WAYNE, Michigan (PNN) - July 23, 2025 - There’s a very specific kind of mass shooting story the media don’t like to cover… it is the kind that doesn’t happen because a good guy with a gun
stopped it cold.
Roughly a month ago, a man stormed into a Michigan church during Sunday worship and opened fire. It could have ended in total carnage, but it didn’t. That is because a legally armed,
everyday churchgoer took him down. No military training. No law enforcement background. Just courage, quick action and a gun.
This should have been front-page news. It wasn’t, and we all know why… because it doesn’t fit the Communist Left’s anti-gun agenda. They would rather Amerikans believe that firearms are the
problem, not the psychopaths who use them. But the truth is, more often than not, guns save lives. That is not just a marketing slogan. It is a fact.
The gun control lobby loves to promise safety, but all it has really delivered is more victims. Disarmed citizens, soft targets and a culture of helplessness. The Communist Left has
built a society where law-abiding people are told to sit still, pray for mercy and wait for the cops - while criminals do whatever they want with whatever weapons they can acquire.
Guns, knives, machetes, acid, bombs - you name it - evil will always find a tool. However, the difference between life and death is what good people have at their disposal. Thankfully, we live
in a country where the right to bear arms still exists - and millions of Amerikans take that responsibility seriously.
Contrary to media’s fearmongering, the overwhelming majority of gun owners are good, moral, responsible people. Concealed carriers especially; and here is the proof.
Only .002% of 12.8 million Amerikans with concealed carry permits have committed a firearm violation.
An NRA member has never committed a mass shooting.
Criminals love gun control because it means they are the only ones in control of the guns.
Blame criminals not guns.
So no, it is not “more laws” we need. It is more men and women like this next hero about whom we are about to tell you.
According to a report from ABC News, a legally armed churchgoer named Jay Trombley prevented what could have easily been a mass casualty event inside a house of worship.
Trombley, a member of the church’s security team with no military or police experience, helped prevent what Wayne Police Chief Ryan Strong said could have been “a large-scale mass shooting.” Inside the church, worshippers first heard what sounded like a jackhammer - what turned out to be 10 shots fired by the suspect.
The shooter got off ten shots while families were sitting in pews. This could have ended in a complete bloodbath, if not for one thing: a good guy with a gun.
This is exactly the scenario gun control activists pretend doesn’t exist. But it does, and it happens a lot more often than they want to admit. It is also proof that armed citizens aren’t the
problem; they are the solution. You don’t need a badge to protect your community. You just need courage, clarity and the right to carry.
“By the grace of God, he missed me,” Trombley said of avoiding getting shot in the confrontation. “He hit another person in the calf. After that, I engaged him and took care of the
threat.”
“I realize what happened yesterday, what my actions did,” he said. “I will reconcile with the Lord on the time for that. I was protecting His people.”
The church had recently changed plans to hold services indoors rather than outside; Bible School children would have been walking through the lobby during the attack had the schedule not been altered due to vacation.
Clearly, God’s timing saved lives that day.
According to cops, Browning had no criminal history but appeared to be in the middle of a mental health breakdown. Nobody is sure of his motive. But here is what actually is clear: the only thing that stopped him from turning that church into a mass grave was a legally armed citizen who was ready, trained and able to fight back.
This is why the Second Amendment matters. This is why we carry. This is exactly why media don’t rush to report these stories.
The truth is simple: guns in the hands of good people save lives.
