Below is a shameless email that the Democrats are sending out to drum up support following the Navy Yard shooting. The shooter (who by the way was an Obama supporter and liberal, who voted Democrat) did his attack with a shotgun and then hand guns taken from security officers he shot.
Now I am for keeping guns out of the hands of the mentally ill, but are we really going to bar all persons with post traumatic stress disorder or who ever consulted a mental health professional from owning a shot gun? That is no solution. That would make it so people with mental health issues would avoid seeking help. Had the police responded appropriately to the shooter's cries for help it is possible this shooting never would have happened.

Hindsight is 20/20. While thankfully they are rare, there is no way to stop all such events. You know what would have mitigated harm in this shooting? Allowing personnel at the Navy Yard to carry weapons and defend themselves. Mark Kelley went out and purchased weapons, including an AR-15 to defend himself and his wife after she was shot. Why can't the rest of us do so?
Update:
No word why the SWAT team was ordered to stand down.
We need better mental health care, not new guns laws...
The Real Navy Yard Scandal...
America has more guns, Russia has more murders...
