FROM THE ARTICLE:

“Societies have to think about how they’re going to approach the problem,” Noble said. “One is to say we want an armed citizenry; you can see the reason for that. Another is to say the enclaves are so secure that in order to get into the soft target you’re going to have to pass through extraordinary security.”

When one talks about the possibility of erecting permanent security firewalls around millions of soft targets, one must consider that, first and foremost, there's not a defensive line in all of recorded history that hasn't eventually been breached, circumvented, or otherwise defeated by a determined and creative enemy. Secondly, one must consider the astronomical cost of those defensive barriers. Thirdly, one must consider that most Americans do not wish to live under indefinite martial law.

The solution is clear and has been for over 225 years- keep the citizens well armed and well educated on the use of their arms. There is no other viable solution.

It bears repeating: there is no other viable solution.

The liberals who argue otherwise display an incredible lack of reason and have taken the innate stupidity of their leftist ideology to new heights and, in doing so, they threaten the security of the country, the constitution, and the American people.

This threat underlies our hatred for them. It isn't their skin color that we hate, it's their dangerously high level of stupidity which threatens us all.

Look at how cost-effective the Maginot Line was for the French.
