Love this honestly. Gonna be so much fash on fash violence you won't even believe
Obviously I don't really care about our military installations being secure and all that because I hate America and our armed service, but this is fucking idiotic.
I have a lot of friends who are veterans (anti-war vets, tbc). There's a reason servicemen aren't allowed to just carry guns all over the place and military installations are guarded by armed military police. Armymen (and women) are fucking psychos. When they aren't drunk they're strung out on coke, they have the attitude of fratboys trained to kill and worshipped by their entire country. The only thing keeping the average military base from devolving into a shooting gallery is the fact that the only people with guns on premises are on-duty MPs.
P.S., this is one step closer to my personal wish-list: Trump passing an Executive Order guaranteeing the right of people to bear arms at work.
Not only that, but having to check out a gun and report why is going to stop a lot of people to shoot themselves out. Expect a significant rise of suicide inside military bases
Hell yeah I hope so.

It's already particularly bad at recruit training. Basically every unit has at least one person try it in the first couple of weeks.
RIP to literally everyone stationed at Fort Bragg
God really did send these bozos to end American hegemony huh?
Oh yeah! I forgot a bunch of the cabinet and VP etc are all living on US bases now.
Countdown to gang gun fights on a US base? Is this on polymarket yet?
The American gang grafitti found in Iraq during the occupation is one of the most disquieting things I've ever read about. We really do export violence.
Lol. Fuck yeah. Something extremely cool is going to happen
Bring your
to work day. Every day.
american soldiers will now have the opportunity to do some of the funniest shit ever
Excellent idea Mr. Secretary, let the psychos rip each other apart
Yes. Sickos stay winning. Fuck yes.
Hell yeah, PvP zone
One you lathed this!
All this focus on individuality is definitely what you want in your military
lmao this is so stupid. what problem is this supposed to solve? not enough freedom for our warfighters?
Do this then institute a draft.
I've shared a few times about this. A string of unrelated murders around my barracks happened before I left. All of them were because people were drunk. There's going to be weekly shoot outs on every base in the country. Fucking insane.
Unlimited blue on blue fire onthe Yankee terrorists
operation first part of full meta jacket
hell yeah
incoming yankkkee wehrmacht mass shootings let's fucking go!

lol, I'm not sure what this is supposed to solve but I see two cases
- Domestic/"safe" bases: Aren't (at least effectively) all killings already done by military personnel? Won't this just make things worse?
- Warzone bases: What are they supposed to do, skeet shoot the incoming drones?
Security Blanket Fire
Domestic/"safe" bases: Aren't (at least effectively) all killings already done by military personnel? Won't this just make things worse?
But if something bad happens I will have MY gun to protect ME so in fact it will have improved the situation infinitely.
It says on the article in the OP that the memorandum applies specifically to "DOW property within the United States", so it would be case 1.
I archived the article because the article is on a US Government website. I don't want to link directly to a US Government website because then the US government could record Hexbear users who click the article by http referer headers.
Thanks, I didn't realize the archive link had additional info 
"Confirming your God-given right to self-protection is what I am signing into action today, and I'm proud to do so," the secretary concluded, just before signing the memo.
Getting dangerously close to begging for some pro-fragging Catch-22 logic here.
Holy fuck that's even better, specifically a risk to Americans, not even overseas bases. Someone in this thread mentioned that American politicians are moving onto bases for "security" so things could get very ""tragic"".
I wonder what the odds are that the brain genius thinks this will make the soldiers more capable of protecting them, thus making them safer? One thing I've noticed is that more and more high ranking assholes actually believe their own bullshit, unironically and in full. Wonder what the officials moving on to bases for security think of this? Because that too could be very funny. JD Vance moved onto a base, right? Someone interview JD Vance.
Puttin' bets on Stephen Miller getting shot. Who wants in?
Maybe it wasn't JDPON Don, it was Hoxaist Hegseth all along.
Please merciful Allah swt bless me with at least one headline describing an officer fragging committed by a fresh recruit in bootcamp. If heaven wills it Full Metal Jacket will become reality
Stephen Miller lives on a military base. Who else from the cabinet does?
Rubio too I think
We need a sicko-yes-hiding-behind-wall-of-sandbags emoji for this one
Hegseth genuinely seems to believe these rules only exist because of woke and not because they were written in blood. What an idiot.
Any sites taking bets when the first military base mass shooting is gonna be?
They really did this because they're bored? This feels like corporate slop just to let someone's resume say they did something. Did someone actually die from something a gun could have prevented? They've government property, why do they need priveliges?
This has been the kind of thing that conservative uncles have been facebook posting since the Fort Hood Shooting in 2009. The notion is that the shooter would have killed fewer people if the army hadn't "gone woke and left our brave warriors utterly defenceless against the forces of evil" or some shit like that.
Fantastic I support this!
I thought when you joined the military they made you leave all your possessions at home and they shaved your hair and put you in a uniform so that you would surrender your identity.
What the fuck possible justification is there for this. I do not accept the premise that military bases are soft targets.
I agree Pete Hegseth, these snowflakes made fragging their commanding officer too hard!
Now they can customize their own firearm of choice for the job.
