Open Letter to President Trump on Military Base Victim Disarmament

Shared via email by WarOnGuns Correspondent CDT:


Dear President Trump:


This past Thursday, there was a spree shooting at Fort Stewart, exacerbated by the fact that none of the servicemen in a position to control the shooter were armed. I won't waste any language further describing the attack, I'm confident you're aware of it.


There have been seven other spree shootings with this same profile since 2009, all made possible by President Clinton's ban on soldiers carrying arms inside military bases (DOD Directive 5210.56).


There is no place in the USA for victim disarmament policies, but *especially* not on military bases.


Back in 2015, you volunteered this pledge to Fredy Riehl of AmmoLand.com:


"As Commander-in-Chief, I would mandate that soldiers remain armed and on alert at our military bases. President Clinton never should have passed a ban on soldiers being able to protect themselves on bases. America’s Armed Forces will be armed. They will be able to defend themselves against terrorists. Our brave soldiers should not be at risk because of policy created by civilian leadership. Political correctness has no place in this debate.”


You made a similar promise on Military.com in 2018.


It's about time you followed through. What better time could there be?


As Commander in Chief, this is a pen-and-a-phone moment for you. No rogue federal judge has the power to stop you. Do it this week, and take one more easy Win.


Our servicemen deserve our respect and our trust. They're counting on you for this, as are we, their parents and grandparents. 


Please do this now, for all of us. Thank you.

Is Mel Gibson 'tooled up' on liberty as well as guns?

That's apparently a newsworthy tidbit for followers of celebrity tabloid gossipmongers.  Showbiz Spy's  Richard Head  tells readers  Gibson "has admitted he has a dangerous weapon hidden away in his home in case an intruder breaks in during the night and puts his family’s lives at risk." The 54-year-old actor insists there is nothing unusual about his outlook, as in modern society, times have changed to the extent where people need to be 'tooled up' with weapons to defend themselves, their loved-ones and their homes. True enough. There's nothing unusual about that and Gibson is correct--weapons are tools, and we owe it to ourselves and our loved ones to have them and know how to properly use them. It's hardly news though...

What is the National Rifle Association?

 Received via email:  To: ​ Hamlin, Douglas ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Mon 4/21/2025 8:51 AM To the National Rifle Association, What is the National Rifle Association? I've heard countless times it's "America's oldest civil rights group". Is that so? I've also heard it's a non profit corporation. It's definitely not making a profit now. I've been told, it's membership is 4million, 5mllion, even 6million members. Or is it less than 3million? The NRA was once a $300 to $400million non profit corporation. What do the books say now? Is the board even allowed to see the books? Or do they have the courage to ask? The most recent numbers I could find were revenues being about $176million, while expenditures were about $209million.

Sentiment Behind Trump Throat-Cutting ‘Artwork’ Extends to His Supporters

Image
 Reposted from  July 17, 2018 This is what they want for everyone who supports Trump’s pledged agenda. And these are the same people that support citizen disarmament. (Twitter/Facebook) “An art gallery in Portland, Oregon, has been criticized for displaying a piece of artwork on the window that depicts President Donald Trump’s throat being cut with a knife with the words ‘F**k Trump’ inscribed underneath,”  Newsweek reported Tuesday . “The One Grand Gallery located at 1000 E Burnside Street in Portland, Oregon has a decal of Trump being slashed in the throat with a knife on its window. The photo of the artwork surfaced on Twitter on Tuesday, with many people slamming the gallery for posting the violent image.” The piece has since been taken down by “a man who identified himself as the One Grand Gallery’s founder, who refused to give his name and hid his face,”  Fox 12 Oregon reports . “[P]eople that are responding, are responding with such anger and violence,” the co...
