Mark Milley said Thursday he is \u201cnot convinced\u201d that allowing soldiers to carry concealed personal firearms would have prevented the various shootings and terrorist attacks on military installations.<\/p>\n<p>Testifying before the Senate Committee on Armed Services to review the \u201cposture\u201d of the U.S. Army, Gen. Milley said evaluations of safety for smaller military campuses, such as recruiting centers and outposts, are determined on a case by case basis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It was a Navy officer and his personal weapon that put down the Chattanooga shooter last year, so I don&#8217;t know what he&#8217;s basing his evaluation upon. Besides, Joe Biden and the President have both admitted that the gun control regulations that they&#8217;ve inflicted on the American in the last few years won&#8217;t stop gun violence, but that doesn&#8217;t stop them from writing new useless laws.<\/p>\n<p>If Milley doesn&#8217;t want the troops to arm themselves on base, he should at least allow them to carry their weapons in their cars on their way to work &#8211; that&#8217;s when they&#8217;re the most vulnerable anyway.
