Dylann Storm Roof, a 21-year-old white supremacist, sits through an hour-long Bible study at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal church  (a 501(c)3, government-chartered, non-profit corporation, as opposed to a new testament (First Amendment) Church) in Charleston, south carolina, and then opens fire with a .45-caliber Glock 41 sidearm, murdering nine worshipers of African descent, including the church’s pastor Democratic (socialist/fascist) state Senator Clementa C. Pinckney, an opponent of Right of Self-Defense.

       Postscript: The following day, after his arrest in Wilmington, north carolina Roof confessed to the murders in hopes of starting a race war.

       Question: Had only one of the worshipers been armed would Roof have been as likely to carry out his genocidal intentions?
