Today, we celebrated Constitution Day, and Dan Joseph took to the streets to ask people how they felt about our founding document. He also asked people if there was anything they would change. In the wake of the horrific shooting at the Washington Navy Yard, one individual made an interesting point about yesterday's mass shooting at the Navy Yard in the nation's capital:
"I know a lot of people are concerned about guns these days, but you know if everybody had arms, then there wouldn't be these problems. "My son was at Marine Barracks -- at the Navy Yard yesterday - and they had weapons with them, but they didn't have ammunition. And they
said, 'We were trained, and if we had the ammunition, we could've cleared that building.' Only three people had been shot at that time, and they could've stopped the rest of it."
The Navy Yard shooting brings up the legitimate issue of carrying - and using - firearms on military installations.

that can't be, guns kill people, not people killing people...
And certainly not people killing people with guns...
Sounds like the embassy in Beirut back in the 80s.
Gun free zones are the most dangerous places to be at any given time.
Yeah, makes perfect sense. One loon starts shooting. Everyone picks up weapons and starts firing at the loony shooter. Problem is, who knows which one is the real shooter and which one is a soldier going to the rescue.
Like the National Guard sent to the US-Mexico border,but they didn't even have empty guns.
