2 active shooters in one week prompt questions about military bases' ban on firearms.
Government-issued firearms are locked in an arms room on base and only distributed when they are needed for training, MSNBC military analyst and retired Army Col. Jack Jacobs said. Personal weapons are prohibited on base, but they must be registered with the base even though they are not to be used there.
While each base has slightly different security procedures, most typically provide only a cursory check of vehicles of authorized people when they enter, not anticipating there will be any weapons, whereas delivery trucks or visitors are given a thorough examination, Nelson said. The ban on firearms has been debated over the years, especially under President Donald Trump, who vowed in January 2016 that on his first day in office, he would"get rid of gun-free zones on schools, and on military bases.”
,"Not even our military bases are safe from gun violence. I'm heartsick for the victims and their families. We must end this epidemic.","My opinion is that no foreign national should have a weapon on a U.S. base unless our soldiers are armed."
