Just heard on NPR/BBC that there are two suspects, one white who is dressed in tan Navy style uniform with a beret, one black wearing olive military style uniform.  Sounded like they are still at large.

The solution is clear: ban naval shipyards.

exactly.  Without naval shipyards nobody would ever be able to kill another person with a gun.

The Washington Naval Yard isn't a shipyard.  It used to be an ordnance station, but now is just offices and a cool museum.  They moved NavSea there from Crystal City a few years back.

Then the solution is to just close all offices and cool museums?

We can get our work done in the lame museums.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

The news is just besides themselves as to how this guy got on and got the weapons on base.  :rolleyes: Quite easy really. Security postures have degraded significantly in the last couple years.

Sequester and Continuing Resolution. Fucking Moron reporters. What do you think the Navy is cutting.
