Navy Yard Shooting

[canadiankid]

perpetrated in a GUN FREE ZONE .................... yet again

All but 2 mass shootings(over 3 shot) occured in a gun free zone.

It gets worse. It was done in a gun free zone in a gun free city. Thats gunfreezone^2. How could that happen? Also it was done with one of those fancy assault type ar-15 shotguns.

*facepalm*

Seriously, making guns harder to get to prevent mass shootings is like making cars harder to buy to prevent drunk driving. And then they proposed a gun tax? That carrys over again. Taxing guns to prevent shootings is like taxing gas to prevent DUI's. Seriously, when will gun grabbers wake up from their stupid coma.

The day federal buildings are declared gun free zones, ie not even security is carrying, is the day I will start to reason with gun grabbers. Until then, they can go ____ themselves. Hell, I'm Canadian and I will never give up my guns....ever.

PS, anyone who says NRA is responsible and profits will increase for them(I see this on Twitter all the time) clearly has no idea what exactly it is the NRA does.

Way to douche it up, NRA.

To sum it up:
The NRA is not responsible for the lack of gun control in this country.
Its your own fault for being a victim.
Stop getting in the way of bullets.

And what responsibility does the NRA have over this?

It does seem kind of ridiculous that a Military establishment cannot protect it's own doesn't it?

It's a facility dedicated mostly to a bunch of civilians in office buildings. It's a "military establishment" because they support the Navy projects.

You'd be surprised how many civilians there are working on most bases in this area.

Just like anything else, government facilities have differing levels of protection/security. (e.g. Pentagon vs Navy Yard)

Way to avoid responsibility and sound like a complete douche in the process, NRA.

NRA chief criticizes Navy Yard for being 'unprotected' before mass shooting

(Reuters) - A National Rifle Association leader criticized the Washington Navy Yard on Sunday for being "unprotected" last week when a mass shooting left 13 dead, including the shooter.

Obviously a liberal troll but what the hell...

Meanwhile back in the real world another 13 people are shot in a single attack including a 3 year old. I'm sure the guns had nothing to do with it... right?

Damn guns going on shooting sprees again,they are dangerous.
Someone should shut down skynet so these killing machines stop shooting people by themselves.:loco:

There has been much speculation (not nec. in this thread) about the choice of theatres. I do not know the shooter's reasons, but these kind of massacres predominately occur in "gun free zones".

Well, all we have is speculation with regards to Holmes's motives and plans. I don't think anyone can definitively state one way or the other.

I think you are in error to imply that an insanity defense means that the perpetrator must have acted illogically. It has been reported that he planned the assault two months prior and purchased his tickets twelve days before.

True, until the trial happens we shouldn't assume anything about his motives, intent or knowledge.

I was also under the impression that most concealed carry laws have a criminal penalty associated with violating a properly posted prohibition against concealed carry. Are you certain Colorado has no criminal statute that would apply in that situation?

That's only my general understanding about how trespass charges work--they have to ask you to leave for <reason> and if you return you can be charged with trespass. I don't know if certain states allow someone to be arrested for carrying a weapon onto private property where the owners have stated that you should not carry on their property.
