(Retired) Tom R Brown Retired USAFR 105 Abbey Ln Summerville SC 29485 coltbrown@knology.net 843-261-0441 GUNS Arming National Guard 76.73.213.103 I too was shocked and saddened by the murders at Mother Emanuel AME Church last month and again by the murders of Military members last week in Chattanooga. Bill Clinton took guns away from the federal military when he was president which made military facilities "soft targets". I believe it is in your power to authorize state guard members to be armed while on duty, especially at armories and other remote locations. My son works at the Field Maintenance Facility #6 in Edgefield. They are totally defenseless. Please take steps to arm them, and advertise it, before we have another tragedy. I think you are doing a great job, keep it up. Thanks......Tom
