Military "Gun Confiscation?"

merrily
Barn Army Special Forces

It’s about time that something like this has formed. I’m an E7 in the Army National Guard (Colorado, B co. 5/19th SFG) I’m an 18C and I’m getting the hell out of the Army. I’ve had enough. I ETS in October and I’m picking up my family and we’re moving to New Hampshire to join other defenders of the Republic in a place that is still one of the freest places in the nation. (I’m a member of the Free State Project.)

I’m currently serving on OWT status at Ft. Bliss, TX. I wanted to share what is going on here.

I can't tell you that this isn't an overreaction of some kind, but it doesn't matter.  What matters is this is entirely consistent with every move our ersatz President Obama has made thus far.  His stated plan to ban all semi-auto guns; taking used military brass off the public market; using the tax weapon to punish, ala carte; taking over private sector business; wall-to-wall lies; blah-blah-blah.  Obama and Congressional Democrats are Germany's National Socialists reborn. Let's pray that nobody is forced to do something unlawful in defense of kith, kin, and country. [Cao Girl continued]

Just damn Rodger. Just damn.

I'm gonna have a hard time trying to sleep tonight thinking about that. What the hell are we supposed to do dammit? What the hell are we supposed to do?

No one cared if you had personal weapons on Ft Bliss back in the Reagan days when I was there.

There will be a bunch of GI's sending weapons back home. El Paso is a rough town anymore and I'd be damned if I'd be giving my firearms up.

BTW, I'd like a shot at that sniper myself. Old but not dead yet, Unk

And the BS flag is thrown. Most military bases have a policy wherein you must store privately owned weapons (firearms, bows, hunting knives, etc.) in the unit arms room if you live in the barracks (as most young, single soldiers do.)

All members living on post in government quarters (as I sometimes do, depending on duty station and availability) are required to register their firearms with the provost marshal. It's been this way forever.

Upon arrival at their duty station, until they register their weapons, they must store them in the unit arms room. I'VE DONE THIS MYSELF. registration takes all of five minutes. They never even need to see the weapons, you just list the make/model and sn. There is no limit on the # you may own, nobody comes by to inspect.

While I am 100% against gun registration, I realize that a) it's a federal installation, b) the commanding general makes the rules on base, and c) it's a privilege to live on base, and if I don't like it, I can live off base. As for living off base and still being required to register firearms, the policy says you must, but they've no right to make you do so... if the weapons belong to your family member, not you. My dog is a VERY well armed lab.

I was an avid Scuba diver when I was in the Marines. I had to check in my spear gun every weekend at the armory. It would have been considered a weapon in the barracks and I would have easily lost a stripe. Never lived on base housing so I don't know, but they had their rules out there as well.
