U.S. Senator Rand Paul today introduced an amendment, which would amend permit members of the armed forces to possess firearms on military installations in accordance with applicable state and local law, to the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (S.754). Similarly, Sen. Paul introduced S.1839, the Service Members Self Defense Act of 2015, as a stand-alone bill earlier this year.

"I find it ridiculous that the brave men and women serving in our armed forces are asked to defend us overseas but cannot protect themselves once they return home. My amendment ensures that our honorable service members are allowed to protect themselves while serving our nation at home," Sen. Paul said.
