NRA executive blames pastor

I imagine many people will be using this story as point of reference, I want to address the comments stated by the executive.  Let me first begin by saying I am a proud and responsible gun owner, I take my right to carry very seriously and I hesitate to enter businesses with "Gun Free Zone" stickers on the front.  With that being said, what this executive is saying is ludicrous.  "It would never have happened if they allowed guns into church", this is supposed to be a time to mourning and a time to focus on what can be done to prevent it in the future, NOT time to press your rhetoric and further your own causes.  To do so shows a complete lack of class and only hurts whatever cause you were pushing to begin with.  This event should NOT be an "us vs. them" story any more than it already is, it should be a "what can we do, TOGETHER?" kind of story.  Keep your "causes" separate.
