Why, after all, should a citizen be forced to surrender his or her right to keep and bear arms, simply because they have entered military service;

I had a firearm in my locker in 1957, was stationed on a Nike Missile base. Got the sidearm from a mail order in Chicago.

Times, they have changed for sure.

Before 1968 you could own ANYTHING that you wanted, up to and including operational field artillery pieces with no government oversight at all.
