"In the military, weapons do not get lost or stolen."
Wait, what? A simple search will show that the US military has lost more than 1,900 weapons between 2010 and 2019 alone. And that's the ones they admit to.
"Keeping your guns securely stored at all times is an important tenet of military culture."
Where? On base, on U.S. soil, surrounded by razor-wire-topped fences, with armed guards at the gates who search all vehicles and check all visitors?
What about a FOB in the sandbox; is it "an important tenet of military culture" for troops deployed in hostile territory to keep their guns unloaded and securely locked in an armory? Or is it more important that those troops be armed and able to respond to violent attacks in seconds?
My home is not on a state-side military base, behind fences and gates and armed guards, and far from hostile insurgents. We're on our own; it's far more similar to the FOB.
Your analogy -- and therefore your argument -- is invalid.
God forbid I keep my weapons somewhere where some irresponsible Taliban could walk off with $80B of them. I don't think we deserve to hear lecture one from the US military about stolen weapons.

Yep, veterans like Mr. Crenshaw (TX 2) who prefers more thorough bg checks and red flags.
