it offers PROTECTION from the very stupid laws of states like CA & MA.
the "said" troop just can't use them off the base if they do NOT meet state laws.
so if it was vermont.... it would be a non-issue, but states like MA, it would be.
i don't agree, but the DoD does actually help sometimes under U.S. Codes.
Did you miss the part where your right to carry is stripped from you as you cross the gate?
It IS an issue, no matter where you go.
The f feds, including the Army, should be subservient to state law not the other way around.
Can't we be socialist terrorists? I don't know about you but I can multi-task.

Read the Constitution lately?
How about, at all - other than the Second Amendment, that is?
Have you read the 10th Amendment?
Have you read how the commerce clause has been abused and perverted until the fed has become unrecognizable to those who founded it?
I stand by what I said.
Its hard to see the military become victims of gun violence on post... kind of had their hands tied on that one.
And the Supremacy Clause holds FEDERAL law trumps state law whenever the two are in conflict.
A senior NCO and I almost got in trouble for shooting in a rifle-only part of the post with handguns in 1981. Mine wasn't registered on post, though it was supposed to be. The MP's made me come into the station and fill out the form, but that was all that happened
The big outrage is that if our service men are convinced that people who don't register their firearms are terrorists, then it will have effectively desensitized them enough to fire on American civilians when the orders come down for them to go door to door, like the thugs in New Orleans. After all, their doing their duty if they're killing terrorists, right?
And you stand by the erroneous and irrelevant. Military control of military property has NOTHING to do with the Commerce Clause.

If not nullification, then seccession.Inanity.
John C. Calhoun's "Nullification Theory?" Be serious - this is the 21st Century, not the 19th.
That theory was drivel when proffered and utterly "nullified" by the Civil War and subsequent events. By design and practice, the USCT is the arbiter of what is or is not Constitutional; not any individual state.
If not nullification, then seccession [sic].
The problem for you today is that the South holds the winning hand.
If that breaks out again, you can bet your bottom dollar that I am skipping out of here for whatever independent republic forms. And my money is on Texas.Whereas you, Buckeye Boy, reside in the epicenter of the Confederacy; is that it?

Where you'll be outnumbered by La Raza and its followers.....
You really ought to visit Texas. It's not my favorite place in the world but that is definitely not true.
In addition, Texas has a rider in their constitution that allows them to go back to being an independent republic if they so choose.
