I was listening to talk radio out of Boston a short while ago, and a caller said, “When I was in the Marine Corps, my military base was a big gun free zone. The guard at the entrance was armed, and the MPs were armed. No one else was armed. If I had even a round of ammo in my car, I would have gotten into trouble.”
If I was Commander-in-Chief, an order would go out immediately that all military personnel and border agents are henceforth to be armed at all times with at least a sidearm. Loaded, of course. Nothing is more useless than an unloaded weapon.
