NRA Answer This Question
This past
Friday was Friday the 13th.
Although, I am not in the least superstitious, (on a
conscious level) on these days I feel a slight
uneasiness. I am always glad when the day ends without
any significant cataclysmic event occurring in my life.
But since our Congress and our President cannot pass any
legislation to stop the gun violence that has gripped our
Nation… (Blocked by Big Money and the NRA) Everyday
Has Become FRIDAY THE 13TH!

Navy Yard Shows Fallacy of NRA's
'More Guns' Solution
After Newtown, the gun lobby powerhouse said the
solution was armed guards. So what about Navy Yard?
By Matthew Cooper
September 17, 2013 | 9:34 a.m.
After the shooting in Newtown that left 20 elementary
school students dead, the National Rifle Association
responded with a proposal for what it called National
School Shield program. The idea, said the
organization's leader, Wayne LaPierre, was that
"the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a
good guy with a gun." The shield program aimed
to put an armed guard in every elementary school in
the country to protect children from the next
deranged killer.
The Navy Yard shooting exposes a fallacy in that
argument. A military facility, the Navy Yard had
plenty of good guys with weapons who were nonetheless
were unable to stop Aaron Alexis, the alleged
shooter, from killing a dozen innocent persons. In
the coming weeks, we'll learn more about Navy Yard
security and how Alexis was able to thwart it. (We'll
also learn more about how he obtained his arms, but
let's leave that aside for now.)
True, the Navy Yard is not a heavily armed facility.
It's not like, say, walking into a military base in
the U.S. let alone onto a war zone. But neither was
it the kind of gun-free school zone that the NRA has
described as an inviting target for crazed shooters.
It was at least as heavily armed as we can expect any
elementary school could ever be under the National
School Shield program. And yet, carnage.
The NRA is in some sense right that guns stop mass
shooters – although in Atlanta this year, a
deranged man with weapons was talked into surrender
by a savvy, quick-thinking administrator. Still, guns
stopped Alexis, not pleas. In that sense, La Pierre
is right.
But it's also true that shooters seem eminently
capable of wreaking carnage before they can be
stopped by on-site, armed personnel. This was true in
the shooting at the U.S. Army's Fort Hood base and at
Columbine High School, which had an armed guard. By
the NRA's own logic, unless virtually every teacher
in a school, or person in an office, is packing heat
and is trained to use their weapon, a determined
shooter can sow havoc before their weapons are
silenced
After Newtown, La Pierre looked to retired police
officers, among others, to be enlisted so that there
would be a guard in every elementary school.
There may be a good argument for having armed guards
in schools and many have chosen to provide such
protection, but the idea that guards alone will
prevent mass shootings isn't one of them. If the
United States Navy couldn't take out a mass shooter
before he--and it's always a he--does his deranged
work, can a guard? More Here: http://www.nationaljournal.com/domesticpolicy/navy-yard-
