GPM nailed it.
The anti's have no concern for the families of our dead soldiers or the wounded soldiers.
They see this as an opportunity to forward their anti-American agenda and would sacrifice thousands more if if they thought it would help their cause.

<quoted text>Soldiers went armed until very recently (WWII era) At that time, the staff decided that they could no longer trust the men to be armed and stopped allowing them to keep their weapons at hand.
Huh! I just realized that it was the Great Socialist who was in charge at that time. Old FDR was in the saddle when the military was emasculated.

All military guns are owned by the govt. They're all stored in crude, vault-like armories, with redundant security measures similar to Fort Knox. For example, rifles are locked in gun racks which are locked in the armory (which is like a vault). The armory is guarded 24/7 with armed personnel walking (circling) the armory at all times (when armory personnel are not working there).
All military armories are guarded in this manner. Army and Marine Corps armories are full of powerful weapons worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The U.S. military is full of all kinds of people (good and bad).
If soldiers or marines were allowed to carry their RIFLES 24/7 they would end up missing from theft, pawn, or illegal sales. All kinds of excuses would be used as alibis for missing guns (or missing gun parts). When rifles are stored in armories trained gunsmiths (armorers) are able to inspect, repair and care for them, and ACCOUNT for them.
But. Military personnel could easily buy and conceal/carry their own handguns while on base for personal protection.

If the anti-gun nuts want to feel safe, then they should move to Canada, England or Australia or any other Country that has banned Hand guns,matter of fact we have one just 90 miles from the southern tip of Florida where they would really be right at home.
Enlister Personal are not allowed to keep their weapons in their living quarters, where as Officers are allowed to.
It is a Felony to bring a weapon on ANY FEDERAL Reservation, Military base or Fort, VA Clinic or Hospital.
Whenever I have an appointment at VA clinic I have to leave my side arm home even though I have a Valid CCW Permit issued by the State of Florida

<quoted text>Correction: Enlisted personel are not allowed to keep weapons in their BARRACKS rooms, however if they are married & live in on base quarters (homes) they can store their weapons there with the permission of their COs. And it is not a felony to bring a weapon on base for legitimate purposes, like hunting or going to the shooting range. It is a felony to carry a loaded weapon open or concealed, or to have a loaded weapon in your vehicle, unless you are a LEO, or are in training.
