| Fed Gun Laws Didn't Stop Navy Yard Shooter |

| Ay-Pee. Radio said he tried to buy an AR-15, but did not have a Virginia Drivers License, so he bought a shotgun, and passed the background check. But like other recently accused mass shooters, Alexis was never declared mentally ill by a judge or committed to a hospital. The Virginia Tech shooter, Seung Hi Cho, was declared mentally ill by a judge, but nobody ever reported it to federal authorities to get him included in the database of banned purchasers. Obama said Tuesday he was concerned that an American ritual could emerge where every few months, the nation suffers a horrific mass shooting, then fails to take action to stop the next one from occurring. "I've taken steps that are within my control," Obama said. "The next phase now is for Congress to go ahead and move." The radio had a guy on this morning echoing Dr. White's perspective (yesterday, comment #19) that the shooter's brain was not working right and that he might have even thought he was saving lives. Still, Reid said he hopes to get another gun control vote this year. "I don't want any more bad things to happen, you know. Something's going to have to get the attention of these characters who don't want any controls." Dinky Harry. I may be a character, but you are a moron. But I also give you DiFi - Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Caliphornia, a leading advocate for tougher gun control in the Senate, said in a statement that the shooting "is one more event to add to the litany of massacres. "Congress must stop shirking its responsibility and resume a thoughtful debate on gun violence in this country. We must do more to stop this endless loss of life," she said. Not to mention protect your phony-baloney job and gravy train, where you can direct more business to your husband's company. |

#8 This incident should have led to some action, but didn't, from WaPo:Several security-risk experts said there was a key moment when the system should have flagged Alexis: on Aug. 7, when police in Newport, R.I., alerted the Newport Naval Air Station that he was found hallucinating and in distress in a hotel room. The police said that Navy officials told them they would follow up, but that nothing indicates they did. Experts said the report should have led the Navy to enter Alexis’s name into the military’s shared database of contractors and employees with security clearances. “You have to applaud the Newport police for following up and alerting the Navy base,” Sowell said. “They could have just put it into the file in their records, but they went the extra mile. That is certainly information that should have made its way into the right hands in the Navy.” On Wednesday, Hagel said the military will look at how that report should have been handled. When the local police are concerned enough to notify the DOD directly, you'd think someone would have done something, but no. |

| #5 Drudge today has links to an article that points out how numerous MSM outlets continue to yammer on about a fictitious AR-15 but won't report the possible involvement of psych meds. According to the article the VA had almost certainly prescribed meds that have troubling histories of involvement in these types of shootings. It doesn't ask if he would have shot whether he took the meds or not because he was crazy. Even so, the whole meds angle certainly wouldn't fit the narrative being pushed by Reid and DiFi. |

| #4 Of course they didn't, they were never meant too. Gun laws will NEVER work to stop this kind of thing until these people get to their desired end state of confiscating ALL firearms. That would seriously dent the ability of the nut-jobs to get their hands on a gun. HOWEVER, the "police" would still have full military capability to defend the elite as they take full tyrannical control which they cannot attain while the citizens are armed. But that's the whole point of the 2nd isn't it? |

| #3 Fed Gun Laws Didn't Stop Navy Yard Shooter Of course not, what stops shooters is a GUN, in the hands of someone willing to stop them, Of course you won't hear this, It's the gun at fault, not the shooter, |

| #1 rented a rifle, bought bullets and used the range before buying the shotgun and 24 shells. Slocum said Alexis passed a federal background check. Thank you for nothing, Joe Biden. |
