Think pulling pics from our files is easy? I type in “guns” and of the first 80 pics displayed, over 60 have a pretty girl in them.<\/p><\/div>\n

For starters, retired Navy officer LCDR Craig Wortham was found to have a personally owned weapon (with a concealed carry permit) at an installation entry gate (probably Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek – Fort Story, since that is where his original installation ban was cited) – and was banned not just from that post’s facilities, but at all Navy installations in the Hampton Roads area. Not only is the breadth of the ban unusual, it was issued the same day as the recent change allowing active duty personnel to carry their own personal weapons on post.<\/p>\n

The retired officer is now barred from entering Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek\u2013Fort Story and is prohibited from accessing housing, exchanges, medical facilities and other on-base services. The restriction extends across Navy Region Mid-Atlantic, effectively blocking access to multiple installations in the Hampton Roads area.<\/p>\n

Unlike active-duty troops, retirees do not fall under the Pentagon\u2019s new policy allowing service members to request permission to carry privately owned firearms on base. That gap is now raising questions about whether prior military service has any bearing on how rules are enforced and whether retirees face stricter consequences despite their continued ties to the military community.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

No details on how the weapon was found, but it is interesting that his punishment seems to be harsher than normal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks for sharing. Our team is reviewing. This is unacceptable,\u201d Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wrote Wednesday on X in response to a post describing the incident.\u00a0Military.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Speaking of harsh punishment – PO\u00a0 Tate Adamiak should be remembered here – he is the fella that Joe Biden’s ATF ramrodded into a 20 year sentence on the rationale that a bunch of flat pieces of metal “could be made” into full auto sears. Therefore his semi-auto guns and the metal pieces were the same as unlicensed full-auto weapons. An expert witness helped disprove that but he still got the 20 year (240 months<\/strong>)\u00a0 sentence. What is interesting is a comparison of his sentence compared to other “gun criminals.”.<\/p>\n

Alfredo Gonzalez-Diaz, a 42-year-old Mexican citizen illegally residing in Houston, was charged with drug trafficking on U.S. streets and unlawfully possessing a rocket launcher, rocket-propelled grenades, guns and ammunition, according to U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani.<\/p>\n

\u201cA rocket launcher, two rocket propelled grenades, 8.5 kilos of heroin, and lots, and lots, of cash,\u201d said Hamdani.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He got 175 months.<\/p>\n

Timothy Lawrence Carll, 67, possessed four fully automatic machine guns, including an AK-style rifle, a Thompson M1 submachine gun, a Sterling submachine gun, and a PPSh-41 submachine gun. Carll also possessed four metal tubes that he knew were designed and intended for use in converting a weapon into a machine gun, specifically for use as part of Sten submachine guns of various models.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Carll is facing a 10 year (120 month) sentence max.<\/p>\n

Daniel Matthew Kittson, 61, was found guilty of illegally transferring a fully functional PPSh submachine gun. He got 27 months.<\/p>\n

Howard Neil Martin, 46, was sentenced to seven and a half years in federal prison for possession with the intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine, carrying a firearm during a drug-trafficking offense, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.\u00a0\u00a0Second Amendment Foundation<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ninety months for Kittson. Starting to see a pattern yet? Real criminals, real offenses, not Bidenesque ATF questionable charges, yet all substantially shorter sentences. We covered Adamiak previously\u00a0 here<\/a> and\u00a0here again<\/a> . Worth rereading them. And contacting your Congresscritters. Gotta wonder why the “most pro-gun administration in history” is letting this one slide<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
