2 active shooters in one week prompt questions about military bases' ban on firearms

Government-issued firearms are locked in an arms room on base and only distributed when they are needed for training, MSNBC military analyst and retired Army Col. Jack Jacobs said. Personal weapons are prohibited on base, but they must be registered with the base even though they are not to be used there.

While each base has slightly different security procedures, most typically provide only a cursory check of vehicles of authorized people when they enter, not anticipating there will be any weapons, whereas delivery trucks or visitors are given a thorough examination, Nelson said. The ban on firearms has been debated over the years, especially under President Donald Trump, who vowed in January 2016 that on his first day in office, he would"get rid of gun-free zones on schools, and on military bases.”

,"Not even our military bases are safe from gun violence. I'm heartsick for the victims and their families. We must end this epidemic.","My opinion is that no foreign national should have a weapon on a U.S. base unless our soldiers are armed."

Great idea, next we could ban food at grocery stores

It would be even worse if they didn’t and don’t ever let any gun nut tell you otherwise!

A military base without guns is like a restaurant with no food. Because they go hand in hand.

US Saudi avaition training partnership at military bases was part of the $30 billion sale of F-15s to the Saudis - engineered by Hillary Clinton & State Department

Lolol

Get more guns that will solve the problem

Reaction first....problem second.....never fails...

The military isn’t hoodwinked by the nra like the Republican Party. They’re not stupid enough to let everyone run around with guns.

Send all the armed teachers to military bases. Trumps newest idea.

Ban firearms on a Military Base

It just means that when you are under attack, with guns, then you can't defend yourself. See how it works.

Damn it...arm the gates and MP/SPs. Done.

Wait. We’re going to BAN them on bases but not even have a conversation how we can ban them towards certain people, or ban certain kinds in the US itself 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why aren't the gun free zone signs working

uhhh how are we gonna have a working millitary if that millitary has no weapons

Questions from Steve Scalise types who want everyone to get shot? We don't need more guns on our bases.

Right, because more guns would mean less shootings 🙄
