No kidding. Did you see the presser with LTG Mark Milley from Ft Hood last night. He came off as a real fool.

This clown murdered those people with malice aforethought. But I’m sure it never entered his mind that they’d all be sheeple on base. /sarc

Every time a mass murderer strikes and the victims must wait on police, 10-15 people are shot. Every time a mass murderer strikes and some of the victims themselves are carrying, only a handful are shot.

Those same troops, if they were just outside the gate and had a permit, could’ve defended themselves. The military’s irrational fear of guns is immoral.

If a surrounding state trusts a person to let them carry, why not the military? It’s been proven over and over again that concealed carry holders are the least criminal folks imaginable. Maybe limit it to officers and NCOs, but this lunacy must end.

Yeah those gun free zones are soo effective at reducing shootings. /s

This rule started under George HW Bush.

[A CA Guy]

Yep, and changed further by Clintin and ignored by Bush 2 and Hussein.
