USMC makes stupidity an official policy

Well the USMC has decided that gun free zones are the direction they want to go: http://kitup.military.com/2014/04/marin ... ent-102573
When will a Soldier, Sailor or Marine attempt to take someone to court over these policies? It seems to me that you could even use one of the biggest gun grabbers arguments against the policy. They have saying that the second amendment only applies to the militia. They would never be able to win the argument that Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen were part of the Militia and as such they have the right and expectation to be able to keep and bear arms. I joined the active Army in 1982 and they made horribly difficult to own weapons back then, needing commander's authorization, keeping them in the unit arms room. In most cases single Soldiers living in the barracks who wanted to own firearms worked with a married member of the unit to arrange to keep their weapons off post so they didn't have to go through the red tape of bringing them on post.
