When Did Military Bases Become 'Gun-Free Zones'?

"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools."  Romans 1:22

This is sheer insanity....and from the draft dodger, too!

When Did Military Bases Become 'Gun-Free Zones'?

It hasn't always been the case that only MPs can carry firearms on U.S. military bases. A mere twenty years ago, "gun free zones" made their way to these facilities under the watch of President Bill Clinton.


According to a Washington Times editorial written days after the Nov. 5, 2009 attack on soldiers at Fort Hood, one of Clinton's "first acts upon taking office... was to disarm U.S. soldiers on military bases."

Clinton's actions birthed Army regulations "forbidding military personnel from carrying their personal firearms and making it almost impossible for commanders to issue firearms to soldiers in the U.S. for personal protection."

In other words, thanks to Clinton, citizens who join the military to use guns to defend liberty abroad cannot practice their constitutional right to keep and bear arms while on active duty at home.

As the Times editorial board put it: "Because of Mr. Clinton, terrorists would face more return fire if they attacked a Texas Wal-Mart than the gunman faced at Fort Hood."

The same theme ran true at the Navy Yard in DC on September 16. Police were called after the shooter opened fired, and reports indicate it took approximately three to seven minutes for them to arrive. Each minute is an eternity when a lunatic with a weapon decides the "gun free zone" rules do not apply to him.

Where is the military and oath keepers?

Remember the USS Cole Bombing in Yemon the Gulf of Aden on Clinton's watch? They wouldn't allow the men to have any arms for protection, so they couldn't stop this from happening. I demand that any secret service that Bill Clinton has be immediately stripped of any military weapons or guns, and also the secret service for Obama to be stripped of all arms. Give them only one bullet they can put in their pocket like Barney Fife. This government should be shut down because of the ignoramuses running it! They're too "dolty" to run this great country.
