Jeb! Wrong!
Jeb!’s lips were moving on July 17th, 2015, at a townhall in Nevada, so of course, idiot juice poured forth from his mouth …
“A law was passed, apparently in the Clinton administration, about whether, in recruiting offices … Marines or other military should be able to have guns. Apparently it is prohibited.”
That is so wrong. First off, it wasn’t a law, it was a military directive. Second off, the directive took place under Jeb!’s dad, who is named – unlike Jeb! – Bush.
The military, who knows a thing or two about guns, is opposed to military personal working on a military base to carry firearms. Some Air Force mechanic fixing an airplane, a member of the army cooking for the troops, a Navy guy on a nuclear submarine, or a Marine doing pushups should not be required to have a gun on them. They have base security personal for that.
The military, who knows a thing or two about guns, does not buy into the false good-guy-with-a-gun claim. The military knows for a damn fact that arming everyone is asking for problems.
Even Jeb!’s dad thought that allowing the military to run the military is good idea.
