Reactions to mass shootings in the United States admit little variation. Gun control groups diagnose an epidemic, the president declares a crisis and gun advocates prescribe more guns.
After nine people were killed Wednesday inside an historic African-American church in Charleston, South Carolina, that pattern has largely held – with the glaring exception of one extraordinary comment by a board member of the National Rifle Association.
That member suggested that worshippers who died in their own church “might be alive” if they had been carrying guns themselves.
Board member Charles Cotton posted a comment online blaming the pastor killed in the South Carolina shooting, Clementa Pinckney, for the death of his eight congregants. The comment has since been deleted.
