All the more reasons not to put the equipment in their hands, not to educate them via internet blogs, and to keep them from our shores. STL, you may not realize it, but your just named a few of the issues with home defense. How to prevent needing them is a better avenue for discussion.
Oh I realize it, but that's because it's nearly impossible to protect ourselves from people already in this country. Should we just close our borders and stop importing all from foreign nations? Can't be done, ask N Korea how well that works out. Do we put gates around our colleges? A week after 9/11 planes were back in the air, that's because you can't fight agasint something that can't be won, all you can do is create awareness and some restrictions, but what does that do? It only allows people to use other means to cause their harm, proven at Virginia Tech.
As far as us ever coming under a real attack from a foreign nation, well we will be in a world war when that day comes. Home defense? Go to work and just keep your eyes open, that's the only real defense.
Schummer and Michael Moore and the rest of the libs have a lot in common, point out the problems that can't be fixed, then take advantage of the situation from the people who think that they are actually right. They all live in Disneyworld sets you back $60 a day to live in their fantasy world. The real world is free, but there's no Space Mountain.
