"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

WHY DO WE MAINTAIN GUN-FREE ZONES ON MILITARY BASES?

Simplest reason: Because it shows just what has the real power — the federal government, not the Constitution — why else are all federal government properties so dismissive of, and downright hostile to, the second amendment?

Ft Hood/Ted Cruz “Dittos”!

Our soldiers on bases should be armed. Off base, no, not while in uniform. Somewhere down
the road that line got blurred and they disarmed our soldiers on their bases
across America.

Does anybody know why this has happened?

[TWhiteBear]

Our military men and women are in danger abroad and at home, on base or at home. There have been actual terrorist attacks on US bases on US soil. The threats to our military are clear and present and explicit and specific.
A ‘gun free zone’ only applies to innocent victims and not to deliberate, intentional criminals.
Common decency requires us to allow our soldiers a chance to defend themselves and not to die as a sacrifice to the political ambitions and agenda of Mr. Obama and his Liberal slaves.

Great Friggin question!!!

[ozzymandus]

Because military bases are one place where the feds can enforce total gun bans. They’d do it everywhere if they could.

I think it is stupid that service men and women are not allowed to carry weapons on base. anyone at staff sergeant or above should be allowed to openly carry a loaded sidearm. Also these soldiers should be allowed to bring war souvenirs home. enemy Knives, sidearms. flags banners helmets hats etc. I would draw the line on human body parts.

Tombstone Arizona was a gun free zone.

Yes we are that stupid.
