I have three obvious things to point out about this Navy shooting that fly in the face of the standard gun lobby arguments.
1. The shooter bought his shotgun legally. This is directly against the belief we always hear that"criminals don't buy guns legally".

2. In spite of having armed security forces on base, the shooter was still able to kill a dozen people. Once again this is directly opposite of what the gun lobby constantly tells us, that criminals don't attack places where people are known to have guns.

3. How many times have we been told that if more people carried guns no one wouldn't get massacred because all the patriotic gun fanatics would shoot the shooter first?
That's zero for three for the gun myths.

He reached out for help and didn't get it, and besides military police is was a gun free zone I believe.
Anf didn't you already make a thread identical to this?edit on 17-9-2013 by GogoVicMorrow because: (no reason given)
Alexis reportedly legally purchased a shotgun in Lorton, Va., last week, according to The Washington Times citing three law enforcement officials on background. He brought that gun with him Monday morning and then allegedly obtained two handguns from some of his victims, which included a mix of civilian and military workers.
