54. So yes or no?

Do you agree with this statement made by Charles Cotton, NRA Board member:

"And he (pastor Clementa Pinckney, among the dead) voted against concealed-carry. Eight of his church members who might be alive if he had expressly allowed members to carry handguns in church are dead."

Simple question, no 'badly-tortured attempts' at anything. Just so we are on the same playing field, I find the statement appalling and absurd. Straight-up wrong - inaccurate and based on no reasonable assumptions.

If you can't answer yes or no then nothing else you have to say has any relevance on the subject. The title of this thread is "An NRA board member 'goes there' re: SC massacre" and the thread is explicitly about the statement I refer to. Yes or no?
