  Mark Koernke discussed the September 16, 2013 Navy Yard shooting in Washington, D.C., criticizing the response as cowardly and arguing that in earlier eras (1943, 1953, 1963) armed citizens would have quickly stopped the shooter. He contrasted this with a Kenyan mall attack where a single armed man evacuated civilians, calling that true heroism. Koernke blamed disarmament policies, feminization of American culture, and government bureaucracy for the failure to respond effectively, arguing that one shooter with a shotgun exposed the ineffectiveness of massive security infrastructure and thousands of personnel in the nation's capital.
