There were no shootings on military bases.
I don’t understand why there aren’t armed guards on military bases, it’s a frigging MILITARY BASE. Why aren’t there guns?
My guess is that they don’t want every cook or clerk typist who last qualified with a rifle or pistol in basic training to get the idea they’re rangers,grunts, SF,etc.
That being said, I’m not sure why those who are practiced cannot be armed while in uniform with their duty weapon.
“...it’s a frigging MILITARY BASE. Why aren’t there guns?”
The security guards had guns but either couldn’t or didn’t get a chance to use them effectively. We need to start giving base security body armor if they dont already have it. The freaking EPA is better armed than military bases.
I know of a National Guard base where all the guards carry M-16s, but no bullets.
I have the same question..I had no idea that there were no guns allowed on military bases..its a MILITARY BASE..if guns are not allowed there then these brave men and women who sacrifice everything for our freedom are just sitting ducks. Jihadists attack military bases in Afghanistan all the time, you would think they would allow military to carry weapons, but thanks to Slick Willy he banned it
That would require common sense which is not so common anymore.

That all stopped after 9/11/2001 and most bases had gate guards at the main entrance. We had the state marksmanship team leader stopped at the gate and they inspected his car. They all knew him and he just happened to be the "random vehicle" inspected. Just what the hell did they expect to find?
