USSECDEF Lifts Personal Firearms Ban on US Military Bases

"Secretary of War Pete Hegseth signed a memorandum directing military installation commanders to allow War Department personnel -- namely, uniformed service members -- to request to carry privately owned firearms while in their nonofficial duty capacity on DOW property within the US."

Pete Hegseth is not an intelligent man

Comments

The completely irresponsible and massively incompetent Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth bleating on social media:

"Before today, it was virtually impossible ... for War Department personnel to get permission to carry and store their own personal weapons aligned with the state laws where we operate our installations. ... Well, that's no longer."

Each year, approximately 48,830 Americans die from firearm injuries or one every eleven minutes. The average number of mass shootings in the US is roughly 50 to 60 per year, which translates to approximately four to five mass shootings per month.

I remain to be convinced that the results of this new ruling will end up in a happy place.
