If church and its members permited weapons, how do you know that assault rifles would not be part of the arsenal? Are you going to dictate what is and what isn't a suitable weapon for self-defense? In fact, you have no way of knowing what kind of weapons the parishioners would choose to own.
True, the gunman entered the building shooting, but he probably knew about the guard. If he thought his gun would cause no major worry he might choose to walk in, say hello, and enter the sanctuary untouched. Who knows? In any case, the church policy of stationing a trained guard worked. They avoided guns in the sanctuary.

I never said she was hired. I said that if the church felt that it needed more security than just one trained guard it could hire more security guards, unless of course they have enough volunteers. The employment status is irrelevant.
