I just heard a blurb on TV that “All American soldiers will be “safer’” on bases because of this, because they are planning to restrict guns even more

Someone with experience in this area, clue me in. Where soldiers actually reside on base, they keep their personal belongings, including hunting equipment and handguns, with them legally, right?

How would this crime have been prevented with more restrictions on carrying guns? Wasn't the terrorist here in fact in voilation of base rules and laws?

Just checking.

All privately owned firearms are locked up on base/post if the owner lives on base/post.

If you live off-base/post, you can keep them at your residence as long as they are legally obtained.

Taking away more guns from the personnel on post/base will not make it safer.

This POS terrorist transported his weapons in his car onto post.

I've visited my son at his army post and they only thing you have to have to get on post is a post issued vehicle sticker and an ID. If you are a visitor, you have to show your car registration, insurance verification and driver's license then you get a one day pass.

THE VEHICLE IS NOT CHECKED FOR ILLEGAL ITEMS. So it was very easy to get a weapon on post as long as he had the proper passes.
