When I served the majority of my Marines were squared away, level headed and responsible, but they were still 17 -19 year old kids whose thinking processes were what you would expect for that age range. And … there were the F'ups too.The military I was in had a LOT of F'ups and losers in it , drug addicts, etc. ...
the AGENDA of the anti gunner groups.I hear the head of moms demand action used this to call for more civilian gun control.
How would civilian gun control stop the government from issuing military personnel a service weapon?
And why isn't she more concerned that the Pearl harbor individual was a guard for a nuclear submarine so probably well vetted?
I'm afraid she might be mentally disabled.
Let's face it … even many infantry types don't want to shoot because they then have to clean their rifle to the armorer's standards … and that's too much work.
Because the military locks up weapons in the arms rooms when not being used, also it's a navy base, outside of the police and seals most of the navy wouldn't really know how to shoot back anyways. The reality of lost weapons is why they stay locked up, too many joes and sailors and airforce types would misplace their weapons while not in a combat zone, some even misplace them in a combat zone. We were allowed to keep personal weapons in our base housing, in the barracks they have to be locked up in the company arms room unless you are checking it out to go to the range and having been a joe in the barracks and later having spent enough time as CQ I wouldn't let joes have personal firearms in the barracks either. Young men+testosterone+booze+free time usually ends in a ruckus. That being said they do have SPs on Navy bases and they are armed.Why is the Active Shooter Response on a military base with combat veterans the same as a grade school?

It was always an adventure, lots of urinating happening where it shouldn't, broken furniture, vomiting and eventually fights.Oh god I completely forgot about CQ duty. CQ duty in a INF barracks on payday weekend = just no....

Sounds like a standard evening on the submarine base where I pulled SP duty, except the fights came first, then everything else. A few marines usually got to learn the lesson that, contrary to what they were taught in bootcamp, they were NOT Superman.It was always an adventure, lots of urinating happening where it shouldn't, broken furniture, vomiting and eventually fights.

Thank you. Someone who actually knows. All these people saying arm everyone in the military has never spent a minute in the military to know how much of a cluster that would be.The military I was in had a LOT of F'ups and losers in it , drug addicts, etc. At least 4 murders in the town I was stationed in in 3 years committed by soldiers one of whom I knew well. One guy even decapitated his wifes boyfriend and threw his head on her lap in the hospital while she was there to give birth to the other guys child. Those people. Lots of people who arent prepared for it getting really stressed out all the time. In a combat environment sure give them guns and ammo and point them in the direction of the enemy. Walking around garrison armed all the time? Sure but be prepared for more murders on base.
