LabRat Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Why are our bases gun free zones? Really sad that they ordered our military for God's sake to "shelter in place". F that - arm them and let them hunt the bastard(s) down. Who wants to bet it's not a conservative or a Tea Party activist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabRat Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 They are very quick to rule out terrorism. This report came out yesterday - FBI and the military on a manhunt for Muhammad Abdullah Hassan.

Blue Diesel Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I'm afraid there's gonna be a whole lot more of it, unfortunately. Obviously we don't know the story on this, but there are some seriously messed up people out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Diesel Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 CNN reported that there may be an additional shooter, though that was not confirmed. U.S. congressman John Carter said that the shooter’s name, unconfirmed, was Ivan Lopez and that he was a military truck driver in full uniform. Initial reports said the attack was not terrorism, but was soldier on soldier violence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F that - arm them and let them hunt the bastard(s) down. Who wants to bet it's not a conservative or a Tea Party activist? Mass gun violence always happens in "gun free zones". That's why there's so many wounded/killed. The perpetrators know the victims will be helpless. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalper38 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I think it's absolutely ridiculous that they trust us Soldier/Sailors/Airmen/Marines to carry guns in war but not at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabRat Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Well Diane Feinstein believes that vets are mentally ill and shouldn't own firearms and I'm sure there are other progressives that feel the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Diane Feinstein believes that vets are mentally ill and shouldn't own firearms and I'm sure there are other progressives that feel the same way. I was the DPW on Bagram Air Field and there were over 30,000 folks there. 99% of which were packing. Murder rate = 0%. Occasional suicides happened but no one had the balls to start shooting up the place because of the heat that would come back at you. ASAP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
