I did't personally research it. Seaspook is ex-navy and I had no reason to doubt his information, not saying you are not correct however.

I'd have to do some research to be certain, but I have a sneaking suspicion banning weapons on base came out of the 1970s "reforms" (which were all PC B.S. crap).Snarky Basterdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17823805913522030434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388559448711486521.post-14312299054874641782009-12-14T19:52:49.080-05:002009-12-14T19:52:49.080-05:00I love a chicky with a machine gun strapped to her...I love a chicky with a machine gun strapped to her ass.Snarky Basterdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17823805913522030434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388559448711486521.post-47361631631709427512009-12-14T16:33:06.688-05:002009-12-14T16:33:06.688-05:00I was shocked when I heard that military bases wer...I was shocked when I heard that military bases were gun free.

But I just don't understand the reason for it in the first place. Why did Clinton make them gun free zones? I just can't figure that out. Was it just a politically correct move to show the world our soldiers only carry guns when they have to? There was no reason for this decision.<br /> One thing that I do know is that if the base wasn't a gun free zone Hasan never would have even tried to kill these soldiers in the first place.Steve Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12361414050479528916noreply@blogger.com
