Active shooter at D.C. Navy yard

[lucky4034]

It'll be hard for the gun control nuts to justify additional control legislation based on this one, I would think, considering it happened in the most "gun free" zone in the country.

I wouldn't bet on that....

From an MSNBC goon:

Quote - "12 shot dead at the Navy Yard. Crickets from the NRA."

Somehow a shooting in a GFZ, in DC of all places, is the fault of the NRA. Impeccable logic.

Odd, I don't see Planned Parenthood making a statement every time a baby dies.

They will try. Sandyhook changed everything for some time to come. This is no Sandyhook, hopefully there never will be, but 13 dead is 13 dead. The anti-gun nuts will be all about linking this to Sandyhook, that you can bet on. We need to stay vigilante and not allow them to punish law abiding tax payers freedom to protect ourself. It's a slow news time to, that makes this all the worse. Syria is out of the picture, and even when it was a story no one cared. This will have legs, and gun rights will suffer if we don't stand guard.

The body's aren't cold and they have started...... sick.

They called the shooter a "military contractor", does that mean he was not part of the US military?

Ass hat number one Pierce Morgan will be on this like flies on . I'll have plenty of videos of him for Tuesday to post going off on legal gun owners......

FBI ? AARON ALEXIS - DECEASED

They're saying he killed the security guard, and took his pistol... ambushed a cop, took his AR. He started with only a shotgun.

I hope that any connections are explored. As the leader of Al-Qada called on independent strikes in the US last week. This a horrible tragedy for those involved. I wish The media would turn off until all facts are known, and verified. And once again, had those service members been allowed to defend themselves as they are trained to do it would have been much better. Pipe dream, I know

Heard on TV: "In the US guns are sold over-the-counter, anybody can buy one." (which implies there is no age limit, ID, background check or paperwork of any kind involved).

Much of the work that used to be done by soldiers or sailors up through Vietnam has been moved to either civil service or contractors. Thus most of the cooks these days are contractors. Most of the logistics (maintenance, supply, transportation, communications) is being done by contractors. For example, copier repair on an aircraft carrier is often done by a Xerox repairman who lives on the ship but is not a service member. Much of the Intel world is made up of contractors.

Clinton cut the civil service in half then replaced them with contractors. Now we have about 2 million civil servants and 8.5 million contractors, all doing the same work. The special agents who do security clearance investigations are contractors.

They just said on the BBC that the shooter was armed with a double barrel shotgun.
Not sure what Joe Biden will have to say about that.

[6mm Shoot]

I just read about this on my home page. They said that 13 were dead and I don't remember how many were hurt. Then on the side bar they had a pole that asked if you would support tougher gun laws because of the shooting. I said no. So did 78 % of other people that answered. I hope we are not going to go through that stuff again. I would like to buy some 22 long rifle with out taking out a loan.

According to chief of DC police, DC is the safest city in the US.

Anyone else heard that?

Really?

CNN said nothing about that.

Sylvain, google Mayor Barry saying (paraphrased) "besides the Murders, D.C. is the safest city in the USA". Circa 1989.

Ah I see how it can be the safest city besides the crime rate now!

 

[Sylvain]

CNN now says suspect was armed with "AR 15, rifle, Glock".

I guess an AR is not a rifle.
