Perhaps you could shed some light on the reason everyone should walk around all day on a base in the United States armed to the teeth? What would be the purpose of it?
Isn't it obvious? In case someone comes shooting! The same reason we need armed people in movie theatres, shopping malls, schools, churches, our work places, country roads, city streets in New York, a McDonald's restaurant...man, I've lost track. We just damn well all better be carrying heavy artillery everywhere we go, lest the vermin spawn of the NRA come looking for us.
I knew this fat old cop that could take your head off with any weapon in seconds. I wouldn't want to depend on him if he had to run somewhere but I wouldn't wan anyone else standing next to me either.
My criminal law professor (a 30 year veteran of a nearby county police force) told us, "Never run from a fat cop. He's not gonna go through the effort of running after you."
So you're suggesting that trained military personnel cannot be trusted with firearms?
Really?
On a military base?
Wow. I might get the impression that they are dangerous or something.
That is certainly not the case and the ignorance of some of you people about the military is astounding.Maybe that is why there is so much ignorance in the gun grabbers circle.
Are you serious? What is the purpose of anyone carrying a gun on base unless your job classification requires it? Hell no I am not joking.
How will they defend us against the zombies if they aren't carrying guns?
Oh, I know, every untrained civilian Tom, Dick or Harry who does carry will take care of it, right?

Look Scotty. Let me explain the obvious to you: Americans COUNT on our brave military personnel to protect us from enemies, foreign and domestic. That's their #1 job. One simple thing to do is to make sure that every military base is a place that cannot be infiltrated by someone looking to kill soldiers. If a single man can enter the most secure places in our country and shoot up 42 people, then it's not secure and we as a nation are not protected as we should be. Fort Hood is an example of how even putting armed guards in charge of the security was a complete failure and 13 of those 42 people died because of it. Who was on MP duty at that place, Barney Fife? The fact that any terrorist or foreign enemy can take out that many American soldiers on their own turf says how impossible it is to protect people with guns. Seeing as all MPs are trained on how to use a weapon (unlike teachers) it would be absolutely asinine to expect teachers to perform security duties better than a trained MP, dotcha think?

Right.
It all becomes clear.
Cops have higher accidental shooting rates than untrained civilians...
Don't you just love it when the loony liberals try to comment about the military when they obviously have no idea what they're talking about?
God I can't believe the ignorance displayed by this group here. Damn!!!
