How Political Correctness and Stupid Policies Yielded Up The Navy Yard Massacre
Townhall.com ^ | September 22, 2013 | Doug Giles

Posted on 09/22/2013 4:25:25 AM PDT by Kaslin

Is anyone else ticked that we’ve all been forced to know the now-dead-and-in-hell piece of shiitake named Aaron Alexis? However livid we may be, I’m sure it can’t compare to the rage the family members and friends of the ones he mowed down must feel.

For those who only watch MTV and have no clue who Aaron Alexis is, well, he’s the dude that shot and killed twelve innocent people at the Navy Yard military base in D.C. last Monday. That would be as in Washington, D.C. It’s the same D.C. that has uberstrict, leftist guns laws in place that, once again, appear to appeal to mass murderers. Duh.

Not only does the District of Columbia have ridiculous and unconstitutional gun laws, but also, thanks to former president Bill Clinton, our military bases are verboten to protect themselves on bases nationwide. Yep, one of Bill’s first acts upon taking office in ’93 was to disarm soldiers while they were on base.

Here’s a pop quiz for you: Guess how many shootings have occurred on our U.S. military bases prior to this gun ban? If you guessed zero then you’re an astute cookie. Now guess the number of shootings that have gone down since Clinton enacted his idiotic gun ban? If you guessed sixteen you’d be right on. What’s up with Bill and “Benghazi Hillary” not wanting to protect our soldiers? Weird, eh?

Anyway, as stated, last Monday Alexis, high on stupidity and self pity and in obedience to the “voices”, weaseled his way onto one of our multitudinous, unarmed military bases and wreaked havoc with the dastardly AR-15.

Oh, wait. He didn’t use an AR-15. But OMG, that didn’t stop Piers Morgan from wanting him to have used one, so much so that, facts be damned, Piers ran with that intentional lie on his unwatched cable show. And, man oh man, he was really selling that swill until the facts smacked him in the face that, contrary to his agenda, it was a Remington 870 shotgun that Alexis wielded.

What’s next, Piers? Are you going to try to ban the 870? Good luck with that one, you snaggle-toothed Brit. This cherished scattergun is ensconced as an esteemed piece of slide-gun American history. It’s right up there with the lever-gun Winchester 94. But you probably have no idea what the heck I’m talking about, do you?

Along with Clinton’s goofy, gun-free-zone, military base mandate, there were many other breakdowns in agencies and communities that allowed this demonic seed to take root and produce mass murderous fruit.

To be positive, here’s what I recommend that we do, going forward, to greatly reduce the likelihood of this ever occurring again:

1. Dear NSA: Since you guys like to snoop, why don’t you peel away from hacking blue-haired, Presbyterian, Tea Party grannies' email accounts for awhile and, I don’t know, maybe poke around a bit into the in-box of the criminally insane? Alexis had a military disciplinary record that included disorderly conduct, defiance, unexcused absences and hearing voices.

His dull friends and relatives have also pointed out that he had a preoccupation with the 9/11 attacks, felt “screwed over” as a veteran, had money problems, and hated the U.S.

His police record records that this idiot had rage blackouts, shot his neighbors tires out and popped a cap in his neighbor’s apartment because she was too loud for his tastes. Oh, and right before he went full moron he created a web-page named “Mohammed Salem” But somehow, some way, you missed this cat that was waving more red flags than a Chinese parade. It’s kind of similar to how you missed the Boston Bombers and Nadil Malik Hassan. No offense, of course.

2. Dear friends and family members: If you knew all that crap about Aaron, then why didn’t you tase that SOB, duct tape him and then transport Woody Woodpecker to an exorcist or to that insane asylum that they put Hannibal Lecter in? Geez, people. Really? Look, I know you want to be positive and an encourager to those going through a rough patch, but this cat clearly had derailed and you did squat about it. Good luck sleeping at night, jackasses.

3. Dear Therapeutic community: Can we get back to scraping frontal lobes and administering electroshock to those who’re violent and talk to Labradoodles? I know it’s brutal, but it’s not as cruel as having to bury twelve innocent people because you released this high-octane zombie with high-octane dope back into the public arena.

4. And lastly, Dear President Obama: How about allowing our military on our military bases to carry their military weapons? Sure Alexis might have gotten off a shot, but it would have been, probably, just one round before our elite forces would have made Swiss cheese out of that foul weed.

If my advice were heeded, I'm betting that we wouldn’t be forced to know many more like Aaron Alexis.

What do you think America?

5. Next time a massacre is underway and the police have a SWAT team in place to assault and take down the shooter, why don’t you allow - allow - that to be done? Or is Benghazi actually the template for your preferred scenario when your employees find themselves in desperate circumstances? 4 killed in Benghazi, 12 killed at the Navy Yard, what’s next?

PC has killed a hell of a lot more than those 12 and has been doing so for decades. I often think of the families (since I daily come across the graves) and wonder at the degree to which reality pervades their ruminations on their deceased father. You’d think the sheer grief would blow away delusion but I wouldn’t bet on it.

When I was in the Air Force stationed at Mtn. Home AFB, as a single Airman living in the dormatories, I was not allowed to have my firearms in the dorm. I had to keep them locked up in the base armory, and check them out anytime I wanted to use them.

This was during the Carter adminstration.

Over the years I’ve become convinced this is a multi-step program. At first it was to disarm the citizenry and turn them into the ‘Victimry’ who were to depend upon the police and others ‘authorized’ to carry arms to protect them.

Then the police got a Supreme Court ruling that said that they were NOT obligated to come to the rescue of anyone. Then the military was disarmed to the point that only the military ‘police’ were armed and authorized to have ammunition on the bases.

The end result? The Citizenry is supposed to just ‘take it’ whenever a criminal decides that it’s their turn to ‘take it’. Dittos for the military in their bases on U.S. Soil. The Government though; ‘Oops, sorry about that... You have to take it and we aren’t obligated to defend you either.’

It’s no wonder I see CWII dawning on the horizon and like a sunrise it’s getting brighter all the time.

SWAT teams are not for this sort of situation. They exist to shoot dogs at the wrong address, grandparents at the wrong address, and in general those who cling to God and guns.

We’re so busy protecting the rights of the mentally ill that we’re ignoring the rights of the rest of society.

In my county there have been 2 cases in the last 3 years where mentally ill people committed truly brutal murders after the families of the perps had unsuccessfully tried to have their family members involuntarily committed.

Same as Ft Hood, Chicago, DC, and every other major liberal city. Disarm the good guys and the bad guys will run amok.

Who ever heard of people on a military base not being armed? Heck, in my city, nearly EVERYONE is armed!

The cops didn't go in at Columbine, either - people died. I cannot imagine how these teams are highly trained, well equipped, wearing body armor, and arriving in force, and made (or allowed) to stand outside and let people die.

“It’s no wonder I see CWII dawning on the horizon and like a sunrise it’s getting brighter all the time.”

I don’t see CWII, but I do see the seceshers gaining prominence. Which could quite possibly will result in CWII.

And for the record, I oppose both. Although I think secession of one or more states is coming whether I like it or not.

Disarmed citizens are attacked in a mass shooting and have no defense against a solo gunman. The solution,strip law abiding citizens of their weapons. The agenda is clear the government wants to interpret the Second Amendment to read:
The possession of fire arms being necessary for the preservation of the United States Federal Government, the right of the Federal Government and the individual States under Federal license and their designated agents to have the sole monopoly of arms shall not be infringed.

Obama should declare the White House, the Capitol, the Supreme Court and all federal government offices to be totally gun free.

Guards and Secret Service can keep their weapons safely locked up in a central armory on the Washington, DC Navy base.

That should put an end to the senseless violence.

Hey, the Gun-Free tactic works in Chicago, doesn’t it?

I don’t support CWII, and that is why I warn about it. A civil war is a lose/lose for the country and everyone within it.

What I do see is a group of people who are doing everything they can to ‘change’ the country and because of that they want CWII so that they can impose their idea of a utopian ‘police state’ with them at the top and everyone else kissing their ‘a**es’.
