This should not even be a question on a military installation.

We are one of the most disarmed segments of society on base
I've said it once, I've said it 1,000 times: They trust us with loaded "assault rifles" downrange, carried in a loaded posture, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week... why not back home?

While I can see the arguments for letting soldiers carry on base, I also remember some instances that lead to commanders pointing to why soldiers in the barracks could have no weapons at all. Like in Hawaii some infantry guy had a pistol in his room and one drunken night kills the pizza delivery guy for some reason. Or an argument over some barracks skank gets one guy gut stabbed with a k-bar. The problems of these daytime shootings might be solved, but the night time accidents after pounding a 12 pack might be worse. There would have to be major changes in mentalities for this to work, and I don't see the power drinking and testosterone fueled idiocy common in on base parties stopping anytime soon.
Military bases are not any more subject to shootings or crime than any other city. There are just as many people on a military base that I don't want armed with an assault rifle as there are civilians who I don't want to see armed with an assault rifle. If the shooter at Ft. Hood this past week had his M4, the situation would have been even worse.
