Yes, yes, let’s BAN GUNS from our military on the base.
(I’m being sarastic)
How insane!

Police - Only minutes away when seconds count!
Back then Idaho only had an open carry law, with the exception of the city of Boise, but you could not open carry on base.
Heck, even during the 1983 Marine Baracks Bombing, the sentries were not allowed to carry a loaded weapon, due to the insane rules of engagement.
I did not remember this from the Clinton years. I was shocked to hear that it was a ‘gun free’ zone. How appalling!
Nothing like getting right to the point. Nice job 'Ms. Foster'.

How insane!
Ah, maybe they should PUNISH the military person that SHOT THE TERRORIST too! If it were not for Officer Kim Munley, who was shot herself and BROUGHT THIS TERRORIST DOWN, there would be more deaths. These men and women risk their lives for you and me and people they don't know. Now their own, with the support of political correctness is allowed to MURDER THEM. Now we want to make the defenseless? This is so insane!
If guns are banned on military bases this will demoralize and confuse our military - all for the sake of political correctness and coddling our enemy within.
I would also bet this terrorist is getting the ULTIMATE in health care and attention as they try to just make him look like he "cracked under pressure" - BULL!
I have to leave my weapon at home all day if I need to swing by the base for something, and I have a Texas Judge CHL that permits me to carry anywhere at any time. Oh, and I put about 600 rounds a year through my weapon, just to make sure I’m not more dangerous to myself than to the bad guys.
It’s a completely ridiculous prohibition, IMHO.
Colonel, USAFR
If soldiers were allowed their side arms that were assigned them by the military at Fort Hood I doubt that the major would have gotten off so many shots before being taken out but the way it was he was able to reload and continue firing
because only he and a civilian police officer had a weapon.
The military should be able to have armed military police anywhere large groups of personnel will be forming or this will be repeated.
Thank God the police officer was close and able to respond or more lives would have been lost.
I’m sorry, Mr. Lott is just wrong about this. The noted criminologist and Chicago Mayor Richard Daley has weighed in and let us all know that it was the gun’s fault, not the terrorist. I’ll take his opinion over John Lott’s any day, especially given his outstanding record of expunging crime from Chicago by banning and regulating guns. The man knows of which he speaks.
Clinton was another despiser of our military. Electing men like him & Bozo to be CICs is the fault of the American people who vote for them. It is something that should be seriously considered at election time.
Liberals are responsible for all the political correctness that is poisoning our country & our military. All of us know that national security is not safe in the hands of a democrat. They talk a good game to get elected & the first thing they do is tear down our military & our national defense.
I am in favor of our military being armed - but at this time, with the people we have in command, it could be another disaster, like the one that happened at Fort Hood. They can't or won't recognize a jihadist.
Until this PC mentality is stopped - arming the troops on base would be deliberately arming the enemy within the ranks.
Yes, please end the ban. These people are targets. Arming them will discourage more attacks.
Instead, they'll just pass more restrictive regulations and maybe buy some metal detectors.
That's a keeper.
Realistically how many soldiers would of brought their sidearms to a deployment screening if allowed before this?
I am thinking that knowing you would have to take off the sidearm for medical exams and such and that everybody there is either military or DOD civilians so what’s the risk?
So everyone in Texas has a gun EXCEPT those people in the military base.
BRILLIANT!
BTTT!
