In the past five years, 30 people have died on military bases in the United States. Not in training accidents, in murders. They've been murdered in the course of going through their daily duties by whacked-out shooters. Twice, Fort Hood, Texas has experienced that horror. And soldiers -and frustration- of being inside the equivalent of a fair-sized city, full of trained -and unarmed -warriors...

Josh Horwitz, of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV), an anti-gun group formed in 1974 as the National Coalition to Ban Handguns, has apparently decided it's not just the Second Amendment that he opposes - it's the First Amendment as well.

Op-Ed: Fort Hood attack: My son, our soldiers, are defenseless, sitting ducks

by John Lott

7:00am Thursday, April 10, 2014

The Obama administration hasn’t learned anything from the massacres at Fort Hood in 2009 or the Washington Navy Yard last year. For all my research on how to stop or prevent mass public shootings and all the victims at these attacks that I have talked to over the years, the attack this week at Fort Hood was different.
