Colonel Jeff Cooper's To Ride, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth describes exactly what is wrong with the United States today. Cooper wrote of the society in which he grew up during the 1930s,
"Boys were taught to shoot and use their hands, and girls were taught to expect that in their men. ... In that society, it would have been both futile and ridiculous for two punks to assume control over 159 people."
Cooper's position was that there was no excuse -- none -- for 159 passengers to allow a pair of hijackers to take over an airliner. It is easy to imagine what Cooper would say about more than a million people in Boston and its suburbs allowing one punk to lock them in their homes, and out of their workplaces, at a cost of up to one billion dollars. The message to terrorists could not be clearer: Any deranged individual willing to sacrifice his life or his freedom can bring a major U.S. city to its knees.
Cooper explained exactly why:
"The press, academe, and the law enforcement establishment preach: Do not fight back! On the street, in your home, on the airplane, on the high seas, anywhere, anytime. Do not fight back! You may be hurt."

Wow. Costs a lot now!
In the 2010s
Boys are taught to fear guns and only use their hands to fondle themselves and girls are taught to expect no more in men.

What would he do if someone knocked the door down and came after his family?
That’s what my 12 gauge and .38 are for. Kick my door in and you are in a for a load of hurt.
“..How is anyone secure in their home when rogue cops are aiming weapons willy-nilly at every shadow? Thats just soooooo wrong!!...”
And yet they cheered and clapped for the very jack-booted thugs that had their boots on their necks and their guns in their faces!! Cheering USA! USA! USA! Yep. Liberalism is, in fact, a serious chronic mental disease. Like we needed any more proof. Morons, all of em.
