Watch it Bucko!
Haha!
I laughed way hard at this.
The draft increases the pool to draw from, that’s all. The rest is up to the military to scrutinize those recruited. Just imagine the day the 2A was amended and then tell the troops of that time they are not allowed access to firearms for their protection wherever and with whomever they ventured. Has maturity of soldiers diminished since those days to the point we have to manage them them like a bunch of college frats, does the military have to pander to these all volunteers to keep them at bay, I say no. They’re US citizens and should be afforded the rights of the 2A and the penalties for abuse just like all Americans.
Not to go back on the current troops efforts but back in the day of my ancient play a step out of line got a boot up your rear by those of concern and no mama to cry to. Nothing badass about the day just the needed knowledge was passed short, swift and certain.
So here we go, when the differences go thin the troll flag comes out. I say you’re as much the problem as any anti-gunner that shouts bloody murder at our usage of guns. The 2A has been thrown out the window in the military and for no reason other than the troops can’t be trusted. Well, so can a bunch of civilians not be trusted by their actions with firearms yet we manage to survive their onslaught. I dare say the military, a true disciplined military, would not have any abuses more so than those of us walking the streets. Give them the right to protect themselves.LOL, now I know you are trolling and not serious....
At least the kids who join, want to be there. Drafting kids today will look a tad different than drafting kids during WWII and Korea (even VN).... Now your original argument makes even less sense: let's conscript kids, make them join when they don't want to, and give them access to weps on base? Get outta here....
It still comes back that your thinking is an American citizen in the military can not be trusted with a firearm while a American citizen on the street can; same age, same everything. Pure anti-gun thinking, I don’t care how you paint it, it still comes out the same.
When the bases on our own soil become a soft target for terrorists and mass murders it is high time to get those empowered, namely Congress, to get those in the military to quit doing stupid and come up with a way to stop the threat. I know, it’s too easy to do the right thing and allow the service people to protect themselves as individuals as intended in the 2A, an amendment enacted just for that purpose and granted to all US citizens, yes all US citizens.[/QUOTE]
They are either adults or not. If an 18 yo can legally open carry in NC, same as those that took an oath to defend this county. Stop the double standards.
Officers are some of the most incompetent weapons handlers. If your son has only handled a small arms once in service what makes you think he as an officer is competent? Stop classifying all troops as the anti gunners do with college students. I've been armed and with troops since 83' and you're off base with that. Yes, some do but the majority do not. Only have to keep weapons in the arms room if you live in barracks. You can also keep them off post or if married you can keep them in your base quarters or off post. Weapons handling is always a training issue.
Barracks are NOT what they were in the 1960s. They are more 2-3 man rooms or single rooms ie Dorm with share a bathroom/kitchen. Again most commands have those in barracks lock them up in the arms room. Before arms rooms the rifles were kept in racks in the barracks.
