Shootings on bases in just the last year. One is a domestic violence situation, and I fully believe there will be more as the war rages on

There's gonna be a shit ton more...

Loads of people illegally keep guns on base housing, and carry on base.

But some of the ones that would commit gun crimes on base in the heat of a hypothetical moment, weren't willing to constantly break the rules by having a gun...

Now that it's not breaking the rules, lots of them will start. And some of them won't be able to restrain themselves.
