Ret. Staff Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford, who was shot seven times by Nidal Hasan in a 2009 attack at the same military base, supports eliminating that restriction
"I support that 100 percent. I do," Lunsford told "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.
Lunsford said that with terrorists ready to strike on home soil, soldiers need to be ready to strike back. He also said there is simply a deterrent factor to a potential attacker that comes with knowing the would-be victims are armed. Lunsford still thinks he would have been shot by Hisan if the firearms ban weren't in place, but he or someone else may have had the opportunity to fire back and end the bloodshed sooner.
