If there's one simple, painfully straightforward phrase in the English language that never fails to stymie liberals' basic powers of comprehension, it's the four words "shall not be infringed."
Just a week after an armed citizen took down a gunman and stopped a massacre inside a Texas church, Democratic 2020 contender and former gun-grabbing New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg shrugged off that act of heroism and asserted that we shouldn’t let “the average citizen [carry] a gun.”
“It may be true — I wasn’t there, I don’t know the facts — that somebody in the congregation had their own gun and killed the person who murdered two other people,” Bloomberg told a crowd in Montgomery, Alabama on Monday. “But it’s the job of law enforcement to have guns and to decide when to shoot. “You just do not want the average citizen carrying a gun in a crowded place.”
While Democrats continue to be mad that @realDonaldTrump killed the world’s most dangerous terrorist, let’s not forget Michael Bloomberg is also mad that Jack Wilson was carrying a firearm and was able to prevent a massacre at his church in Texas.pic.twitter.com/Fwjtvyfe14

Jack Wilson, average citizen and head of West Freeway Church of Christ’s security team, is credited with saving an untold number of lives after he fired a single round at a gunman who’d opened fire on his fellow parishioners last Sunday, killing the would-be mass shooter less than six seconds after he began his deadly rampage. One congregation member was shot and killed at the scene, while another died after being transported to the hospital.
While two deaths is beyond tragic, Wilson's quick actions saved God-only-knows how many more lives thanks to the Second Amendment, that pesky document that -- like it or not -- specifically enumerates the average citizens' right to carry guns.
Sorry, I used big words. Let me rephrase: shove off, Mike.
