Donald Trump: Abolish Gun Free Zones On Military Bases
Breitbart ^ | July 9, 2015 | Awr Hawkins

Posted on 07/09/2015 3:16:55 PM PDT by Red Steel

Donald Trump says that if elected president, he will abolish the gun free zones currently imposed on U.S. troops by “[mandating] that soldiers remain armed and on alert at our military bases.”

In an interview with Ammoland he said: “President Clinton never should have passed a ban on soldiers being able to protect themselves on bases. America’s Armed Forces will be armed.”

Trump went on to decry gun free zones on military bases as a product of “political correctness” and said removing those zones “will… [enable soldiers] to defend themselves against terrorists.”

Seems like this would be so blindingly obvious that it wouldn’t have to be mentioned.

Common Sense has now been upgraded to a superpower

It takes an extraordinary level of stupidity to disarm soldiers.

That will resonate with the rank and file. The lib officer corps/elites not so much.

Trump supporters keep quoting Breibart. Is anyone else getting the (no-brainer in this case) message? Just wondering.

Could've saved many at Ft. Hood. Sadly, only Trump is hammering on these obscure yet important matters. I'm leery of Trump's motives but he sure is saying all the right things.

A strong, stern MAN should lead America and STOP the girls and girly men from killing it.

Trump's way out front of the pack on getting illegals out of the US, US citizens for US jobs, trade deals that protect our workers, Common Core and now soldiers having a right to be armed.

How long before it's a majority of interest groups?

Disarmed soldiers on their own bases is one of the stupidest things ever-- except when you consider whom the elite fear.

Yeah, they fear the soldiers. Because they know, most of the rank and file soldiers/airmen/Marines/Coasties will not fire on American citizens, and some might, just might, turn their guns on a tyrant.

That, my friends, is the true reason Clinton wanted the soldiers disarmed.

And by the way, the elite fear armed citizens, too.

"Donald Trump: Abolish Gun Free Zones On Military Bases..."

The sheer fact that anyone has to say this with a straight face indicates how insane our government has become.

I remember when (Clinton’s) Air Force one flew into the base I was at. There was an order issued that NO ONE was to be outside or even visible at a window to watch the plane come in or take off.

Thinking about it I seem to recall that we were to stay inside until his motorcade actually left the base’s territory. Or it could have been one of the others, I remember when G.W. and Obama both came in during their presidencies and the orders were pretty much the same.

I always thought it showed how they truly felt about the men and women that were in the armed forces by those actions.

“The lib officer corps/elites not so much.”

Because they’re afraid of being shot by one of their troops?

I doubt Trump is listening to focus groups and political consultants. That is refreshing.

The homefront threat to American military personnel on bases on American soil has developed under OBAMA.

The inability for our service personnel to protect themselves on duty has been institutionalized by Obama and his spineless military leaders and advisors (JCS).

An Islamic fanatic killed an Army recruiter in Little Rock, Arkansas and wounded his partner, and Obama said nothing. Holder said nothing. Gen. Dempsey said nothing.

Nothings saying nothing. That sums up the Obama’s Marxist regime and the bravery of its toadies.
