No disrespect intended to you, sir. My disbelief is at what seems like a totally idiotic rule. There have been plenty of stupid things done in our names by our government, disarming soldiers seems like one of the most stupid.

I offer my apologies if you took it as an insult to you.

Those with power of decision making in the Military and the civilian authorities (read - Congress) do not explain why they disarm out soldiers on Military Installations. Perhaps it’s because the civilian powers that be do not trust Military members. Regardless, if there had been soldiers with arms at the time of the shooting there would possibly have been fewer deaths/injured - we will never know.
