I've heard from various news reports that the medical installation where the shooter went is not guarded with armed MPs or security guards. It seems quite basic to have some armed military police protection in those areas.
And as for the soldiers on the base to have to turn in their weapons while on base, I don't see the logic in that. ALL are well-trained in weapon safety and the judgement as to when/how to use one.
Can policemen imagine turning in their weapons when they enter their police departments? Can Secret Service officers imagine turning in their weapons when they enter the White House? Why would soldiers in their workplace be expected to be unarmed, as if nobody would attack there?
