The military really doesn't trust the troops with guns. Privately owned guns have to be kept in the armory and even those soldiers (and anyone else) desiring to hunt or target shoot on post must register them with the provost marshal.

Military owned weapons are of course kept in the armory, and must generally be unloaded, except when on the range. Live ammo must be accounted for.

But obviously, in spite of all that, some wackos manage to get guns and/or live ammo anyway, and then for a while, they have target rich and threat poor environment.
