Show a valid ID, even retired and you are waved onto any military base.
Exactly.
So not true.
I heard one local DC reporter, on scene, say that he had heard that the shooter killed a gate guard with a shotgun. The guard’s 9mm pistol and AR-15 were both missing, as well as the magazines for each. There is also a report that he may have taken the AR-15 of the guard he shot at the entrance to the facility. The first reports I heard this morning on the local DC news was that someone was shooting people at the Navy Yard with a shotgun. Thus it may be that he began with a shotgun and then got the ‘assault rifles’ from the guards he shot. thus the government, in a sense, provided the weapons Alexis used.
