Hilarious argument by USA Today stating that MP soldiers receive all this high level training, just as gun banner types always claim cops do. As a friend of someone who was a MP for years, the training they have is joke and the avg enthusiast civilian shoots a lot more and a lot better.

"The critics are loudly blaming the current policy on President Clinton, but it actually originated in February 1992 under George H.W. Bush, when the secretary of Defense was that notorious anti-gun liberal Dick Cheney."

We weren't allowed to carry weapons except for training when I served under R.M. Nixon. Unarmed soldier has been the norm since after WWI.
