Shooting at Washington Navy Yard

[Greed and Death]

Doesn't the military have a bunch of restrictions on operating within the United States anyways?

No. The CIA does. The military routinely polices its own property in the country. The military police investigate crimes committed by and against service members. Haven't you ever watched NCIS?

But the military can not enforce state laws absent an emergency thanks to the posse comitatus act. An officer ordered MPs to direct traffic to free up local officers in a small town to address an on going mass shooting.

That officer was given a fine and letter of reprimand.

The FBI have apparently gained some insight into why Alexis decided to shoot up the Navy Yard. Extremely Low Frequency electromagnetic waves made him do it. No, really.

ELF attack is what I've been subject to for the last three months, and to be perfectly honestly that is what has driven me to this

So...we can't blame politics for this one?

We must play electrical stuff.

Sounds legit.

I suppose one could try to blame the US government for using ELF attacks against Alexis in the first place, but one would most likely be taken for a nut.

Blame North Korea.

So now the goalpost moves from "The Only Thing That Can Stop a Bad Guy With a Gun, is a Good Guy With a Gun" to "We Need More Good Guys With Guns". I wonder how long before it gets to "The Only Thing That Stop a Bad Guy With a Gun, is a Good Guy With a Rocket Launcher"?

You're missing where the NRA wants to go with this.

"The only way to stop a Bad Guy With a Gun™ is if EVERYBODY Has a Gun."

Mandatory ownership, mandatory carry EVERYWHERE AT ALL TIMES, felony charges if you don't, and felony disenfranchisement to keep the anti-gun crowd from ever voting again in order to make the change to American life permanent.

Selling guns to all sides.

I could swear in the 20th Century, that was called "war profiteering".

Capitalism FTW.

Take this and make a helmet ASB.
It's the only way to counteract the NRAs subliminally broadcast propaganda.

Might have protected Alexis from the ELF attack.

Everyone knows aluminum foil magnifies the mind-control beams. You need tin foil — which is why THEY don't make it any more.

Fnord.

Oh, of course, my...mistake. Yeah that's it. Mistake.

The Bat has seen the spelunker! I repeat, the bat has seen the spelunker! Abandon the operation!

[Breadknife]

He was horribly, horribly mistaken. It wasn't ELF that was to blame, but ELO.

(I came up with that particular crackpot theory while doing some Mr Blue Sky thinking.)

Capitalism FTW.

It is what we did for the first half of WWI and it is what made us one of the strongest richest countries on earth.

Since we are slipping maybe it is time we egg two sets of countries into a massive war with each other and sell weapons to both sides.

Think we can turn Russia and China on one another again? That was great.

[New England and The Maritimes]

It's the bailout for the arms industry that never ends.

Let Detroit die... but let Tombstone live!

But... Springfield is in a commie state!

[Fartsniffage]

Is anyone else worried that a thread about a mass shooting has only gained 25 pages of replies on NSG?

Has it become so common place that it's almost ignored?

I was thinking Russia vs. the EU.
We could come in at the last minute claim all the credit for winning despite only suffering a minimal of causalities and being in a minimal amount of time.

We Yanks need something to rub over the Europeans again.

This is how news coverage works, the next few mass shootings will only scroll across the bottom of the screen on cnn now.
It will be 4 to 5 years before it is shocking again and can be used as a catalyst for gun control.
