This certainly makes the Army look bad. A female civilian cop takes out the shooter while Army men are mowed down.

That said, hooray for her. She’s a heroine.

You should be ashamed of that comment. The cop had the advantage of being armed and aware of the danger, and the soldiers were not.

You do realize that thsoe army men being mowed down were most likely unarmed, right? I'm sure that if they were armed, most of them would have been returning fire.

In what way? Those men were mostly unarmed. I don't know about you, but even with all the military training they get, I seriously doubt they'd want to be walking into a gunfight armed with nothing more than their fists.

The article also mentioned that she "happened to encounter the gunman." Had one of the male responders, be he civilian or military, been in the same position, it is likely the perp would have been immobilized as well.

That being said - good shootin' Officer Munley, and here's hoping you have a quick recovery.

Do you think that the fact that she was allowed to possess a firearm on-base and they weren't might have had something to do with it?

You brought up a good point. With these nutty muzzies, many soldiers should be allowed to be armed. As is, the laws provide more protection for criminal acts than self-defense.

This muzzie knew the soldiers would be unarmed.

He also believed that he would go to heaven. Islam is NOW a religion that believes murder is an act of grace. ERGO, it is satanism.

If I read other threads right, this was a "PC" base with limited weapons. Should be interesting to see what comes out of this.

Are my facts right in saying they don’t allow servicemen to carry on the base? WTF?

Just what makes you think that, because this was on a military base people, including military personnel, walk around with guns, let alone loaded guns?

What you’re failing to realize is that weapons/ammo is restricted on Army bases. Most of the soldiers are unarmed most of the time, even if they have the weapons they might not have live ammunition.

It’s almost like the shooter was in a federal building...
