We need to stop being distracted by details and focus on the reality. Fort Hood has been attacked again, from within. I was shocked to learn that Fort Hood is a gun free zone. I had no idea a military base was gun free, except of course, for the shooters. As I read the reports, I was sickened that our own military is not safe on home soil. A contractor killed 12 at the Washington Navy Yard last fall, before police shot him.
It is reported that this shooter was undiagnosed, but had "issues." The previous Fort Hood shooter was a psychiatrist, so I'm guessing he had already passed a mental health evaluation.
No state in the union is more pro NRA and Second Amendment than Texas. Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. Now that this has been handled in the same manner twice, while a distracting media diversion is offered; perhaps it's time to reconsider policy. Our military personnel should not have to serve in fear in their own country.
