Valerie Parlave, head of the FBI’s Washington field office, said Alexis was not carrying an AR-15 assault rifle when he arrived, as had been previously reported by some news media."

Please don't blame the massacre on the NRA and not on the perpetrator and the people who gave him security clearance and ID. A no-gun zone like the navy yard probably had lots of trained active military and veterans who are highly qualified to have a weapon on them, but they did not. They were weaponless while trained and qualified to have a weapon to defend themselves. I'd imagine they were wishing they had a weapon to stop the bloodshed.
No-gun zones are easy pickin's for criminals with no regard for gun laws. |
Maybe, but the NRA is responsible for this guy being able to buy guns that he used to kill the people. They are at the very least in favor of guns for everyone regardless of mental status. They claim not, but yet they use their membership to get any sensible legislation voted down. If anyone supports the NRA, they are accessories to these latest murders for blocking legislation that would have stopped this man from buying a gun.
a gun.
