Could gun control have prevented the Navy Yard shootings?
Armed with a shotgun, Aaron Alexis apparently armed up as he went:
Authorities said they believe that Alexis picked up two other weapons — a handgun and an AR-15-style assault weapon — during the shooting spree, taking the sidearm from a police officer he shot and another from a gunsafe or other secure location.

Better law enforcement certainly could have
2004: Shot out the tires on a construction workers car in front of his house. Between the cops and DA, the paperwork was apparently lost and charges were never filed.2008: Arrested for disorderly conduct in August 2008 in DeKalb County, Georgia. He was released from custody after posting $364 bond.
2010: Reckless discharge of a firearm (through his ceiling, the floor above, and the ceiling above). Charges fired but dropped.
2011: General Discharge from the Navy for "a series of incidents of misconduct"
Treated multiple times for psychological issues — including sleep deprivation, anger and paranoia — sources told NBC News. Most recently, sources said, he had been treated at an unspecified Veterans Affairs hospital in New England.
