This is another terrible episode in the continuing American obsession with guns.

What this also shows (as if this kind of evidence were necessary to any thinking person), how absolutely ridiculous, even brainlessly stupid, the NRA proposal is for armed guards or armed teachers in schools to "protect" children.

Here we have a "highly secure" Naval Facility in proximity to Congress and the White House (how many "good guys", I wonder, armed to the teeth, are in that area), and yet it was not possible to prevent and armed crazy person getting in and killing at least 12 (as of now) people.
