Notes from the Resistance
While this is a welcome and much needed announcement, and while Hegseth’s acknowledgement that the Second Amendment is a “God-given right” is consistent with the clear intent of the Framers of the Constitution, it needs to be recognized for what it is—a good first step but not the journey’s end. [More]
Appreciate the progress. Take it, but then demand more. After all, we’re not asking for anything that isn’t ours and owed to us.
Hegseth announces military can apply to carry guns on post [Watch]
Past time.
Sixteen Years Has Passed Since the Fort Hood Massacre and Nidal Hasan Is Out of Options [More]
Well, so are our servicemen.
I wonder how many gun owners and gun groups did what I asked, and spent a minute spreading the word and reminding Donald Trump of his promises.

Well, that took all of 30 seconds.
About the same amount of time as it takes a reader to leave a comment and do nothing. About the same amount of time to read this far…
“As Commander in Chief, this is a pen-and-a-phone moment for you,” CDT asserted. “No rogue federal judge has the power to stop you. Do it this week, and take one more easy Win.” [More]
Will any “gun rights groups” add their voices? Why or why not? How about just plain gun owners like …you?
It occurred to me that, were I a division / post commander now I would require all non-chaplains above the rank of SFC/PSG to pack and, if they didn’t have their own POW to draw from the arms rooms and pack those. [More]
What, your guys lower haven’t gone through background checks? Since when has limiting arms to elite “Only Ones” worked out? And why are so many cheering this on?

Fort Stewart army base shooting raises questions about military gun policies [More]
Yeah? Who else has been asking?
Any “gun groups”?
[Via bondmen]
President Trump promised to allow weapons carry (and later CCW) by military personnel on bases way back in 2015 [More]
If not now, when? Why not ask him?
Army secretary hails ‘heroism’ of soldiers who tackled alleged Fort Stewart shooter: ‘Absolutely saved lives’- Six soldiers put themselves in harm’s way when Sergeant Quornelius Radford allegedly shot five people at Georgia base [More]
And President Trump says “the perpetrator of the shooting at the Fort Stewart military base in Georgia will be ;prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.’’’
A question, if it’s not too impertinent:
What happened to noises Trump 1.0 was making seven years ago “to Allow Troops to Carry Personal Weapons on Bases”…?
I hope that merits a more intelligent and responsive MAGA rejoinder than “Would you rather have Kamala?”
