You probably didn't have a dedicated armorer whose job it was to
inventory and repair weapons. We had an armorer at the company level.

Yup, still one there.

And *that* is a lot of stuff: road graders, cranes, gen sets, a
gazillion radios, etc, etc.

Were weapons listed in there someplace?

Oh, now they call what used to be the mechanized battalion, ENGINEER
COMPANY, ENGINEER BATTALION, HEAVY DIVISION/

http://fas.org/man/dod-101/army/unit/toe/05337F000.htm

Looks like they don't call them 'Mechanized Infantry' anymore.

I was in HQ Company for the 411th Engineering Brigade based out of Ft
Tilden, NY for the 2nd half of my Army Reserve stint. I don't think I
ever saw a weapon the whole time other than the Nike Missile base that
was hidden away in the sand dunes.

Didn't you guys have to qualify or familiarize annually?

Having worked with Army Reserve units, I would easily believe what you
said. Sometime I'll tell you about the Reserve Diving Detachment I had
'grounded' in San Diego.

Your sanity is your opinion. It won't fly in the opinion of many here
because your ideas "infringe" on their rights.

Despite their protestations, nothing in the constitution protects them
from jumping through hoops. So tough ****.

Funny, but if we are talking about voting, simply showing an ID is
voter suppression.

The Supreme Court has ruled requiring voter ID is constitutional.
Way back. And it's fine with me.
Voter suppression is addressed by the DOJ.
IOW, you don't have a constitutional argument against being required to
jump through hoops to own a gun.
