The massacre of 12 Washington Navy Yard workers was a perfect time for President Obama to use part of his verbiage aimed at the tragedy to also take aim at the GOP. Now that's what insensitivity is all about.
But the shooting is also a great opportunity for the liberals cockroaches to crawl out from under whatever garbage they've been hiding beneath, to call for stricter gun control laws. Diane Feinstein (D-CA) was one of the first to tweet about the topic, followed by the Fonz, Henry Winkler. Yeah, that's the ticket. That's about as sensitive to what happened yesterday as Obama's speech. The fact is, Aaron Alexis was mentally ill and still got on the base with an employee card. He also had a secret clearance in spite of a history of violent behavior, two arrests, and a General Discharge from the Navy for various behavioral problems.
The solution isn't more gun control. The solution is better mental illness intervention, at least in part. The solution is also better screening of people with security clearance, but even more importantly, we have got to stop flooding the media (including this blog, I must admit), with talking about these sick bastards. So this will be the last time I discuss the shooting and shooter, however, I suspect that the left is going to use this event to push their gun control agenda. As Obama's mentor, Saul Alinsky, once said, "Never let a good tragedy go to waste." There's another bastard for you.
The last thing I want to say is that if Bill Clinton didn't make the Washington Navy Yard a gun free zone and people were allowed to carry a firearm, Alexis probably wouldn't have killed as many defenseless people as he did. Sorry about the language today.
