    One shooter was shot in the head a 50 year old navy personnel that had his status changed. Obama will speak in minutes supposedly. Additional potential shooters one white one black wearing mitary uniforms.

    Getting on a base is easy, what happens from there may well change, that's the point... If someone is willing to kill security guards and such, getting to restricted areas isn't so hard...

    Wrong, getting on base is not easy. Why don't you try it.

    DUDE... the (*)(*)(*)(*)ing yard is pretty small. RIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE YARD... is civilization... and tourists. To get TO THAT POINT from the water... is a couple hundred yards. I don't know how to be clearer.

    CNN says could be 2 on the loose, updated a minute ago.

    Conflicting reports etc.

    Luis Farakhan probably called up to the mother wheel and had a few of the aliens come down and mimic ex-Navy personnel. You know, just to stir up some (*)(*)(*)(*).

    Obama called another mass shooting like so many others we had lately. He also said we will find and punish those responsible for this cowardly act. As well as trying to prevent more from happening.

    Then go ahead and experiment for yourself to see how easy it is.

    What do you think happened then.... Just curious. You say its difficult for people to get inside this base but yet there might be as many as three shooters.... How could this be? Its a gun free zone.. You cant just walk in carrying a gun nevermind possibly three people doing it.

    Every base I have ever been on is easy to get into. 12 total all had access points that were not under guard, and the fences always have blind spots or places where the plant life is a good cover for anybody wanting to sneak in. Some of them didn't and don't even have fences all the way around them.

    Are you insane? It is very easy, particularly if there is something like a museum open to the public. Do you think they run a FBI background check on every single visitor to that museum? Do think they ran background checks on my parents when they visited me for my Basic Training Graduation? They filled out some paperwork and were given access to the base. Its that simple...

    Yes there are a lot of bases one can walk onto. Ft Hood, Ft Lewis, Ft Dix, etc, but those bases are so large it would take some time to get anywhere. In addition, having a rifle there wouldn't be that scary because they all have either Active, Reserved or National Guard.

    So what bases are referring to.

    They had a reason to get on base, you. These shooters could have done the same thing. Are you suggesting these shooters have a child in active, at the base.

    It'd be pathetic if 3 people could only kill 6 and injure less than 10. This is clearly a one shooter.

    Unless they are looking for specific people as their targets.

    The DC police identified 2 suspects it would appear. And I'd venture that they're disgruntled low level officials who either are upset about their pay or have some political wacked out conspiracy theory that not even the conspiracy theorists believe in. Like the mutant invader thing we have going on here in the Page :D

    More than one shooter would change the dynamic entirely. However, I think it highly probable that they will find it was just one shooter in the end.

    Yes ! And then they can make a new slogan and sell T-shirts "DC STRONG", meant to cover the truth that they were actually cowering wimps.

    Bases and posts in Alaska, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico. They look all secure and keep a lot of honest people honest but if somebody wants to get on base/post it really isn't that difficult. Hell even stealing somebody's car with a sticker will get you in and give you access to most of the base/post with little to no effort. Get an access badge, or something that even looks like a badge and you can wander aimlessly throughout the facilities as long as you look like you know what you are doing. Chain link fences are about as secure as a set of bolt cutters will allow, and vehicles are everywhere once you are on location.

    It's extremely worrisome if you realize how easy it is to get on some of these bases/posts, especially with the stuff they have on them.

    This is the border. Up to the left there is the target. This pic is taken from tourist side. That orange thing on the right is to keep squids out.

    No I'm saying its easier than you'd think to get on a base. It is also easier than you'd think to access restricted areas, if one so chose to do so. Its not like the areas that are open to the public, suddenly end with a Berlin Wall type security. Its just checkpoints and cyclone fences for the most part. You have some strange notions as to how bases work...
