It's a military base. There is registration of firearms I believe on bases (at least by people in certain living situations, on base single family housing is likely not covered here). There is also no personal storage for those in certain living circumstances and they have to store the gun in the armory. Those with more direct knowledge can fill in the details.
The big outrage is how they are trying to get their message across.
I thought we were all socialists now!
i call B.S. on the sign.
I hate that billboardAlmost as accurate as the billboard on the Pike in Boston.
Paging Homeland Security! We need a non-patriot taken care of on aisle 9!
Actually, a PShop is always a possibility.
Any organizations madating weapon registration and mandating disarmament deserve whatever they get.
Oh, wow, thanks......dude.... accountability.... it's your uncle sams way of life....
simple "registration" that does NOT get reported to the local authorities, permit (or) NOT, including states like NY & MA where a service member can PCS to and keep their post-ban mags, off list guns and A-15's with evil features.... ALL w/o a stupid gun permit.
the bases provide protection under title 10 USC so that a troop from OHIO can bring his "non-compliant" and "illegal" guns to MA w/o having to get a stupid permit. -he / she just can't carry or use them.
Oh, wow, thanks......
One of the many reasons I resigned from AD as soon as I could, shunned the Ready Reserve, and quit my IRR commission the very day I could.
I stand by what I said. Any place that disarms people deserves the worst that can befall it.
I am sick and tired of the rationalizations for pissing on my rights.
