NRA News Regular: Charleston Shooting Victims’ Relatives Showed “Serious Weakness” By Forgiving Gunman http://t.co/l6QyrojnEp

On June 19 several family members of victims killed in a June 17 mass shooting at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, attended the first court appearance of the alleged gunman and forgave the man for killing members of their family.

Hours later Katz, who makes regular Friday appearances on the NRA program Cam & Company, reacted to the court appearance by calling the move to forgive not “a moment of strength” but rather “a moment of serious weakness that we do not respond with a ‘you don’t get to kill us, we kill you.’”

Katz continued, “As a matter of fact, we kill you tenfold, who’s in your family today?” — putting forward the suggestion that the family members of accused murderers should be murdered themselves in retribution.

He concluded by calling his reaction — which included advocacy for the killing of innocent people — “far more natural and in many ways far more decent than sometimes the reactions I see.”
