    Oh, but think of all the carnage on the streets of America if all those M14 parts had made it into the hands of the criminals. I know my first choice for a drive by would be a 50 inch plus battle rifle.

    its on the line, NOVA
    today, a memorial for the victims was held at the washington dc Marine Barracks, just a couple blocks from the navy yard. perhaps clips from it have been seen on the local news.

    the commanding officer of navsea gave an extremely emotional and meaningful (and short speech)

    CNO and secnav's speech were solid and appropriate as well.

    secdef, I think was ok. I can't really remember.

    DC Mayor Gray gave a fiery stump speech for gun control.

    potus gave a more measured stump speech for gun control, in his signature thoughtful and pseudo-intellectual style.

    I couldn't believe it. at one point, he mentioned other countries, such as Australia, UK, etc, when having experienced just one mass shooting, took "drastic action". I swear I nearly puked. stomach almost turned over right there.

    6 days ago the tragedy happened, and he made a political speech calling for gun control, and all at a memorial to honor and remember its victims.

    As a guy 'not in the know', I noticed a lot of the police were in plain clothes. How the hell do you figure out who's the terrorist and who's the police in mayhem like this? I didn't see hanging badges, hats, etc, so it struck me as weird/bad/not-so-tactically-logical

    IMPD officer killed by dirtbag when he goes through door to save the dirtbag's girlfriend and her baby.

    It's a pretty unfair world where Bradway gets killed and Bisard might not even get prison.

    I can explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you.

    I wonder who the two white guys in picture number 10 are. I have a feeling they are not the locale police.

    FWIW, Fox was reporting this morning that the Israeli's have been providing on site support/consulting.

    Israel provides military aid to many nations in Africa, and I think the Kenyans are glad to have them there.
