A ban on guns on a military base is about the most ludicrous thing I have ever heard.

How in God’s name did something like that ever become policy??????

Two mass shootings at U.S. military installations in one week, including one in which the perpetrator was a foreign national, have prompted questions over firearm use on American bases.

Or, prompted conspiracy theories on how conveniently mass shooting occur when Democrats need a distraction......

Everyone in uniform should be armed at all times, its as simple as that. If there is someone that cant be trusted with a firearm then that person certainly cant be trusted with control of 1,000,000 gallons of fuel, a tank, nuclear codes, or a host of other things. There apparently needs to be more significant consideration of those selected for service and/or better training if something as harmless as a sidearm is really a concern.

If a person can be trusted in uniform then its not the clothes that made that person trustworthy and there is no reason that they cant carry while off duty.
