No one has a need for
a 50-100 round clip for any weapon outside
our armed forces.
No one has a "need" for a Ferrari neither, but they sure are fun.
Btw, who are you to tell me....a law abiding citizen....what I may, or may not need?
They
have NO REASON to store or issue weapons
because recruiters are effectively civilians in
uniform
Um....no. Recruiters are active duty military personnel working in a civilian environment...and are.....judging from this last terrorist attack...targets w/o a way of defending themselves.
If you can't aim well enough to
place a kill shot on large game in 10 rounds
or less you shouldnt have a gun in the first
place.
*Insert every gotdamn mingle2 laughing emote available*
Let me say this slowly....
The. 2nd. Amendment. Doesnt. Have. One. Damn. Thing. To. Do. With. Hunting.
Been off the grid for two days and am just now catching up on this attack.....To the fallen Marines and their families: Semper Fi.
For your reading enjoyment.....
"" CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — The 24-
year-old gunman who killed four
Marines in an attack on two
military sites here traveled to
Jordan last year for about seven
months, a senior intelligence
official said Friday.
The official said that investigators
were combing through the
computer, cellphone and social
media contacts of the gunman,
identified as Mohammod Youssuf
Abdulazeez, to determine whether
he was in touch with any
extremist groups in Jordan before
or during this trip.
Although counterterrorism officials
had not been investigating Mr.
Abdulazeez before Thursday’s
shooting, federal officials familiar
with the inquiry said that his
father had been investigated years
ago for giving money to an
organization with possible ties to
terrorists.""

The recruiters were defenseless, but this is not the fault of their command for not arming them. It IS the fault of the shooter. As is the fault of every shooter who pulls a trigger when pointing the barrel towards another person. Nobody says 'it was Jimmy's fault for being in the path of a moving bullet and not having a bullet proof skull' SHAME ON YOU JIMMY. Next time you get shot don't die so nobody will have to break a sweat digging a hole for you, and nobody will go to prison for missing the guy standing next to you.
Fine, the second amendment doesn't say anything about hunting, I know it's about self defense.
In a self defense situation, aside from a SWAT team or Fed's or a swarm of police cars
The maelstrom of gunfire would alert neighbors in most cases SOMEBODY would call the police upon hearing screaming and volleys of counterfire. I live in the woods neighbors have guns and shoot often. It's completly different from say a gang or drug cartel driving up in multiple vehicles (in which case you may have something to hide) and piling out like clown cars and shooting up somebody's house cars etc.
So if we are going to arm the recruiters shouldnt we then also arm potential victims of driveby shootings or shootings in general like the defenseless 7 year old son of the convicted and released gang member in Chicago? Perhaps they should give the father a gun from the evidence room and check the coroners availability status.
I'm not against guns but a 50-100-200 round drum is made for one purpose. Killing lots of people.
