Round 2?
Is it a Jihadist?
Glad I’m not there this time.
Eesh.
and where active duty military are kept defenseless by stupid liberal feel-good policies . . . . . . .
50’s? No, but in kindergarten (1979) I brought my toy plastic rifle for show and tell. The principal saw me walking with it, said, “Don’t shoot!”, laughed and went on her way.
“FBI alert: Former Army recruit planning ‘Fort Hood-inspired jihad’”

I guess we’ll see if that came true.

I took hunter safety through my Scout troop in 1967 at my school in rural Virginia. Our Scoutmaster expanded the course to a general intro to firearms and safe handling. So he and some of the other fathers brought in some of their own firearms for us to see examples of various types and become familiar with how they worked.
It was taught in the gym of the local grade school in the evening. I can’t imagine too many schools would let that happen now.
In high school, squirt guns were banned. The staff would confiscate them and return them at the end of the day. Not banned because they looked like guns, but because they were disruptive. Now you’d have a lockdown
So the Government has failed TWICE in the same place to keep people safe in a gun free zone? And I’m supposed to believe that gun control does anything?
I just love seeing the festering cesspits of bandwidth kept by the civilian disarmament industrial complex waaaay down there at the bottom of the rankings. Just goes to show you how little support they really have among We, The People.
Cue Feinstein pushing new legislation in 5, 4, 3…

I was initially skeptical that it was a terrorist; I’d think one would strike during the middle of the day when there would be more people around and there would be greater impact on the news cycle. Of course, I wouldn’t rule it out.
I’ve always thought that the concept of a military installation being a “gun-free” zone is even more asinine than trying to make most places “gun-free”. I spent most of 16 September 2013 wishing I could have legally had my handgun at the Navy Yard. Several of my co-workers spent the day learning that a “gun-free” zone is really just a “one gun” zone as soon as it matters.
Whatever his/her/their motivations, I hope they get taken down in short order.
As always, I have just one question: Who get’s fired? Hence, the reason .gov is incompetent.
Hard to believe Fox ran this yesterday… http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/04/01/military-hunts-one-time-recruit-planning-ft-hood-style-jihad/
I hope they execute him on site, whomever it is…
Army- Recruit says he wants to kill soldiers like in Fort Hood. Let’s just cut him loose.
FBI- YESTERDAY! We’re looking for that guy that wants to pull another Fort Hood massacre.
Army- TODAY. Some guy is at Fort Hood, killing people.
So much WTF!
This is example number one why gun free zones are the dumbest idea out there. War fighters are disarmed at a freaking military base has to be about as stupid an idea that I’ve ever heard. Let’s send them into combat on foreign soil but make them targets at home.
Sound performance between them is trivial. The most important feature is that the Tirant can be taken apart and cleaned, unlike the Osprey.
Is there any other local, state or federal agency/department that is disarmed at the station, office or base other than the US military?
Fish and Game are armed and I have no problem with that
Where’s the CAV patch on the gate in this photo. Was stationed at Ft. Hood.
When I was a teenager in the early 70’s near Kenosha WI I lived at the end of a small subdivision about two block out side of the city limits, next door was a farmers field. We shot skeet, pistols and 22 rifles in the side yard, and hunted pheasants and rabbits behind the house and in the field next door. Never got a complaint.
Anyone have an idea how many NCOs or Officers are stationed at the base?
I mean I am imagining a lot of M9s and 1911s could find use here, just curious how many.
We had over 400 at Fort Bragg, combined I mean.
I was a teenager, and joined the Navy in the 50’s and I didn’t even know what marijuana, heroine, and all that other hard stuff was. Never heard of it. Nobody ever talked about it, The older we get, the more we learn.
My memory bank is full now, have to forget something, so I’ll have room to remember something new.
Even when forewarned about the threat…
Just shows how unsafe our bases are, or how incompetent the brass is.
the only fluid situation that THING is worried about is whether he’s gonna fellate Michelles COMMENT MODERATED or let her take in in the COMMENT MODERATED tonight
MDA and MAIG must be part ort of the Westboro Baptist Church, they NEVER miss an opportunity to denigrate gun owners…
I find this heart breaking.
As per NBC “news”
“But military officials told NBC News the shooting appeared to have stemmed from a personal dispute at a motor pool and was unrelated to terrorism.”
