“Fort Stewart Shootings Recall Forgotten Trump Dedication,” this correspondent wrote final week in Firearms Information. “President Trump promised to permit weapons carry (and later CCW) by navy personnel on bases method again in 2015.”
The column famous these shootings have been however the latest, recounting prior incidents and summarizing present nonstandard insurance policies relating to private weapons “on DOD property by DOD personnel,” established in 2016 by Division of Protection Directive 5210.56, “Arming and the Use of Pressure.” It then recalled two separate pledges made by Donald Trump to “mandate that troopers stay armed and on alert at our navy bases.”
In 2015, candidate Trump promised that to AmmoLand Editor Fredy Riehl. He reiterated that dedication as a first-term president in 2018, as reported by Navy.com in its “Trump Pushes to Enable Troops to Carry Private Weapons on Bases” report.

“As Commander in Chief, it is a pen-and-a-phone second for you,” CDT asserted. “No rogue federal decide has the facility to cease you. Do it this week, and take yet another straightforward Win.”
“Fort Stewart military base taking pictures raises questions on navy gun insurance policies, the Related Press experiences.

I as soon as extra encourage them – and readers who imagine retaining his earlier guarantees is one thing President Trump must and might do, to remind him of that.
You possibly can attain him a number of methods, through feedback to username on X.com or Fact Social, or, in case you don’t use “social media” (which I urge you to rethink), you possibly can ship him a message through The White Home contact web page, and, in fact, in case you don’t thoughts a little bit of Secret Service scrutiny to verify the envelope is protected, through good old school snail mail, or by calling to depart a message.
