magley64 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Oh, and cue the gun control fanatics. High profile gun crimes spur some gun control advocates to bolster their position that guns are too prevalent and too easy to obtain? WHAT!?

WHAT!? Yup. More laws would totally help. I mean, it isn't like the shooter(s) would break the law. DC is totally a gun friendly place, and carrying an AR around is totally legal. Nevermind how legal it is to carry at the Navy Yard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) I think you may have "gun control advocates" and "gun owner rights advocates" confused here bud. I don't think so... Gun control means controlling the distribution and possession of firearms. If every gun control advocate wants new laws banning guns everywhere:Then every gun owner advocate wants every gun law overturned, and everyone carrying all the time. Fact is, Most of us reside somewhere between those polar opposites. Edited September 16, 2013 by magley64 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/16/us/dc-navy-yard-gunshots/index.html The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives sent a team of about 20 special agents to the scene, a law enforcement official said. The team was the same group that helped apprehend Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the official said. So anyone involved or thought to be involved will end up dead.

JohnG Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Obama sets the tone with his opening remarks, "...here we are yet again faced with another mass shooting." Stand by for more posturing, blaming and cries for even more gun control. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbarron77 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 yeah....let's put more restrictions on access to guns, even though CHL's are not valid on Federal Land(i.e. - Any Navy, Army, Marine, or Air Force installation like the one listed at the beginning of this thread). yep....makes sense....why not put a restriction that drugs can't be sold in a school zone? or make a law against speeding?

Casper Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/inside-politics/2013/sep/16/russian-official-mocks-navy-yard-shooting/ A new shootout at Navy headquarters in Washington — a lone gunman and 7 corpses. Nobody’s even surprised anymore. A clear confirmation of American exceptionalism. -- Alexey Pushkov, a member of the Russian parliamentary foreign affairs committee.
