Defense Secretary Robert Gates has signed off on a new policy regulating how privately owned guns can be carried or stored on U.S. military installations.
The policy was developed following the shooting at Fort Hood in November, which left 13 soldiers dead. The suspect, Major Nidal Hasan was able to bring weapons he bought onto the base.
The new standardized policy is part of list of recommendations accepted by Gates and adopted by the Department of Defense after a review of the November shooting.

Effing idiots!
Liberals always do the opposite of what’s rational...
the real question is...WHY DONT THY ALL CARRY GUNS!!
Bleh.
This is when the term “Military Intelligence” comes into question.
This is insane.
How about only banning Muslim guns? Too logical - maybe...
Haha you almost got me...hard to tell satire from reality these days.
What? It’s not satire? Oh piss...
The military way, punish everyone not the offender.
Indeed.
Ban the Muslim extremists from the military bases, not the inanimate objects which are the guns.
They can’t help it, they’re effin’ liberals.
Words fail me.......
The question I always is “what specific measure would have prevented the medical jihadi attack and how?” In my mind Maj Hassan would have walked right through any of the announced countermeasures.
Stupid move IMO.
Armed Forces should be armed.
It’s a good thing the police officers were nearby.
But, one armed soldier could have stopped Nidal quicker.
Ping.
What is needed is a tighter restriction on Wahhabi moslems in the military— like ZERO. and get them out of my country before they kill again!!
The PC way, punish everyone not the offender.
The Democrat way, punish everyone not the offender.
All also true.
And people wonder why this moron became Obama’s military pointman...
The article is quite vague as to what the new restrictions are. Its pretty amazing to me that we don’t trust our military personnel to handle weapons safely. Seems to encourage reporting “ suspicious behavior”.
Suspicious behavior has always been reportable. I think there is a move afoot to change the definition of “suspicious”.
Why would the current climate encourage such distrust of the American soldier?
What is there possibly to be feared by our own noble, patriot warriors?
[Parenthetically, the biggest concern for LTC/Doctor Larkin: military law is
to justice what military music is to 94.5 Classic Rock on your radio dial.]
Is he so stupid as to actually believe that tighter gun restrictions would have prevented a Muslim jihadist from murdering dozens of people?
