And when they empty a clip...no reloading!
Just toss the empty gun aside and grab a new one from the wall.

The point is, many here have been wailing long and loud how this never would have happened if the Naval Yard hadn't been a "GUN FREE ZONE".
Now the truth comes out and it turns out it ISN'T a gun free zone after all...it was just another bullshit lie from a JPP gun nut.

except that it is a gun free zone... just as in DC in general, but the cops still have guns... just as the guards did. There is a difference. Try and learn it.

actually, it would be better to simply reload the same gun with a new clip. That way you don't have to adjust to how the new gun fires (unless they are all sighted the same and are the same gun make/model)

Dungheap said it best, but this does show that having people armed does NOT stop mass shootings.

Okay. Do you think they're better odds of stopping a shooter if someone on site is armed or no one on site is armed?

It's irrelevant. Shooters have been stopped by unarmed people talking to them. Shooters have also been stopped by shooting. That should not be the decision point on whether to allow guns on a site or not.
As shown by the op and by other stories - guns falling out of pockets in theaters and whatnot - the decision to allow guns or not has to include the chance of those guns being lost or taken let's say by a kid at school, etc.
Arming anyone to stop a mass shooting at one particular facility - since there may never be a shooting there and since they may do no good if there is one- you have to consider safety factors.
I assume at the Naval yard those who were armed did not leave their guns lying around in a bathroom.
At schools, offices, movie theaters, capitol buildings - the chances of accidents are so much greater than the chance of ever stopping a shooter, that allowing guns to be carried is stupid.

Do you think anyone considered him a "responsible" gun owner before this?
Isn't every single gun owner considered to be "responsible"...right up to the point they do something stupid like this?

complete and utter obfuscation on your part.

this is proof positive that no government employee of any type should ever have the right to bear arms.
don't really see the problem with this. No one was hurt, we need guns being everywhere to be a commonality. I am sure there are plenty of knives all over the capital kitchen, but no one is worried about someone going around stabbing a bunch of people.

What, pray tell, is so shocking about hollow points being legal? Do you enjoy the idea of over penetration?

"Over penetration"
Not a problem a "little guy" like Billy has to worry about very often.

wouldn't this be resorting to ad homs because you can't argue rationally or honestly?????

So the cops have guns...and the guards have guns...but you still maintain it's a gun free zone.

these are easily defensible because their paid to maintain order. If we held these highly trained experts to a higher standard, nobody would want to do the job.
