Colonel Dan, SASS #24025 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 The GOA and Team SASS are on exactly the same page! ~ Colonel Dan ~ Last spring, as networks like MSNBC launchedfive months of saturation coverage intended to force gun control on the Americanpeople, we said, over and over and over and over again, that there was(tragically) “another Adam Lanza” sitting out there, glued to his TV screen, andplanning his own five months of fame.” As it became clear that Congress was notgoing to pass gun control in April, MSNBC commentators said, almost wistfully,that it would take another mass shooting to reinvigorate their cause. Well, they got the mass shooting they werelooking for. On Monday, a discharged Navy enlisted manentered a “heavily secure” Naval installation in Washington D.C. and engaged ina series of firefights, which ultimately left 12 others dead. As the liberal media exploits this new setof victims to resurrect its war on guns, we will say again: “There are one ormore creeps like Aaron Alexis watching your coverage and planning their own timeon your network. And, when they strike, the blood, once again, will be on yourhands.” Although we don’t know all the details, wecan make several observations: * First, once again, the shooting occurred in agun-free zone, filled with ID checks and metal detectors that everyoneerroneously assumed would save them. * Second, theshooting occurred in a jurisdiction, Washington D.C., which has been rabid inits efforts to take guns away from its own citizens -- and to make it illegalfor Washingtonians to defend themselves. *Third, lest there be any question, Congress hasbanned the possession of any “firearm or other dangerous weapon in a Federalfacility” [18 USC, Sec. 930]. Hence, they all but advertised to Alexis, that,with the exception of security, everyone in the Naval facility would be sittingducks. In sum, the shooting occurred in ajurisdiction where the firearm was illegal and in a building where firearms areillegal. Other than banning firearms nationally, how many more illegalities doanti-gunners intend to pile on? Banning guns and imposing background checkswon’t stop these creeps, but armed good guys will. Remember that the Oregonshooter last December stole his AR-15 before killing two people at the Clackamasmall. But he retreated when he saw Nick Meli, who holds a concealed carrypermit, draw his gun and point it at him. The killer then retreated and tookhis own life. Given that putting guns in good people’shands will save lives, why are law-abiding personnel being disarmed here onmilitary bases? How ironic that when CNN’s John Roberts asked a military spouseif she was anxious about her husband being deployed to Afghanistan (in 2009),she responded: “At least he’s safe there and he can fire back,right?” Efforts will be made to scapegoat Virginiafor this most recent tragedy. But, not coincidentally, Alexis did not attack aVirginia locale where potential victims could defend themselves withguns. ACTION: Contact your senators andrepresentative. Let them know that, despite the efforts of the liberal media tomilk this tragedy for political gain, the problem is not the Second Amendment.The problem is anti-gun laws and policies. Link to comment
