What recent President enacted this policy of unarming military bases to eliminate accidental shootings?
I can’t find the answer for my wife who mentioned Michael Savage was going to a piece on this, but she missed it.

The policy goes back at least to WWII, if not before. Military commanders of installations are given wide latitude in deciding who may be armed on their base. Political correctness has meant that nearly everyone is disarmed on base, as commanders fear to tread on politicial toes because their career may be cut short.
