Yes, we (at least some of us) learned that there are evil people , with evil intentions, that no matter what you do to stop them, they will still come at you. Billions spent on “Homeland Security” and they could not stop one lone mental case from killing dozens of innocent people...........It is up to the individual to provide their own security. The government cannot protect you 24/7/365. You, as an individual, are your own first line of defense, and the government is just a backup. The Kookciniches of this world want to take away that one last line of defense and leave you totally helpless to defend yourself............
You can’t secure yourself against bombs. There is no way. Nutjobs who shoot like the VT killer YES YOU CAN by carrying. But bombs no way. Too many people have been killed all over the world by bombs - even nations that carry guns around all the time.
