Could the democrats share some blame for the tragedy at Fort Hood? After all it was a democrat that took the guns away from all military post that are not in a hostile area. It was President Clinton who disarmed the military in 1993, declaring all military bases Gun Free. Let's be realistic about this. Would it have really mattered if one or two personal had been carrying a weapon? More then likely not. The terrorist that had opened fire would have done so anyway but, maybe not as many personal would have been killed or wounded if military personal had carried weapons.

One military wife of a wounded soldier whose wounds were not serious, felt that her husband would be safer in Afghanistan. Mandy Foster's husband is scheduled to go to Afghanistan in January and she had said that at least he would be armed to defend himself.
