Remember Fort Hood
Yes, I remember Fort Hood. But that was not the fault of the gun, it was the fault of the government. Days after the shooting, reports in the media revealed that a Joint Terrorism Task Force had been aware of a series of e-mails between Hasan and the Yemen-based imam Anwar al-Awlaki, who had been monitored by the NSA as a security threat. But they did nothing about it except sit back and wait.
Further more, he did not use one of the weapons assigned to him by uncle sugar. He used an FN Five-seven pistol, purchased on November 5. It was a private weapon he admitted to buying because it was the most advanced handgun with the largest magazine he could get.
The man was dangerous, they knew it, and they did nothing about it until someone got killed. He should have been confined and not be allowed his assigned weapons until an investigation was accomplished. Government allowed it happen. Get rid of the incompetence, and it wouldn’t have happened. To be honest, if they had just used protocol, they’d have been fine. And protocol would have taken steps to keep a weapon out of his hands.
