(2,636 posts)25. There's JROTC for that
We have a a voluntary military and 50 voluntary militias--the national guard.
Soldiers and Guardsmen don't get to take their weapons home with them at night. We don't require our service members to buy and maintain their own weapons, either. There are National Guard Armories all over the [lace, and there is an armory on every base.
If the military leadership won't allow trained, regulated, drilled, professional soldiers to take their ARs and MRAPs home with them, why does Joe Phatphuck think his 30 semi automatic rifles and 45 handguns and two bazookas in his living room are "safe" and that he's a "good guy with an arsenal?" (NB Joe can only shoot one assault rifle or two hand guns at any one time)
