A United States Marine killed two fellow military staffers (a male and a female) – and then himself – during a shooting rampage (standoff?) at the U.S. Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia.
What a sad, senseless tragedy, right?
Sure … and to think it could have all been averted had the federal government simply passed an assault weapons ban on members of the U.S. Marine Corps … or required them to limit their magazines to seven rounds. Or made them submit to more stringent background checks.
Also, the body count associated with this tragedy could have been cut in half had we not let women serve in the Marines.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein … where you at?
Don’t “lay down and play dead” on this issue …
Stand up! After all, if you take away guns from active duty Marines and there will be no way such a tragedy will ever repeat itself!
UPDATE: The above thoughts are, as you may have gathered, written with our tongues firmly implanted in our cheeks.

Err… Don’t think I would’ve used an incident like this to bash gun control, but okay…
Many times it’s the gun control idiots that try to capitalize politically on tragedies like this. All FITS did was beat them to the punch while making light of Sen. Feinstein’s ignorance.

You’re totally right and you’ve changed my mind with your witty tongue-cheekery. My love of guns and gun violence shall henceforth be only increased by reading about a hilarious “senseless tragedy” such as this (after all, that was the part that was tongue in cheek, wasn’t it?).

If only all Marines were allowed–heck, required–to carry loaded weapons everywhere . . . barracks, bed, bars, bordellos . . . why then there would never be such tragedies. Just ask “lipman” Wayne LaPoof.

Bad taste or not, what Fits is saying has much merit. The stupidity of the whole “Gun-Free-Zone” concept, once again has the light of harsh reality shone on it.
