Good thing Virginia has plenty of AR-15s for ready sale.

There was no AR 15 there.

It was just a runaway media that does not believe a person can do

anything bad without an assault weapon.

NBC was even using a graphic of a M-16 that had the M203 grenade

launcher under it.

He had a Joe Biden shotgun and they believe the 2 pistols he had were

taken from cops on site.

A shotgun he apparently bought in Virginia a short time ago, because,

even though he apparently was mentally ill, that didn't prevent him from

buying a firearm.

It does not appear that he was under any kind of treatment and

certainly not under court ordered treatment, the only thing that would

"pop" on a background check.

More interesting was how he got a "secret" security clearance.

About 5 million people have a "secret" security clearance.

Most of them don't need those clearances.

I had a secret clearance for about 5 years. Our company was a subcontractor that provided equipment to the military through a large, well known company. When we got out of that market, we were debriefed and "turned in" our clearances.

It didn't mean much, anyway. It got us into the buildings when our stuff was being installed and commissioned, but when something was going on in the area we were working, we were still asked to leave at times. Even if the other activity wasn't above our clearance level, everything is on a "need to know" basis. If you don't need to know, you leave.

Been there done that. Faced the wall a couple of times with someone behind me ensuring that I
didn't turn my head. We were very careful about bringing in replacement parts to some
locaitons because once somehting with a memory was brought it only exited inside a locked
burn bag and you never saw it again.
