We send our Soldiers to foreign countries armed with the most sophisticated weapon systems in the world yet, we deny them the means to protect themselves and their families here in this “free” country. It makes absolutely NO sense. At a MINIMUM, Soldiers with state issued Concealed Handgun Licenses should be allowed to carry a weapon on post. Those with a CHL can carry off post and, less than 0.03 percent of crimes are committed by people who are LEGALLY carrying a gun. When are the dip$h!t$ going to admit that “Gun Free Zones” do not work?

All points brought by the news media of several different programs show the possibility of his being a muslime. US military needs to rid themselves of these people and because of the war between muslime and Amerika, they cannot be trusted. This is simply another example of killers having advantage over unarmed soldiers as the last time this kind of thing happened. He was armed with a .45 cal auto… Read more »
