  • I just posted the link to the petition all over Facebook, on a bunch of friends walls, most of which have 500+ friends. It ought to get around fast!

• Agree with deepthinker !
  The original post to blame Bush was a bit misleading - just did not say which Bush .......

• This is on the old man Bush
  http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/09/17/this-is-why-most-military-personnel-are-disarmed-on-military-bases-and-its-not-clintons-fault/. Donald Atwood issued the order in Jan. 1992.

• I am certain the shooter would not have lasted as long on our street.

  Military personnel should be able to match what we can do for ourselves.

• Not Bush ..........

  It hasn't always been the case that only MPs can carry firearms on U.S. military bases. A mere twenty years ago, "gun free zones" made their way to these facilities under the watch of President Bill Clinton.

  According to a Washington Times editorial written days after the Nov. 5, 2009 attack on soldiers at Fort Hood, one of Clinton's "first acts upon taking office... was to disarm U.S. soldiers on military bases."

  Clinton's actions birthed Army regulations "forbidding military personnel from carrying their personal firearms and making it almost impossible for commanders to issue firearms to soldiers in the U.S. for personal protection."

  In other words, thanks to Clinton, citizens who join the military to use guns to defend liberty abroad cannot practice their constitutional right to keep and bear arms while on active duty at home.

  As the Times editorial board put it: "Because of Mr. Clinton, terrorists would face more return fire if they attacked a Texas Wal-Mart than the gunman faced at Fort Hood."

  The same theme ran true at the Navy Yard in DC on September 16. Police were called after the shooter opened fired, and reports indicate it took approximately three to seven minutes for them to arrive. Each minute is an eternity when a lunatic with a weapon decides the "gun free zone" rules do not apply to him.

  • If you follow the link attached to the story, you will learn that people blaming Clinton cite Army Regulation 190-14, a policy implemented in 1993, but that regulation was specifically designed for the purpose of implementing Department of Defense Directive 5210.56, which was signed into effect by a deputy secretary of defense under President George H.W. Bush.

    So the original post is correct and your sources are wrong because they did not delve deep enough.

    The sooner we understand that establishment Republicans like the Bush family are just as liberal and statist as the Democrats they pretend to oppose, the sooner we can take this country back. I generally like the Bush family personally, but they are all steeped in leftwing political philosophy from cradle to grave.

    • criminalize guns and only criminals will have guns. regardless of who's doing the criminalizing.

• My son says that he feels naked every day when he goes on base and he is a Captain.

  • I used to keep a loaded gun in my car when I was in the military, but then I served under Reagan.

    • My dad always had his weapon loaded and ready in the car. We grew up with guns in the house completely accessible and never touched them.
