The first thought that occurs to me is that this is a very large base with many hundreds of vehicles coming in and out every day, and it is logistically impossible to prevent someone from smuggling in small arms in a vehicle. Are they going to stop every car, strip the doors, remove the seats, empty the trunk, inspect the engine and the undercarriage?

It's relatively easy to stop someone from carrying a weapon onto an airplane, but hundreds (if not thousands) of steel vehicles, that's another story.

One contributor on CNN was promising to find out "how weapons got on that base" and FOX speculated that from rumors of alleged witnesses, it was a "high-powered weapon". All the networks are scrambling to find their graphic images of AR-15s just in case they get lucky...

“it was a “high-powered weapon”.

No. It was not.

Good Ole’ CNN: “How did weapons get on a military base?”

Wait’ll they discover that some of our military is armed...
