This video details a significant policy shift by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, restoring Second Amendment rights for service members on military installations. The new order directs commanders to allow personal firearm carry for self-defense, with a presumption of approval for requests. This change addresses long-standing contradictions where trained personnel were disarmed on bases, aiming to enhance personal security.
According to data from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) and reported by Breitbart News, privately owned firearms in America have surpassed 470 million. This includes over 28 million firearms categorized by Democrats as 'assault weapons,' such as AR and AK style rifles. Notably, despite President Biden campaigning on a platform opposing these firearms and advocating for bans, the production of such weapons saw a 32% increase from 2020 to 2021, the first year of his administration.
The Pentagon has released a directive allowing service members to carry firearms on military property, a significant policy shift. However, the policy remains restrictive, requiring commander approval (O5 or higher), a privately owned firearm, a minimum age of 21, completion of a concealed carry course, and potential state-level permits. Service members must also agree to personal liability if their weapon use is deemed negligent. While a step in the right direction, the policy has limitations such as a 90-day validity for carry permission and strict eligibility requirements regarding military and civilian legal history.
