I believe they are unarmed at the recruitment centers, also.

It’s been awhile, so I ask out of ignorance...
Doesn’t everyone draw a weapon and ammo when they get assigned to the next duty station ?
Amidst all the good and bad that came up in that meeting yesterday President Trump was quite vocal and strong about the absurdity that military bases can’t defend themselves.
But he does not want military personnel under 21 to be able to buy these weapons? I wonder how they will get them?
What does it say about America when those who are trained in the use of firearms to defend the nation are deemed incompetent to carry firearms...?
When I was in the service we had to qualify with common US, Soviet and Chicom military small arms and that included hitting the target while shooting with each weapon.
If memory serves me, that was about 80 to 100 different weapons (both rifles and handguns).
The one that gave guys the most problems was the B-40 RPG launcher. There was a gas port that steadied the weapon during firing and the gas port exhausted on the right side. If you were a lefty and you didn’t put it on your right shoulder, you’d burn the side of your face when you pulled the trigger.
Why wait for another f***in review? Could happen with a stroke of a pen.
That's the way to do it, Donald!!! Excellent plan! We need more FREEDOM, not more government interference in our lives.
Every time I go on base I ask the guards if there’s any news about being able to carry on base...it’s one of the few places I actually disarm for these days.
