Because we can’t be trusted. It is criminal that federal facilities bar people trained in the effective and responsible use of weapons from carrying them on federal property.

What really gets me is that no one ever asks “If the soldiers cannot be trusted with weapons, why are they ‘in the military’ to begin with? Why can they be trusted ‘over there’ but not here? Does this not imply inherent racism? Do we not value the lives of our allies from other countries?”
Why not recruit trustworthy people?
Now of course I know that the vast majority are 100% trustworthy. My point is that no one EVER makes the above an issue when addressing the military no gun policy in the media. Seems pretty obvious to me.
