The December 6, 2019, Naval Air Station Pensacola attack reminded us once more that gun-free policies on military installations make U.S. troops sitting ducks.
Breitbart News reported that a gunman opened fire Friday morning in Pensacola, killing three innocents and causing numerous others to be transported to the hospital for injuries.
The Associated Press reported that the Pensacola gunman was an aviation student from Saudi Arabia, and NBC News reported that the gunman’s name was Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani.
He used a handgun to carry out his attack.
Pertinent to news of this horrific firearm-based attack is the fact that Naval Air Station Pensacola is a gun-free zone.
Breitbart News reported the air station’s gun-free status shortly after the attack. The station’s firearm policy, as described by Commander, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic, notes:
While federal and state laws differ widely on the subject, regulations pertaining to the registration, transportation, and storage of firearms on Naval Installations in the Mid-Atlantic area of responsibility are clear. According to the instruction, all hands share responsibility for adhering to regulations pertaining to the registration, transportation, and storage of firearms in the AOR.

AMEN!
Ditto.
You got that right.
He either bough it from a conspirator ‘friend’, who is now complicit, or from a gun store, which will lose its FFL license and someone goes to prison.
Just be thankful he was using a handgun and not a more effective rifle or shotgun. And that goes double if he'd gotten his flight status, gotten upm in a US military aircraft, and decided to park it in a Christian church, a school, or government building.
Of course, if he had run a jihadi Kamikaze mission on the installation headq1uarters at Pensacola, it might have done us some good.
