An on-base shooting that left one sailor dead last week has prompted the Navy to begin prohibiting delivery drivers who have a felony conviction in the past 10 years from coming onto any of its bases from North Carolina to Maine, officials said Monday.
The Navy has said a civilian truck driver who was a convicted felon managed to get onto Naval Station Norfolk, walk onto a guided-missile destroyer and disarm one sailor and use her gun to shoot and kill another sailor who rushed to her defense.
Killed in the shooting was 24-year-old Petty Officer 2nd Class Mark Mayo, of Hagerstown. Navy officials have said there's no indication the attack was planned or had any link to terrorism.

THIS makes no sense at all. All of these people who have caused grief and issues on bases have had NO records. So how does this help in any regards other than stopping x-offenders from trying to get back into Life and make a living and not go back into crime. Guess it is the old say that they always lock the barn after the animals escape to make it look good when in fact solves nothing at all.
