"Gun Free Zone" tragedy

TweetI thought about this when the news broke. "Gun Free Zone"...perfect scenario for a shooter, huh. Strip trained military personnel of their guns. unarm the armed forces.

Another "Gun Free Zone" Tragedy.

"Apparently it’s not enough for our government that the heroes in America’s armed forces risk their lives overseas defending our freedom.

These days, our soldiers aren't even safe here at home stationed on secure military bases.

On November 5th, a lone gunman murdered 13 fully-trained, ready to deploy soldiers, and wounded 29 more, in the most shocking terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11.

How was Nidal Hasan, a psychologist, able to take down so many trained soldiers? Because the government thinks its better to keep it’s armed service members unarmed . . .

That’s right. Our military men and woman are banned from carrying the weapons they are trained and trusted to use in the heat of combat.

President Clinton authored this asinine policy back in 1993 when he declared all military bases “Gun Free Zones.”

As you know, “Gun Free Zones” do nothing but assure criminals, and now terrorists, that they will find unarmed victims defenseless against a homicidal rampage.

Maybe I’m crazy, but I’d rather the soldiers delivered a barrage of bullets to end Hasan’s attack the second he opened fire.

I’d rather Hasan was dead and the heroes he murdered were still alive.

But because of Clinton’s ingenious policy of an unarmed armed forces, this psychopath methodically executed soldier after soldier before a local traffic cop could arrive on the scene.

If we didn't have “Gun Free Zones” and our armed forces were . . . I don't know . . . ARMED, Nadir Hasan would have met bullets instead of bodies.

On this Veteran’s Day, remember that the safety of our armed forces is of paramount importance whether it’s on the battlefield or here at home."

TweetGreat post. I was not aware of this policy of gun free military bases.. Man that is nuts.
The families of those slain or maimed should file a class action lawsuit against the US Government for looking the other way when this Islamic radical begain espousing Jihadist ideology several months ago. In the future, if a US service person starts spouting off anti american and pro Jihadist ideology, then he should be immediately arrested and court marshalled. This tragedy was totally preventable. This guy didnt just appear out of nowhere and start shooting.

Tweetno. you're exactly right dzone. He did not just snap, and go shoot up the post office. This guy made it on the terrorist radar a while back. They knew all about him, but you'd be damned to hell and back if you were to slam this peice of shyt Islamic radical. Look at our candy ass government. They won't even call a spade what it is.

And just as crazy is the part where we have to jump through hoops to arm ourselves. Even crazier, unarmed military personell!!! wtf!???
