quote: ORIGINAL: jlf1961 quote: ORIGINAL: Nosathro quote: ORIGINAL: jlf1961 Considering what the navy has said about his service record, how did he get an honorable discharge? As for his criminal record, he had no felony convictions which means he was a fine upstanding citizen. I still want to know how he passed two security checkpoints with the weapons. I mean granted 90% of the navy plays with and on boats so they really dont have much to worry about except some other asshole with a plane, boat or missile but if they cant keep one nut job out of one of their bases with guns, put the marines in charge of security. There is the National Disabilities Act as well as HIPPI. In both you can not discriminate against someone who has a disability, mental illness included. Further unless a wavier is signed medical records are confidential. So even the marines would not know. I am referring to the fact that he managed to get 3 weapons, one of them a shotgun, past two security check points. Sorry but a shotgun kinda sticks out and is noticeable. I understand he took the handguns off of security people in the building, but you are obviously right about the shotgun.

Well he shows his valid ID at the gate and is waved through, just like the other several thousand people that morning. He the drives right up to the front door, parks his car, gets the shotgun out of the trunk. And since he is right by the front door, quickly opens fire on the first armed individual he sees and takes their weapon. Its not very far fetched really. And the alternative is to thouroghly check every single vehicle, which is pretty impractical.

quote: ORIGINAL: MasterCaneman And they wouldn't have to have their weapons with them at all times. How hard is it to decentralize storage and have them near their work stations? Put a gunsafe in the CO's or chief NCO's office and you maintain control. Weapons are kept locked in the armory and under the supervision of of an officer and a staff nco...Is it possible that there is a reason for this?

The difficulty of continuing an extended mass killing spree when your victims are armed arises from the fact that once you start shooting at them they know what you're up to. Kinda gives it away, yanno? The cop didn't have a clue. K.

quote: ORIGINAL: stef quote: ORIGINAL: DomKen He had the shotgun in his car when he came through the gate. He shot the guard at the building checkpoint and took his weapons, the handgun and the rifle. What rifle? I think the confusion comes from the fact that Piers Morgan announced that the shooter used a ar-15 shotgun. Of course, Morgan makes Kendom look like John Browning, but some on the left have to have that ar15 in the mix.

Unless a doctor will violate the law as his contribution to; and protection of, society at large, and the patient. I don't know about medical doctors, but psychotherapists have a duty to warn. The privilege of confidentiality ends where public peril begins. K. Only if the patient makes a threatening statement. And that we don't know if he did. They cannot ask them if they own weapons. Who would they warn? Unless the guy comes right out and says, I am killing me some motherfuckers, it would be an invasion of privacy to say to law enforcement....well, I dunno, he might be nuts, in my professional opinion. Other doctors ask about weapons ownership

The cop didn't have a clue. The cop was the first one shot. He didn't have a clue what was about to happen. After he first shots, it's likely the much of the area was aware of the shots. Hearing shots ring out where they aren't supposed to be is a damn good clue to take action, be that arm yourself and take a defensive position, or run like Sir Robin (that would be me).

Should even a priest be armed as he stands in his pulpit on a Sunday morning, in case one of his congregation draws his piece? ah fuck 'em peon, they're not going to change. If the dozens of threads with thousands of posts about guns has taught me anything it's that Americans have absolutely no concept of what a life without guns is like. America has travelled too far down the "guns for everyone" route for any change to be remotely plausible. Lets face it, when their governments reaction to pretty much any crisis is to invade, blow up and kill is it a surprise that the general population feel totally happy to arm themselves to the hilt and shoot at a moments notice? The road to disarmament is just too damn complicated and scary for your average American so let them have their guns, let them keep killing each other and just be happy that when you go out for a drink or a meal you know that the chance of being killed is infinitesimal. Freedom, it's great

Agreed, but many of those involved yesterday said that when the shooting started there was panic and confusion. Under such circumstances it is impossible to be certain more people shooting would have solved the situation (and I am not suggesting thats what you are saying)

Agreed, but many of those involved yesterday said that when the shooting started there was panic and confusion. Under such circumstances it is impossible to be certain more people shooting would have solved the situation (and I am not suggesting thats what you are saying) There was panic and confusion because having a shooter isn't typical. It's not even something that most would consider. I'm willing to bet, though, that if more trained people were armed there, the situation would have been defused sooner and with a lower body count. In most situations where you know someone else has a gun and isn't on your "team," that's the first person you take out. Makes your life a lot easier. If there are several armed people, it's quite a bit more difficult to go on a rampage for any extended amount of time. Trained people will regain composure quickly (or at least relatively quickly) and then they'll be much more difficult to take out and will pose a greater danger to the shooter. I would find it highly unlikely that there would have been some Hollywood Rambo shootout if trained people were armed. Arm the sailors but have a much higher standard for civilians. At least to some degree, the sailors are trained for combat. After the initial shock of being under attack, armed and trained personnel would have been able to end the situation, saving lives, imo.
