No it wouldn't. If you would do more than pay attention to the Washington Times, you'd learn that even they now admit they were wrong.
Here is the law, dated and effective 25 Feb 92.

Fucking dimwit teabagger lemming.
Bullshit. The army directive came in Feb of '92. The change in U.S. Army regulations was issued in March of 1993, two months after President Clinton assumed office.
Give up. You're just looking more and more stupid with every keystroke.
G. EFFECTIVE DATE AND IMPLEMENTATION
1. This Directive is effective immediately. Forward one
copy of implementing documents to the Assistant Secretary of
Defense (Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence) and
the Inspector General, Department of Defense within 120 days.
2. Documents that implement this Directive in overseas
areas should be framed in a manner to satisfy applicable
provisions of international agreements or arrangements relating
to law enforcement and security matters.
Snopes and plenty of other sources make it crystal clear the regulation was issued in March of '93. Army Regulation 190-14:

Notice the effective date of March 12, 1993? You were saying something about stupid?
To the point, it's a STUPID FUCKING RULE. Disarming soldiers has left them unable to defend themselves, a right other Americans enjoy. How's that working out for them?
