Each time another mass shooting happens, people wring their hands and try yo understand why it happened.  That is certainly true of the Navy Yard Shooting.  One man, however stands alone in saying he knows exactly why it happened.  According to Wayne LaPierre, there were not enough good guys with guns at the naval base.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"23LaPierre\"Wayne LaPierre, Vice President of the National Rifle Association, blamed this week\u2019s shooting at the Navy Yard<\/a> on a shortage of firearms. Speaking with David Gregory on Meet the Press, LaPierre charged that the base was \u201ccompletely unprotected\u201d when Aaron Alexis entered, and called for even more armed guards than were already on duty. <\/p>\n

Gregory questioned this logic, pointing out that this attack occurred at a military facility with a heavier armed guard presence than most other places\u2026<\/p>\n

…In reality, police were on the scene within two to three minutes of the shooting, and security guards had already gone after the gunman<\/strong>\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
