NEW HAMPSHIRE – Presidential Candidate Joe Biden was outraged Texas churchgoers didn’t give a “verbal warning” or “more time” to an active shooter to reconsider his actions before returning fire Sunday.

“What do they think this is, some Wild West movie with gunslingers and bandits?” said Biden. “We have cops to carry guns and protect people. Sheriffs! If everyone just showed up with a gun, what kind of carnage would ensue? Imagine, ten people having guns, all shooting everything. Everyone needs to slow down. Give a stern warning. Call the fire department!”

Biden’s sentiments were echoed by 2nd amendment abolitionists everywhere claiming the six-second “good-guy-with-a-gun” response time wasn’t what stopped the mass shooting. “How could you assume such a thing? More time would have given the gunman a chance to reconsider his actions. Come to his senses. A verbal warning was the humane thing to do.” Said an angry protester outside Texas’ Austin Capitol.

“Tragedies like this, unsuspecting gunmen killed before they’re able to consider their actions… Terrible. This could be avoided if stricter gun-control and red flag laws were immediately mandated nationwide!” said Biden.
