There’s one thing the President could do that would prevent another military base shooting from ever happening again…In the wake of the Navy Yard shootings, Obama said he’d done all he can and called on Congress to pass more gun control laws. But not one proposed new law would have prevented it, especially not banning AR-15s, a rifle apparently used by nobody there except the police. But military base shootings could be halted for good with the stroke of Obama’s pen. All he has to do is rescind Bill Clinton’s 1993 order banning military personnel from carrying sidearms. That turned our bases into “gun-free zones,” or as I call them, sitting duck zones. And why? Is anyone better trained to carry a weapon than the US military? They’re the world’s policemen. Yet when they were under siege at Fort Hood or the Navy Yard, they had to wait helplessly for the police to come save them. Banning US military members from carrying guns is not only deadly, it’s as senseless as banning construction workers from carrying hammers.
