THese type of people are major threat to our safety and gun rights. Perhaps this can result in more cop killings. While the government is blaming guns, instead of a failed legal system and the ethics of urban ethnic communities, these criminals are training and enhancing their skills and connections to weapons at the expense of tax payers and directly by this same government .

What do people think about this?
How will a proliferation of gang members joining the US Armed forces for military training and then using these guns to kill police/innocent civilians, affect our gun rights?

That is originally from a 2006 Chicago Sun Times news report.

Since then both the House and Senate have passed legislation trying to address this.

WASHINGTON — Gang membership among military personnel for the first time would be specifically forbidden under language outlined in the 2008 Defense authorization bill.

Current department regulations prohibit membership in any organizations that “espouse supremacist causes; attempt to create illegal discrimination … advocate the use of force or violence; or otherwise engage in efforts to deprive individuals of their civil rights.”

But they don’t explicitly list street gangs among those groups, an issue lawmakers and law enforcement officials have criticized as a way to overlook possible gang affiliation among troops in the ranks.

“I’ve heard from police officers across the country that there are problems with gangs on posts,” said Rep. Mike Thompson, D-Calif., who introduced the amendment.

House and Senate negotiators finalized their work on the 2008 Defense authorization bill earlier this month. The House gave final approval to the measure Wednesday, and the Senate passed it Friday. It now goes to President Bush to sign into law.
