Message: <blockquote data-quote="tRidiot" data-source="post: 2018643" data-attributes="member: 9374">Agreed... but that is also in a country with mandatory military service, that has been in open armed conflict of one type or another for decades with neighboring countries. Unfortunately, I think most of the sheeple in the US would freak at the thought of that kind of security around their poor little fragile children. <img src="/images/smilies/frown.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" data-shortname=":(" />I would love it... and I would personally volunteer some of my time regularly to patrol my son's school or the public school system where I live and work. We need more parents willing to get involved, we need to encourage honest, responsible, level-headed citizens to get permits and more training, and we need to let them carry on campus. I think volunteer forces would go a LONG ways towards discouraging these kinds of attacks. We've all seen it... where do these attacks happen most frequently??? In places where there are large amounts of vulnerable people, and also most frequently, in places where guns are discouraged our outright banned. Movie theaters (most of these are no-carry zones now, right??? WHY????), shopping malls (same story), and schools. And some in hospitals, most of which are also posted.Good, hardworking, honest and responsible citizens need to be more PROACTIVE in their protection and defense, and in that of their children and coworkers. We need to stand up and say, "I am not going to allow my kids, family, friends and coworkers to be targets!" In short, we need a fundamental shift in this country away from sheeple-ism. There are many of us who are responsible gun owners, yes... but we need to stop sitting back and letting the loudmouthed camera-hungry politicians and anti-gun activists slowly work on turning this into an unarmed state. If there are 80 million-plus gun owners in the US, how in the hell did we allow it to get to the point that we have been prohibited from protecting our most valuable assets (our children!) in the one place where they are most vulnerable??? If I go to pick up my son at school, I can't leave my vehicle, because state law says if I walk over to the playground, I just became a felon! This is in spite of the hardened steel lockbock tethered to my seatposts and the 2-way paging alarm with multiple interior and exterior sirens and multiple redundant battery backup. Seriously?We've allowed our schools to become proverbial barrels full of proverbial baby fish! <img src="/images/smilies/frown.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
