Veterans stand guard over recruiting stations; Sen. Jerry Moran introduces legislation to repeal gun ban

As Twitchy reported earlier, while recruiters were being advised not to wear their military uniforms in the immediate wake of the Chattanooga, Tenn., shootings that killed four Marines and one Sailor, some citizens saw nothing to stop them from taking up arms and volunteering to stand guard over military recruiting stations.
