Good. An armed society is a polite society.

I feel like you have had different experiences than I with junior enlisted and good judgement/weapons on post. Typically they don't mix well

A 2LT with a compass could get more people killed at once.
19 year olds are shitty with weapons when they're drinking, but we still make them gunners on M1s, give them automatic weapons, put them behind mortars, have them load JDAMs on carriers, etc. Just give the safety brief harder, that'll do the trick.

If you can't be trusted with a weapon on or off duty you shouldn't be in the military.

I would allow NCO's to carry (E4 or higher).

You do realize that it's not their weapon, per se, it's the Army's or the Marine Corps. They are responsible for it, but they use it at the pleasure of the Army or Marine Corps or any other branch of the service. So thus, it's not their weapon .
Thousands of Junior Enlisted types with weapons in an unsupervised environment......what could go wrong?

I'm retired military and I'll say it again. If you can't be trusted with a weapon on or off duty you shouldn't be in the military.
Nobody gives a frick what New Zealand thinks.

Having seen some of the shenanigans first hand that happen in barracks, I just have a hard time thinking that conduct would improve with either personal or issued weapons in barracks. Also what problem is being solved by allowing it?

The military has never trusted enlisted men with weapons on base state side unless during an exercise. They certainly are not going to trust 18-21 year olds with a loaded weapon. Your belief belies the reality of things. Thousands of people walking around with loaded weapons at any time without restriction and thus adequate supervision is stupid.
Remember, stupid is a choice.

There are some real whack job sergeants out there. I wouldn't take a chance. It's like waiting for something stupid and tragic to happen because of.....muh guns. Besides those weapons are not their weapons. Just their responsibility.

Not true. You really are a retard.

You're saying the military lets enlisted men walk around base stateside with fully loaded weapons who are not MPs or troops undergoing weapons training? Are you saying that it was not up to the garrison commander to allow only certain individuals to possess weapons whe not training and then only under exigent circumstances? You are saying there was a time when all enlisted individuals were allowed to carry a weapon with them at their leisure?

Ahh, that's not what you said. This is what you said.
