NRA's LaPierre calls for more armed personnel after Navy Yard shooting

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

In his first television interview since the mass shooting last Monday in which gunman Aaron Alexis killed 12 people, LaPierre, the executive vice president of the NRA, described the Navy Yard as a military facility that was “largely left unprotected.”

LaPierre said more personnel who work at military facilities, including retired military personnel, should be armed so they are able to stop attacks such as the one at the Navy Yard.

“We need to look at letting the men and women that know firearms and are trained in them, do what they do best, which is protect and survive,” he said.

Obviously, Wayne never served a day in the military.

Obviously, Wayne never served a day in the military.

The shooter took Biden's advice.

The government should take Wayne Lapierre's.

It was a good man with a gun that eneded the situation (as always) but he was 12 people late. Rather than count how many minutes he was late, we can instead use the "people count". This makes the miltary a little better than Sandy Hook, CT where the good guys with guns were 20 people late. The sooner you get the good guys there with guns in a "gun free" zone, the sooner the situation ends. Or never begins.

In any case, there will be no new gun control laws. The government can take pro-active, effective steps to prevent this...or it can sit by as congress does nothing. Fortunately, in this case no one needs legislation which will never be forth coming, it could be done by executive order. Obama should ask Putin if it is OK.

He also calls for -Which attacks the root of the problem...Wow wanting to keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill and locking up those who break gun laws --AMAZING

Increasing funds for a stricter and more efficient mental health system, and reform of civil commitment laws to facilitate institutionalization of the mentally ill when necessary.

Creating a computerized universal mental health registry to help limit gun sales to the mentally ill.

Increasing enforcement of federal laws against and incarceration of violent gang members or felons with guns.

Project Exile and similar programs that mandate severe sentences for all gun crimes especially illegal possession. LaPierre stated "By prosecuting them they prevent the drug dealer, the gang member and the felon from committing the next crime....Leave the good people alone and lock up the bad people and dramatically cut crime."[

So hard to keep all these threads straight.

[Penny Lane 8,159]

All these gun threads run together for me. Sorry.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

No apologies necessary.
