re: #82 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

The Army had a similar regulation preventing anyone with a history of domestic violence from carrying a sidearm. Mind you, they could still drive a tank, crew a howitzer or control a rocket battery, just not carry a pistol…

Fair enough, but when was the last time you heard about a disgruntled boyfriend or hubby going on a rampage with a howitzer or a tank (aside from that killdozer loony about 20 years ago)?

Now that I think about it, there was someone that did indeed steal a tank from an Army base and went on a batshit crazy joyride before he was finally stopped, but now I don’t remember all the circumstances of that incident.
