@Tim ... This legislation remains the common sense correction to prevent another Navy Yard or Fort Hood massacre, as President Trump echoed in his speech to the 2018 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), where he called for ending the ban on military personnel carrying firearms:
"You know the five great soldiers from four years ago, three of them were world-class marksmen. They were on a military base in a gun-free zone. They were asked to check their guns quite far away. And a maniac walked in, guns blazing, killed all of five of them. He wouldn't of had a chance if these world-class marksmen had - on a military base - access to their guns. And I'm going to look at that whole policy on military bases. If we can't have - (applause) - all five were killed. All five. The guy wouldn't have had a chance.
"But we're going to look at that whole military base, gun-free zone. If we can't have our military holding guns, it's pretty bad. We had a number of instances on military bases. You know that. So we want to protect our military. We want to make our military stronger and better than it's ever been before. (Applause.)"
The president is right; it's time to repeal these disastrous regulations to save lives. ...
