Wait, what?

GOP bill allows guns on military bases - The Hill's RegWatch

Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas) proposed the Safe Military Bases Act, H.R. 3199, along with six other House Republicans…Reps. Michael Burgess (R-Texas), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Doug LaMalfa (R-Calif.), Pete Olson (R-Texas), Bill Posey (R-Fla.) and Randy Weber (R-Texas).

(You may notice the name "Texas" showing up there from time to time.)

Yeah, this is just another variant of the "if more people had guns there would be less shooting" argument. Which sounds a little suspect to me. And anyway, if the military doesn't have the chops to secure its own bases we have bigger problems to attend to.
