I would have posted this in the Naval Yard report thread, but I see many dupes in the future if I did that

We all know this, but just in-case you didn't know...
-Killer had security clearance
-Killer legally acquired his firearm from a licensed dealer
-Killer passed federally required NICS check
-Killer passed Virginia background check
-Killer had a documented history of mental illness and of firearm misuse
-Killer used a limited-capacity pump-action shotgun
-Killer murdered a guard and stole his service weapon
-Killer went un-opposed for nearly an hour
So it's time to break out the bloody flag and call for more gun control!

The White House
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release September 16, 2014
Statement by the President
One year ago, our dedicated military and civilian personnel at the Washington Navy Yard were targeted in an unspeakable act of violence that took the lives of 12 American patriots. As we remember men and women taken from us so senselessly, we keep close their family and friends, stand with the survivors who continue to heal and pay tribute to the first responders who acted with skill and bravery. At the same time, we continue to improve security at our country’s bases and installations to protect our military and civilian personnel who help keep us safe. One year ago, 12 Americans went to work to protect and strengthen the country they loved. Today, we must do the same – rejecting atrocities like these as the new normal and renewing our call for common-sense reforms that respect our traditions while reducing the gun violence that shatters too many American families every day.
