The incident at the Navy Ship Yard puts two NRA canards to rest. [View all]

It is now being reported that the killer entered the facility with only a double barreled shotgun. The first casualty was an armed security guard from whom Alexis took an AR15 and a side arm. These were the guns used to kill and wound his victims.

1. Concealed carry makes you safer. Clearly the death of the armed guard proves this to be untrue. The attacker always has the advantage because s/he is prepared to act whereas the victim never is even as a security guard.

2. A good guy with a gun is no defense against a bad guy with a gun.
