“Finding ‘common ground’ with the thinking of evil men is a fool’s errand” ~ Herschel Smith
As we witness our Armed Forces recruitment efforts repeatedly falling drastically short of even minimum maintenance goals, DOD in its infinite wisdom, now cynically manufactures yet another significant reason for young Americans not to enlist!
Under the laughable pretext of “lethal-means reduction,” a new DOD report, “Preventing Suicide in the U.S. Military: Recommendations from the Suicide Prevention and Response Independent Review Committee” [embedded below], consists of a demand for active-duty troops to “register” all privately-owned guns, even those troopers who are in possession of valid, state-issued CCW permits.
This will, of course, immediately bring about a demand on the part of “woke” base commanders that all privately-owned guns (now “registered”) be subsequently removed from homes (on-base or off) of troopers, including officers and NCOs, and locked-up “for safe-keeping” within a base armory.
Of course, rightful owners will never see their guns again!
Another part of this impending new policy is that “twenty-five” is to become the new minimum age for any Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine to privately own any kind of gun, again, even when the trooper already has a valid CCW permit!
So, we put into the hands of eighteen-year-olds automatic weapons that we don’t teach them to use (because they’re all too busy attending “transgender sensitivity” classes), and then prohibit them from obtaining, nor training with, their own weapons.
Even when troopers reach the age of twenty-five (in the unlikely event they’re still around), guns that they do privately own they can’t keep with them, as all guns must be locked-up and under the control of the base commander.
At this rate, few you recruits will be joining up. Fewer still will re-enlist.
It makes one wonder whom DOD is really working for!

Hold it. I thought we beat King George and his Red Coats. Why is DOD re-enacting Old Georges Mandates? Seems Like the top level DOD needs to be replaced, and SOON.
Lloyd Austin ,like Joe Biden is a traitor that will surrender to our enemies
All the more reason civilians need to arm up. After our woke military gets its behind stomped into the mud in the next war maybe we can keep the enemy from invading our home.
We went through that base lockup crap 40 to 50 years ago and then they grew up. One reason why I never lived in base housing in the 20 years when married.
well if people under the age of 25 cannot have firearms in their possession on or off base, then they shouldn’t be recruiting those same people.
as a veteran, i believe our military is being decimated by this administration; with the vaccine mandate, lgbtquiop policies, climate change and electric vehicle mandate. as a side note, how are planes going to fly with batteries?
If I knew then what I know now, I’d set up private gun storage lockers (similar to self-storage units) to allow troops (AD military ID required) to store their guns off-post without registering & storing in the arms rooms on-post.
