So one thing that ticks me off about this country is how sometimes people want to be "overly patriotic" and don't see past a few things. Like all the articles about this case, why does the fact that he is a service member matter at ALL? This story is fishy in every way. So he "accidentally" crosses the border with
firearms in his car. That means he had multiple weapons in the car, not just one used for personal protection. He then tries to escape prison! And blames it on being harassed by a few prisoners... Since they love to point this out, this man is suppose to be a Marine NCO, I would hope that he would have a little more in him than breakdown at threats. My real point is that be thankful and proud of our service members, but don't believe that they are perfect. Major Hasan was a service member too. Any military members here can attest to witnessing people in the military that should have never even had made it past the recruiter's desk.
Another thing about this story, and one that I've been advocating for years, is WHY is he allowed multiple weapons while going through PTSD treatment? That literally means that he is allowed to have a weapon while diagnosed with a mental disorder. This country needs a database to ban people diagnosed with certain mental disorders from being able to own a gun. Their 2nd amendment right means NOTHING to me when they are shooting peoples' innocent kids or killing civilians walking down the street.
Just for the record, I'm a service member and a gun owner! So I'm not against many things as I believe in our freedom!
