Baffled

It is interesting that we train our soldiers to use weapons, but then only allow them to posses them when out of the country, or to practice, but when on a base in the USA, they can't be trusted to be able to control a firearm to protect them selves or others. It just baffles me it's as understandable as dropping a 4 lb sledge on your foot and yelling OUCH several times then deciding to get the 8 lb sledge and repeat the same thing. Stupendous!!!

There is one place to lay blame: On the Islamic terrorist who opened fire after yelling "Allahu Akbar!"

There is one fix to minimize such future incidents and to minimize the carnage when they do happen: Allow carry on the most ridiculous GFZ in history, i.e. military installations.
