Far be it for CNN to actually delve into the facts....
I guess someone must do it for them.
It's ok. This is such a clear and egregious case of CNN, other select media outlets and politicians (DiFi) completely ignoring the facts that in the coming days or weeks there's going to be ample opportunity to hammer them on their demagoguery.
I'm willing to bet that the NRA is absolutely salivating over how they've jumped the gun in trying to perpetuate the narrative and have the press releases and advert scripts pointing out their duplicity ready to go.
This isn't Newtown, where the gun-rights side is going to have to fight an uphill battle. The gun-grabbers are going to take it in the face with a 2x4 that they handed to us ...

This whole thing, too soon after the Colorado victories, and too soon are we being “informed” about the supposed shooter, that it stinks like 3 day old fish!
A guy, in the Navy Yard, blasting off an AR15?? Really??
By the way that same supposed Navy yard has been portrayed for years on the TV show “NCIS”, there WASN’T a camera SOMEWHERE that wasn’t being watched? Really??
“The shooter has a security clearance.” They have signs stating that your bags you carry WILL be searched upon entry. Yet, SOMEHOW, this shooter secreted a 30 inch long rifle, made of metals that trip detectors, into the complex?? Really??
Mr. Obama, this is another one of your ‘hail mohammed’ football passes.
FLAG DOWN ON THE PLAY AT THE 10 YD. LINE, NO FIRST DOWN, 8 YARDS TO GO!

One guy with any kind of personal weapon immobilizing 3000 American military personnel for eight hours make Audie Murphy and Alvin York sound like Richard Simmons and Pee Wee Herman. l make no claim to being a tactical genius but it passes my poor understanding how our military prevails in any situation. If we trust the Navy with aircraft carriers, the Air Force with B-1 bombers, the Army with tanks and the Marines with, well with Marines, we should be able to trust at least some of these folks with side arms.
Maybe I’m just ranting.

He snuck in a shotgun.... well, more precisely, blasted his way in with a shotgun. He shot a security guard at a checkpoint, took the pistol, then shot a DC cop who responded, taking his AR-15 or M4.

He was a CCW holder, and military contractor. The fact that he was African American is a bonus (so they can’t be viewed as anti white).
And prices were just coming down.

My thoughts, too.
He went there carrying only Jokin’ Joe Biden’s weapon of choice.
Way to go, Joe!

Conspiracy theory..
“The gubmint is behind these shootings and needed ANOTHER crisis to keep the heat off odumbo’s antics. Never let a good crisis go to waste.”
That should get things started again.

They’re gutting and hollowing-out the Military now, so disarming is just a formality for the UN to do under that Small Arms Treaty, which 0bummer’ll sign.

The three-round bursts make it sound like he had an M4/M16, which he couldn't possibly have bought at WalMart.
Diane Feinstein and the gun grabbing media are going waaaaaaay out on a very high limb with a big crack. Are they actually arguing that police and MPs shouldn't be issued semi-automatic pistols and automatic rifles?

Wanted to add something.
This article barely mentions the Navy Yard shooting. It was clearly prewritten and put on the shelf for use in the next mass-shooting that involved an AR-15.
Someone at CNN really screwed up by letting it loose in a shooting where the gunman started with a shotgun and the AR-15 involved was a serviceweapon picked up off a cop killed ... with the shotgun.

There’s a LOT we don’t know and probably will never know, about this.

That’s what I thought....LOL
I’m going to start traveling around Feb/Mar.
I’ll ping you and we can go to a nice restaurant down by the big chicken.

ALL US Military should be armed, at all times. Ft Hood showed us that. Look for more of these to happen.
