Missouri Eliminates a Class of Defenseless Victim Zones

The Left has kittens. (Is anyone surprised?) MO bill would allow guns in churches with permit | The Kansas City Star

Because it isn't like churches or synagogues have been the target of bad guys ever. And there not any instances where armed people at the church stopped a bad guy. Or is there?

Bogard said Jewish communities across the country already spend thousands of dollars on security measures to keep themselves safe from hateful people with access to guns.

“That’s money that should be going into serving our communities and serving the vulnerable and teaching people, and instead it is a Second Amendment tax on our First Amendment rights,” Bogard said.

They quote a Mennonite pastor who said that they are peaceful and shouldn't be carrying firearms. Then her parishioners won't be carrying. Of course that means that they are a voluntary defenseless victim zone. I'm sure that won't turn out badly.

You have to consider what the Jewish community in New York is going through. Orthodox Jews suing over NY gun law restrictions for synagogues. Antisemitic hate crimes have been on the rise, and Jewish individuals, businesses, schools, and synagogues have been targets of attacks. They don't feel that the state declaring them to be a gun-free-zone defenseless victim zone is the best strategy to keep their community safe. I agree.
