BELLEVUE, WA – Former Vice President Joe Biden deserves every brickbat being thrown in his direction in the aftermath of Sunday’s church shooting incident in Texas for declaring in September that the state’s new law allowing guns in churches is “irrational,” the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.
But Biden should not be alone in the hot seat, said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb.
“The deafening silence from Biden’s fellow Democrats still in the presidential race is equally telling,” Gottlieb observed. “Not one of them has stepped forward to offer even faint praise for the courage of Jack Wilson, who used his legally-carried pistol to stop the shotgun-wielding killer from wreaking more havoc at the West Freeway Church of Christ.
“The gun control crowd has been predictably silent,” he continued, “because the use of firearms by private citizens in defense of themselves and others—especially a large crowd of worshippers in a church—just doesn’t fit the extremist gun control narrative.”
Sunday’s tragic incident was ended in six seconds after the gunman, identified as a man with a criminal record in at least three states, fatally shot two members of the church congregation. Wilson’s quick action and accuracy prevented further carnage.
“Within seconds,” Gottlieb noted, “video of the tragic incident revealed at least seven more church members with drawn guns carefully closing in on the downed killer. Their responsible use of firearms to defend their fellow congregants is exactly why Texas enacted its new laws. At the very least, Biden should apologize for his earlier criticism.
“Biden’s trash talk in September symbolizes everything wrong with his party’s increasing hostility toward law-abiding gun owners and the Second Amendment,” he said. “This year, we’ve already heard proposals for mandatory buybacks, registration and licensing, gun bans and Beto O’Rourke’s outright threat of confiscation. If anyone has been irrational, it’s Biden and his fellow Democrats for their demagoguery and anti-rights hysteria.
“What happened Sunday in Texas,” Gottlieb concluded, “reminded us all of individual heroism, and that actions always speak louder than words, and that brave people act while politicians pontificate.”

Hey stevie.. i’m making fun of your “perfict” prez… went right over your pinhead i can see! 😂🤣😂
Well guys and gals, perhaps we SHOULD listen to creepy ‘ol Joe, after all, if anyone knows about irrationality, it’s Joe!
Old creepy Joe should just go off into retirement , he’s beyond out of touch with reality.
Sleepy Now has lost touch with reality. Mr. Wilson is a hero who saved countless people. If every American carried a gun there would be a lot less mass shooting. Wake up you disillusioned Democrats.
Im almost sure one of your boy jesus s bigglyest dislikes was a man being a hypocrite.. probably frowned upon adulterers and liars and murderers as well….
Bones, you need to go back to school before you post anything else. It hard to take someone like you seriously. There is spell and grammar check.
So nathan , I hope you can find the moral courage to look into the mirror and find the REAL truth in yourself and quit relying on philosophies that were forced on your brain as a child .. with fear and control as a finality… wake up bro.. this still time to change the road your on! Rid yourself of your cancer!🤣😂🤣
Wow nathan ..my christian church tought us to abide by jesus s teachings in new testament.. not the “old testament.. .. even the ten commandements contradict your logic… your really confused huh? AND YOU HAVE NO LOGICAL ARGUEMENT.. go back to your mommy please .. this here place is for real men who bow to noone.. even your silly fake made up gods.. nathan if your a REAL christian you cant have your cake and eat it too… you absolutely have to turn the other cheek and be meek .. me on the other hand…..can kill at will with no guilt….😂🤣😂
This from the guy who says to just blast the shotgun through the door.
Joe Biden is a Demoidiot
I think what sleepy joe means by irrational is …..christians with guns killing others (even for protection)is really an irrational thought and action because (the said thought and action) of revenge or killing is in DIRECT CONTRADICTION to beliefs and teachings of jesus and lessons in the new testament… meaning “ you should turn the other cheek” IF you are a real christian…..OR you are a FAKE christian …. MY guess is YALL ARE JUST FAKE CHRISTIANS.. talkin crap.. what you boys say?
Actually, think about it. You’re in church praying to whatever supreme being you happen to believe in that loves you, right. He, she (or it) is listening to you. Someone comes in to this ‘sanctuary’ to kill and you KNOW that there will be NO intervention by who you are worshipping. Yes you send thoughts and prayers for such not to happen. In this sense, guns in such a place IS IRRATIONAL!! Not rocket science. Guns in church prove that you’re worshipping to nothing.
Actually, the Israelites believed in God and did as he commanded, to rebuild the wall around the city with a trowel in one hand and a sword in the other, ready to defend themselves against the enemy that surrounded them. And you speak as one that would only believe if a mystical hand came down from heaven to save you, but you miss not only the armed citizen that God put in the right place at the right time, but the helpless, weak, and harmless baby in a manger that came down to save you as well. No, we carry a gun because it is our right to defend our families and our right to believe and worship, same as the founding fathers of our country, but we also believe in a God who may send fire from heaven, or an armed volunteer security officer to protect and deliver us. The faith of our forefathers is why you live in a country that has not yet succumbed to the sands of time but still, for a time, enjoys peace and prosperity. The faithless is why we are travelling faster and faster down a road toward destruction. Please don’t mock my right to bear arms or my faith again.
i can understand why biden is like this ,he still has his head up obamas ass ,what a dumb ass , and this wants to be our president !!! hell nooooooooo TRUMP 2020
Agree 100%
The Dems are always talking about the Govt. having a FORCED GUN BUY BACK, how can they buy back something that they never owned in the first place
Great excuse for not going to church… but when I do go… after extreme nagging from she who must be obeyed, I am always armed.
“Forgive me father for I am strapped…”
Anyway, I am a life long liberal democrat and at 72 I’ve been carrying since age 15 when I got crosswise with a real grown up gangster in Chicago.
No, it wasn’t legal then…. didn’t care. Wouldn’t care now. I am not going to risk getting whacked by some shithead just to obey your rules.
My right to life does not depend on any laws you pass… including the 2nd Amendment.

Uncle Joe the pedophile goes to church for all the pedophiles are at hypocrite
Unless it’s a double barrel. Right, Joe?
Life is saner and safer avoiding churches and religionists.
Biden should give up politics and go learn to program, but he’s not bright enough.
Amen brother Nathan
Irrational? He’s talking about the perpetrator right? He used a shotgun Joe.
No Mr Biden, pro-abortion politicians claiming to be Roman Catholic are irrational.
Joe Biden is the the Malarkey! Just another lie posted on the side of his tour bus…
Biden is irrational and irrelevant
The former VP should realize that his many previous comments about guns have been unhelpful to his political efforts and completely useless to others.
I’m almost as old as Joe and after being married/divorced several times I learned that it’s best to shut up if you don’t know what you’re talking about. Failing that you should apologize, early and often. At this point in Joe’s career it’s too late for him to change course.
Attempting to acommodate the increasingly fickle (and goofy?) Democrat voter today is pointless, and he has ZERO chance of attracting Independent or Republican voters. Prayer may be the best option for him under these circumstances. If somehow he happens to get elected the rest of us will need to pray, that’s for sure.
Biden’s got baggage and closets full of skeletons. He should keep his mouth shut.
In the good old days we use to body guard the church goers at their fund raising bingo nite games. BECAUSE THE GANG BANGERS IN THE “HOOD”WOULD ROB THE GAME AND THE PEOPLE SO WE STARTED BODY GUARDING AND THE GANG GAVE UP PICKING ON CHURCHS. WAKE BIDEN UP AND TELL HIM TO READ THIS.
Trump should Award Jack Wilson the Presidential Medal of Freedom. For His actions, what those actions represents as a whole, that exercising his Freedoms: Jack Wilson eliminated a lethal threat to others exercising their Religious Freedoms and saved many from death or serious injury.
Though Jack Wilson appears to be a humble man, what he did needs to be recognized on a National level for his selfless accomplishment and to promote it for the deterent value towards others considering such criminal acts of targeted violence.
