What's wrong with this statement?
[DISM] Minister after Texas church shooting: "I'm thankful our government has allowed us the opportunity to protect ourselves"

For future archive searches, from Skidmark’s Daily Mail link in the comments:

Keith Thomas Kinnunen, 43, has been identified as the shooter in Sunday's attack

He opened fire on West Freeway Church but his motive remains unclear

Volunteer security guard Jack Wilson took the shooter down within six seconds

Anton 'Tony' Wallace, 64, was among two people killed on Sunday morning

Richard White, 67, was also killed; he was another volunteer security guard

He had just passed out communion when the gunman opened fire

Witnesses say Kinnunen was new at the church and that he was wearing 'fake sunglasses, a fake beard and a jacket with writing on the back'

Police will not confirm a motive but his sister claims it was the anniversary of their brother's suicide

She believes Keith was on his own suicide mission and thought he would get shot

#1 We were afforded the opportunity by God, the government grants us nothing.

#2 The Pastor was referring to the Texas state government because in the last legislative session the removal of the prohibition against licensed carrying in churches, synagogues and other houses of worship was passed, and signed into law by Governor Abbott. Of course, former Presidential candidate O’Rourke and future former Presidential candidate Castro bemoaned the shooter’s inability to kill more innocents.

#3 I would expect a Texas minister to be standing over the dead guy's body with a Magnum, barrel still smoking, then blowing the smoke out of the barrel like Bruce Willis at the end of Die Hard when McClane caps Hans Gruber and that guy who looks like Huey Lewis.

#4 Hero former FBI agent, 70, who took down Texas church shooter and 64-year-old grandfather who was among the two innocent people killed when the gunman opened fire 'wearing a fake beard and sunglasses'

#10 The retired FBI agent owns On Target Shooting Range. The murderer has been ID'd in the link in one of the above comments but I refuse to say his name.

#11 Cities controlled by Democrats were passing ordinances against guns in churches so a statewide law was passed by Texas Republicans to override those ordinances.

#12 Cities controlled by Democrats were passing ordinances against guns in churches so a statewide law was passed by Texas Republicans to override those ordinances.

Democrat counties in Kansas were doing some real strange gun laws, so a state law was passed standardizing the state. Then we went Constitutional Carry, and there was much rejoicing.

#14 Ref #10: The retired FBI agent owns On Target Shooting Range.

Poor bastard failed the target surveillance block! Dike walking within 600 yrds of Carlos Hathcock, a potential metaphor ?
