Hawkins: Gun-Free Military Installations Make U.S. Troops Sitting Ducks


AWR Hawkins 7 Dec 2019

The December 6, 2019, Naval Air Station Pensacola attack reminded us once more that gun-free policies on military installations make U.S. troops sitting ducks.

Breitbart News reported that a gunman opened fire Friday morning in Pensacola, killing three innocents and causing numerous others to be transported to the hospital for injuries.

The Associated Press reported that the Pensacola gunman was an aviation student from Saudi Arabia, and NBC News reported that the gunman’s name was Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani.

He used a handgun to carry out his attack.

Breitbart News reported the air station’s gun-free status shortly after the attack. The station’s firearm policy, as described by Commander, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic, notes:

There is nothing new about this. It has always been that way. Sailors and Air Force personnel almost never even touch a handgun or rifle unless the are aircrew,and even then it's only handguns.

Even in the USMC and the US Army,probably only 10 percent of the Marines or soldiers are riflemen.

MOST military bases rely entirely on military police to defend them,and a bigger pack of losers than military police would be hard to find anywhere.

Even amongst the infantry,the weapons remain locked up and the ammo locked up separate from the weapons almost all the time.

There ARE exceptions to this general rule,but I won't mention them because I don't want to spoil the surprise for any intruders.
