A very stupid policy that should be reversed. They should be encouraging private arms use and encouraging proficient soldiers to carry sidearms continuously, as in Israel.

The real reasons for the murders will not be addressed. Ever.

I smell a commie liberal rat at the core of this stupid rule.
Military personnel should be required to be armed at all times while on the base.

Exactly. Assume X wishes to do harm - does X go somewhere no person is armed or, in the opposite, anyone (everyone) is or can be armed? Eric “I want to destroy the country more than my Kenyan Poseur does” Holder must have imposed this policy. These phuks must be eliminated - politically speaking, of course.

A victory for the enemy indeed. Now more of our troops can be killed on our own soil.

I am not commenting of Ft Hood but every post that I know of has had similar rules for years.

If you live on post it has to be registered with the PMO. If you live in the barracks it has to be kept in the Arms Room.

Also there is no concealed carry on post.

The only thing that appears new is the requirement to declair a weapon. I transport weapon and ammo on post whenever I go shooting at the local military range. If asked I would say “Yes, I have a weapon and ammo and am on the way to the range” but to pull up to the guard and say “hey Dude I got a gun”. Hmmm?

“We don’t carry weapons here, this is our home”?


Great example of non sequiter!

Unbelievable! Obviously, the only PC solution was to be equally unfair to everyone. However, Islamic Terrorist infiltrators and all others considering mass executions must now check their weapons and ammo at the gate before comming onto Ft. Hood. Any soldier caught protecting himself with a gun in the middle of a murderous terrorist attack will severly delt with and dishonorably discharged. There, we fixed that gapping hole in security.

Why not give the MPs one bullet each to carry in their front pocket too. Oh yeah, I forgot, they had to call a local police station to get some help for the ARMY BASE when the terrorist started shooting, so they don’t have any guns either. MAKE SURE THE MEDIA BROADCASTS THIS NUGGET TO OUR AL QAEDA FRIENDS OVERSEAS — Army bases in the USA are soft targets. Gee, maybe they won’t even have any guns in Thompson, IL!

Pretty soon soldiers will be hugging and skipping hand-in-hand when ‘Don’t Ask -Don’t Tell’ gets repealed by Satan’s Administration in D.C.! Any soldier caught not Butt F*ing his fireteam will be placed on trial in NY.

Bye Bye America. Thanks for the memories!

They might as well put a “Rape Me” sign on the installation for tempted terrorists to attack.

Any such attack would have warranted a code red with all soldiers now obligated to walk with rifles lock and loaded on installations.

Any policy change on stopping the insane political correctness that allowed this Muslim terrorist to get as far as he did in the Army?

Is Fort Hood being converted over to a Salvation Army Post?

“Military personnel (and Civilians entering the post) who live on the installation and own privately-owned firearms must register those arms with their superiors”

This was in effect BEFORE the *massacre*.

I believe the expanded rules are new especially, in regards to off post housing.

You’ve got to be kidding. Yep, that’s right. Good soldiers will be unarmed and terrorists will have free reign to blast their way into any base. Brilliant. Just brilliant. When you’ve lost the military, what do you have.

They’re saying guns in the hands of the military stateside is dangerous! I hope so and that they don’t lose that dangerous profile when they get to the battlefield!

Restrictions on guns? Typical stupid liberal response. Whenever someone whose head is full of liberal mush goes out and shoots innocent people, liberals can only think of restricting guns. If liberals had anything but oatmeal in their heads, they would restrict the fanatics who believe it’s perfectly OK to kill innocents.

The unarmed thing is ridiculous. Here, a 10 minute mini-doc on Ft. Hood. I wonder what the Vietnam Vet that's in it would have to say. LOL.

Spot on correct. Like all domestic laws this one requires voluntary compliance to be effective. Would a terrorist like Hassan worry about this or would he be gleeful because it just insures more helpless targets for him?
