(33,982 posts)As you have been told many times, places like Ft. Hood, you do not just walk around with a gun. Weapons are checked in and out of the armory on a 'need' basis only. The only people walking around armed, WITH AMMO for the most part, are MP's.
They even tightly restrict what you can possess in your own quarters on-base. Personal firearms have to be registered and in most cases, locked up.
So yes, it is a mostly gun-free zone. Nidal wouldn't have lasted 60 seconds if that weren't the case.
A lot of the rest of what you said is true, most who do that sort of thing want to die on some level, and most self-destruct when they encounter armed opposition. There are some things wrong with what the poster above you said, but your counter of Fort Hood and other military bases, is absurd.
