He didn't save a life. His idiocy and incompetence put lives in danger. The fact that he managed to NOT shoot someone with his ND does not give him credit for Jack.
My thoughts are this. If a citizen of the United States of America happens to serve in the military, should they be stripped of their 2A rights? No. I'm not advocating for the military to arm every single service man, woman and tranny in uniform. I'm not saying they should be given law enforcement powers. What I'm saying is that if, by their own choosing, they wish to carry a personal weapon for personal defense, they should be allowed to. Service menbers stationed at Fort Custer near where I live should still be required to qualify for a CPL as per state law, and carry as per state law. Laws that restrict carry of fire arms on federal property need to be rescinded so as not to hinder lawful carry of firearms.
As far as the combat arms MOS carrying government issued weapons... I actually support their doing so, on base. Off base, they are regular joe jag off citizen, and have no need to carry a government issued firearm, but I'm perfectly fine with them carrying personal firearms.
I'm ok with allowing American citizens to arm themselves.
