Critics of no-guns-on-base rule say U.S. soldiers are ‘sitting ducks’

Last week’s shootings at two military facilities in Chattanooga, Tenn., have some questioning why military personnel on U.S. bases aren’t allowed to carry weapons for self-defense.

Gunman Mohammad Abdulazeez killed four marines and one sailor at a military recruiting center and a Navy operations office Thursday. Authorities said Abdulazeez did not appear to have ties to international terror groups. Police responding to the shooting eventually killed him.

anti-gun (D)'s >>> blood on their hands>>>Juan Williams ("The Five"), a self appointed spokesman who rails against arming them after this

Navy officer & Marine fired sidearms at Muhammad Abdulazeez, the gunman who murdered five service members in Chattanooga

"So, is the President of the United States going to oversee the prosecution of military personnel who defended themselves against the Chattanooga Jihadi using weapons they were not allowed to carry? When the rules get to this level of stupid, not allowing service members to protect themselves, that good military members have to break them, what does that say about those in charge?"

Unarmed troops scrambled to get away from Chattanooga gunman
July 23, 2015

describing a chaotic scene of mostly unarmed Marines scrambling to escape the man who approached with an assault rifle, a handgun and a vest full of extra ammunition. Five didn't make it.

Marines ran from room-to-room, trying to get their fellow service members to safety.

As Abdulazeez made his way through the reserve center he "continued to shoot those he encountered,"

The whole thing ended just a few minutes after it began, as police caught up to Abdulazeez, shooting and killing him — but not before he managed to wound one of them.

"It's also unclear why they were armed, as it is against Defense Department policy for anyone other than military police or law enforcement to carry weapons on federal property."

"A report distributed among senior Navy leaders during the shooting's aftermath said Lt. Cmdr. Timothy White, the support center's commanding officer, used his personal firearm to engage Abdulazeez"

translation: "unclear why they would risk court martial, dishonorable discharge and federal charges" to do their job, safeguarding/protecting the junior ranking men under their command.....
***A LIEUTENANT COMMANDER NO LESS***
literally, the support center's CO.......uh......because he has (the largest share of) the duty to safeguard his troops.....
