so happy the Grandma is ok. Our church does security
and the people on the team do carry conspicuously.

Crazy minds have crazy sick thoughts, and try to excuse their sick thoughts. By blaming it on some else. Nothing more.

Huh. But who are these people with these sick thoughts? I don't think I've ever known anyone in my life who would ever come to those conclusions... Hmmm...
