Washington Navy yard: the AR-15 that wasn’t

Navy Yard KillingPrompting the illustrious Diane Feinstein to gleep this load of verbal poop directly following:

“This is one more event to add to the litany of massacres that occur when a deranged person or grievance killer is able to obtain multiple weapons — including a military-style assault rifle — and kill many people in a short amount of time. When will enough be enough?” asked Feinstein. “Congress must stop shirking its responsibility and resume a thoughtful debate on gun violence in this country. We must do more to stop this endless loss of life.”

Except: there was NO “assault rifle” used by the shooter, 34-year-old Aaron Alexis, a black civilian private I.T. contractor who was honorably discharged from the US Navy, at the Washington Navy Yard.

The heinous AR-15 was demagogued once again.  The AMM (American Media Maggots) fixated on the so-called “assault rifle.”  This is nothing more than what I would term “Outcome Based Journalism,” or OBJ.

Piers Morgan blames all on the AR-15 or “assault rifle.”

Despite that, it was Open Season again on firearms and assault rifles in particular.  Fornicalia is reacting with nothing but restrictions, to include the definition of an “assault rifle” being any long gun with a detachable magazine.

One of the most restrictive states is soon to become infinitely more restrictive.  I’m lucky because I’m a cop.  But those who may actually wish to protect themselves via a firearm in Fornicalia?  Good damned luck.

But the DC mayor weighing in on the real reason for the yard shooting?  Leftists opine on their purple skies, because they are blithering idiots:

It’s the Republicans’ fault because of the sequester.  Despite the fact that Alexis was a liberal and voted for Obama and that his job status had changed.  Middle class families today make less than middle class families in 1989.  In adjusted dollars, families make less.  Thank you kindly, Mr Barack Hussein Obama, the Solver of All, the Stagnator of All, the Racist of All.  For blacks, their earnings have decreased by 18%.  Under Obama.

Let’s step back for a moment, shall we, and attempt to insert some logic here — logic that Leftists simply don’t want to address or face.  What or who was Aaron Alexis?

Aaron AlexisBecause this event could be placed into the category of “mass killing.”

Even USA Today thinks mass killings are overblown.

In the past 30 years, there have been roughly 500+ persons attributed to so-called “mass killings,” defined as events resulting in a minimum of four persons killed.

In that same amount of time, 30 years, there have been roughly 590,000 persons murdered in the United States of America.

And but upon that fact the current administration would wish to strike out the entire Second Amendment, via a statistic that is miniscule upon miniscule.

That’s like having a $590,000 budget, but predicating all of your decisions based upon a $500 variable.

The issue at hand, truly, is the mental state of Aaron Alexis.

People have indicated that Alexis exhibited mental issues since the age of 20.

As a distraction, Obama is proffering “squirrel.”

In the meantime, this is the issue:

Distraction upon distraction upon distraction.

P.S.
This was a black shooter.  Did anyone consider the application of a so-called “hate crime” to this person?

Right.  Didn’t think so.
