The defense of our Freedoms is the responsibility of EVERY American, not just those in uniform.

That mom's child is learning that it is better to hide indoors against INCREDIBLE odds of being shot, in order for MOM not to be worried.

The price of Freedom is ETERNAL vigilance. Not just when the shooting stops.

The odds are way better (worse?) than winning the mega-millions lottery, and I see people buying those tickets every day.

Little children aren't your soldiers. Get over it, you can't have them.

As far as eternal vigilance in protecting liberty, parents and citizens here are better prepared to take action than just about anywhere else in the nation. Virginia is where American liberty was born. We'll die for it. But we won't offer up the kiddies as fodder for a maniac.

...The defense of our Freedoms is the responsibility of EVERY American...

Your words ring eternally true.
I have enjoyed our exchanges tonight.
God Bless You, BuddhaBoy.

XLurk signing off to actually get some late-nite work done.

If every adult American of sound mind who has never been convicted of a felony was able to carry his/her firearm in public anywhere - this sniper bastard would have been roadkill at least 11 days ago - and fewer innocent people would have died.

THINK about that folks.

Peace, Freedom, and whatever...
