The Jan. '10 Issue of Proceedings Mag. points out that the shooter was facilitated by the anti gun attitude of the military, or officers worried about careers being hurt by accidental discharges, ect. Notes also the plot to kill troops @ Ft. Dix, the fragging in Kuwait by a muslim Sgt, & the shootings of 2 soldiers in a Little Rock recruiting office. Brought up the Israeli policy of troops that are off duty having a weopan & loaded mag available for quick use, probably would have had a real deterent effect, or resulted in a lot fewer casulties. Seem to recall, probably in the Clinton Admin days, the Ft. Hood commander trying to ban guns for anyone stationed there. Time to be better prepared.
