Chattanooga, TN – -(Ammoland.com)- Only days after AmmoLand Shooting Sports News interviewed with 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump, on the vulnerability of U.S. Servicemen being disarmed by misguided gun control polices, four Marines are cut down by a domestic terrorist.
The terrorist attack started at 10:45am in Chattanooga Tennessee when a well armed gunman, opened fire on a Marine Recruiting location. Then proceeded to the U.S. Naval Reserve Center on Amnicola Highway, about 11am, where the four marines were killed. The gunman was also killed. No details on who or what his motives were, have yet been released.
Donald Trump when recently asked about the deadly “Gun Free” policies at our American Military bases he stated;
“As Commander-in-Chief, I would mandate that soldiers remain armed and on alert at our military bases.
President Clinton never should have passed a ban on soldiers being able to protect themselves on bases. America’s Armed Forces will be armed.
They will be able to defend themselves against terrorists. Our brave soldiers should not be at risk because of policy created by civilian leadership. Political correctness has no place in this debate.”
These Gun Free Killing zones have left our highly trained war fighters defenseless against mass murderers and terrorist and needs to be changed.
As our friend John Farnam at Defense Training International says “Keep your head up. Maintain your options. Stay dangerous!”
As a journalist on an Army base, I find it really upsetting that people who report stories can’t get their facts straight, or simply neglect to check their facts. The article states this was a ‘Clinton era’ decision to not allow Soldiers to carry arms on base when in fact it was Bush the first. Bush the second and Clinton didn’t overturn it. Quoting Trump doesn’t lend any creditability considering he never gets his facts straight. The man’s an ass.
Our armed forces members are American ciitizens. The second amendment guaranties their right to keep and bear arms. they and all of us should be armed at all times and all places for we all are the militia. We all as Americans are responsible for our personal safety and for the safety of our families ad our neighbors. i have heard it said that the Japanese admiral Yama moto said that if they were to invade the united states they would find a rifle behind every blade of grass. If that were the case today, we would not need worry… Read more »
BHO, ISIS, Damn the Constitution, Destroy the Bill of Rights (especially the 2nd Amendment); GET THE PICTURE!
When I enlisted in the mid-1970s this policy was in effect. All personal arms were to be locked in either the unit’s arms room or the post Provost Marshal’s arms room. Violations were punishable by court martial. And, it was not Clinton who mandated the more recent on-post/base disarming of military personnel. That was George H.W. Bush.
Bill Clinton ‘ s MIDNIGHT BASKETBALL really lowered crime LMAO !!
The ONLY solution to this is to authorize all NCOs and commissioned officers, INCLUDING MILITARY RETIRES (after all, we’re still members of the Armed Forces, for LIFE) to carry arms 24/7/365 EVERYWHERE IN THE U.S.
