    I heard the gun(s) used were purchased from the same place.

      Apparently, there are only about 5 stores within 10 miles of fort hood. Apparently only 3 are likely to have a somewhat decent choice of new guns, with accessories. Guns Galore is apparently the ONLY one within 5 miles. They allow you to use their federal firearms license, which I guess you could use to obfuscate records, if you purchase from another seller, or facilitate buying from them.

      Anyway, if I were going to buy, given the parameters, they would be the first place I would look at. I doubt that there is anything nefarious.

      I did, too, but I don't see it makes any difference in what happened.

        In light of the fact that our admin and a few reps have been caught redhanded in gun running, it may or may not. One rep was recently prosecuted for it........interesting note, it was an anti-gun rep. I think the note just means that they will be investigating the group and finding out if any of our own were involved in that group having the guns.

    I can't believe we have "gun free" military bases. Bases full of soldiers who are on pharm cocktails enough to bring horses to their knees and no guns. Real kewl. Real, real, kewl. How the F*** did we let things go this far?

    HEYSAL,

    YEAH! We are supposed to TRUST them! THEY ARE supposed to be trained!

    If they need drugs to be stable, they should be DISCHARGED!
    If they can't/won't protect the country, they should be DISCHARGED!
    If they have some bellief/relationship to work against the country, or base they should be DISCHARGED!

    The major military there should have guns!!!!!

    HECK, if they DON'T do the above, their biggest enemy could be THERE waiting to kill them! Look at Hassan!

    If they DON'T do the above, an enemy could walk in and wipe out the base. The MPs or whatever won't be able to react fast enough. A lot could maybe be killed with one bomb Look at pearl harbour!

    As for PC? There comes a time when you must IGNORE such things. Would you have a cleric that knows only islam as the pastor for a christian church? How about an atheist?

    And if THEY can't trust them, why should anyone ELSE?
